If you’ve built your business on Kajabi, this week’s pricing update may have felt like a betrayal.
As of 2025, Kajabi is raising prices across the board. Their Basic plan now costs $179/month and limits you to just 5 products.
Want unlimited products? You’ll need to jump to their $399/month Pro plan.
And if you were hoping to use your own custom domain or remove Kajabi’s branding, that’ll cost you more, too.
It’s no wonder coaches, consultants, and course creators are looking for a smarter, more scalable platform. One that gives you full control of your business without nickel-and-diming you for basic features.
Enter: Kartra Starter.
The Real Cost of “All-in-One” with Kajabi
Why Pay 4X More for Kajabi?
Everything Kartra Starter gives you for $99 costs $399/month on Kajabi.
Kajabi markets itself as an all-in-one platform. But if you’ve been a customer long enough, you know the true cost goes far beyond your monthly fee.
With Kajabi:
- $179/month gets you just 5 products
- You can’t use your own domain unless you’re on the $179/month plan
- You can’t remove Kajabi branding unless you pay for the $199/month Growth plan
- You don’t get unlimited products unless you pay for the $399/month Pro plan
By contrast, Kartra Starter starts at just $99/month and gives you:
- Unlimited products
- Your own custom domain
- No Kartra branding on your pages
- Advanced funnels, email automation, and checkout features included
Kartra is Built for Marketers, Not Just Course Creators
Kajabi is a solid platform if your main business is teaching online courses.
But if you’re building a real, multifaceted business — one that includes coaching, digital and physical products, memberships, or services — you’ll quickly feel boxed in.
Kartra was built for marketers, not just educators.
You get:
- A true visual funnel builder
- Upsells, downsells, and A/B split testing
- Advanced segmentation and tagging based on user behavior
- Full control over your checkout flow and email automations
Unlimited Products. Period.
This is the dealbreaker for most people switching from Kajabi.
Whether you offer 1 course or 101, Kartra Starter lets you sell unlimited products. You’ll never have to “upgrade” your plan just to grow.
Kajabi, on the other hand, restricts your business growth behind paywalls. You only access unlimited products with their $399/month Pro plan.
Designed for Scaling, Not Scrambling
If you’re here, it’s probably because you’re tired of duct-taping your business together. Or being told you need to pay more to unlock what should already be included.
Kartra isn’t just a platform. It’s a new way to work:
- Everything talks to everything
- Your funnels, emails, checkouts, and automations all live in one connected system
- You can build once, then scale without limits
As Kartra user Louise Henry says, “Kartra allows me to create repeatable systems. I duplicate successful launches, tweak them, and run them again.”
Making the Switch from Kajabi? Here’s What to Know
Thousands migrated from Kajabi to Kartra, and many say they wish they’d switched sooner.
Switching to Kartra comes with:
- Personalized onboarding resources
- A dedicated support team
- A thriving community of creators who’ve made the switch
“I’m no longer patching multiple sites together with Zapier. I have one seamless on-brand system,” praises Althea McIntyre, another satisfied Kartra user.
Once you make the switch? You’re free to grow. Free to experiment. Free to create without hitting a paywall.
What Could You Build Without Kajabi’s Limitations?
You started this business to create more freedom.
But how free do you really feel right now?
If the tools you’re using are limiting your growth, control, or confidence, it’s time to switch.
Kartra Starter was built for people just like you: purpose-driven experts ready to scale, without giving up control.
