Hidden Costs Breakdown

1

Significant 2026 price increase: Kajabi raised prices in January 2026 for the first time in 10 years - existing users saw increases of 20-40% depending on their plan

2

Contact limits cap your growth: Kickstarter is limited to 250 contacts, Basic to 2,500 - exceeding these forces an upgrade, and contact limits include all contacts, not just paying students

3

Payment processing fees on all plans: Kajabi Payments charges 2.7-2.9% + $0.30 per transaction; using third-party processors adds an additional 0.5-2% surcharge on top

4

Third-party payment processor surcharge: Using Stripe or PayPal instead of Kajabi Payments costs an extra 2% (Basic), 1% (Growth), or 0.5% (Pro) on top of the processor's own fees

5

No free plan and no low-cost entry: The cheapest Kajabi plan is $71/month (annual) or $89/month - significantly more expensive than Teachable ($29/mo) or Thinkific ($36/mo)

6

Website template costs: Premium Kajabi website templates cost $147-$897 each, adding significant upfront costs beyond the subscription

7

Kajabi Access add-on: The Kajabi Access mobile app add-on costs an extra $99/month for branded mobile app features

8

Email marketing is included but limited by contacts: While email marketing is built-in (a major advantage), your contact limit determines how many people you can email - exceeding it requires a tier upgrade
