Both are big names in online courses — and they're built for very different people. Kajabi is the premium all-in-one; Teachable is the cheap-to-start course seller. Here's an honest, up-to-date breakdown of price, fees, and who owns your brand — plus a third option worth knowing about.
Free plan · no card needed · every feature included
*Kajabi advertises “0% transaction fees,” but adds a ~2% surcharge on the Basic plan when you use your own Stripe account (0.7% extra on subscriptions via Kajabi Payments). Pricing verified 2026 — always check each provider for the latest.
You want the deepest all-in-one — funnels, email, courses, and site in one dashboard — and budget isn't the deciding factor. It's the priciest here at $179/mo, and the “0% fee” hides a surcharge, but nothing else bundles quite as much.
You want the cheapest way to launch a first paid course and test an idea fast. $39/mo gets you going — just know Starter takes 7.5% of every sale, and there's no free plan to fall back on anymore.
Your site is (or could be) on Webflow. It's the only option here that turns courses into real pages of your own site — your brand, your domain, every feature free to start, and a fee that falls all the way to 0%.
Run your course business on your own Webflow site — every feature free to start, with a fee that reaches zero.
