Kajabi alternatives
Switch to Systeme.io if you want Kajabi's all-in-one setup (courses, community, email and funnels) for $170 a year with no transaction fees. Pick Thinkific if your business is mainly courses, or Mighty Networks if your community is the product.

Thinkific suits most course creators: unlimited courses, community and email on every plan, and no per-student fees. Teachable is better for a few products sold worldwide with tax handled.
