The Real Cost of Kajabi
Kajabi is a course platform first. As of its January 2026 restructure, the $89 Kickstarter plan is no longer sold publicly — the entry plan is now Basic at $179/mo (5 products, 2,500 contacts), and pricing scales with your contact list. Operators who want a deep community layer often add another tool on top.
If courses plus community is the core of what you're selling, HiveLearn's pricing scales with revenue rather than product count or contact list size.
