Kajabi vs GoHighLevel: A Comprehensive Comparison for Course Creators
Introduction
When it comes to choosing the right platform for your online course business, two names often come up: Kajabi and GoHighLevel. While both platforms offer a range of features, GoHighLevel has taken the best aspects of Kajabi and added a bunch of additional functionalities. In this article, I’ll compare the two platforms to help you make the right decision.
Pricing Comparison
Kajabi Pricing
Lowest plan: $149/month
Mid-tier plan: $199/month
Highest plan: $399/month
The main differences between Kajabi's plans are the number of admin users, products, and other limits, rather than features.
GoHighLevel Pricing
Lowest plan: $97/month (3 sub-accounts, unlimited users within each sub-account)
Mid-tier plan: $297/month (unlimited sub-accounts, ability to rebill SMS and email costs to customers)
Highest plan: $497/month (ability to upsell SMS and email costs, activate SaaS mode for reselling sub-accounts)
Feature Comparison
Funnel Builder
Both Kajabi and GoHighLevel offer drag-and-drop funnel builders. However, Kajabi limits the number of funnels based on your plan, while GoHighLevel allows unlimited funnels.
Products and Courses
Kajabi limits the number of products you can create based on your plan, while GoHighLevel allows unlimited products. In terms of course delivery experience, both platforms are similar, with GoHighLevel's course builder closely resembling Kajabi's.
Communities
Kajabi recently introduced Kajabi Communities, which offers a sleek interface and an AI conversation starter feature. GoHighLevel's community feature, while not as visually polished, still gets the job done with forums, course hosting, and affiliate membership integration.
Mobile App
GoHighLevel recently launched its course and community app, Kollab, to rival Kajabi.
While the two platforms share similarities in offering course and community features, there are some notable differences.
Kollab combines these features into a single app, which makes it easier to navigate compared to Kajabi's separate apps for courses and communities.
However, in terms of user experience, Kajabi has a smoother performance, as Kollab has lagged twice for me while using it.
The screenshots below further illustrate the similarities and differences between these two platforms.
Marketing and Automation
GoHighLevel takes the lead in marketing and automation capabilities. Its robust workflow builder allows for text messaging, automatic calls, and multi-channel conversations. Kajabi's workflows are limited to email marketing only.
Calendars and Scheduling
GoHighLevel offers more flexibility and customization options for calendars and scheduling compared to Kajabi.
Unique Features
GoHighLevel: Conversational AI, Image AI, Social Planner, Text and Call functionality
Kajabi: Podcast hosting and syndication
Earning Potential
GoHighLevel provides a significant advantage in terms of earning potential. With the ability to create your own version of HighLevel, white-label the platform, and resell it to clients, you can own the revenue stream. Kajabi, on the other hand, requires each client to have their own account, making it more cumbersome to manage.
Migrating from Kajabi to GoHighLevel
GoHighLevel recently introduced a Kajabi importer feature, allowing you to transfer an entire course from Kajabi to GoHighLevel with just one click. This makes it easy for clients to leave Kajabi and join your GoHighLevel-powered platform.
Conclusion
While Kajabi excels in certain areas, such as its mobile app and podcast hosting, GoHighLevel emerges as the clear winner for course creators looking for a comprehensive, flexible, and scalable platform. With its extensive feature set, superior marketing and automation capabilities, and the potential to white-label and resell the platform, GoHighLevel offers unmatched value and earning potential.
