Kajabi Pricing 2026: Basic, Growth and Pro, Verified
Vorec Team · 2026-10-16 · About 8 min read
Kajabi's cheapest plan costs $179 a month on monthly billing. For comparison, the cheapest monthly plans we verified this week were $39 for Teachable Starter (15 October) and $49 for Podia Mover (16 October). The plan names alone don't explain the gap. Kajabi bundles a website, email marketing, funnels and a community into every plan. The plans differ mainly on how many products, contacts and admin users you get, and on which payment fee applies to each sale.
We read Kajabi's pricing page in a browser on 16 October 2026, in both billing states, twice each. Every Kajabi price, limit and fee below comes from that capture or from Kajabi's own help centre; Vorec's prices come from our live plan catalogue. Where we calculated something, we show the arithmetic and say it is ours.
Verified 16 October 2026 from the rendered Kajabi pricing page, plus Kajabi's help articles on trials and AI credits. Prices were displayed with a $ symbol. We did not reach checkout, so the billing currency, tax and invoiced totals are unverified.
Kajabi pricing at a glance
| Plan | Monthly billing | Annual billing (per month, as shown) | Annual saving shown | Products | Contacts | Admin users |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $179/month | $143/month | $432/year | 5 | 2,500 | 2 |
| Growth | $249/month | $199/month | $600/year | 50 | 25,000 | 11 |
| Pro | $499/month | $399/month | $1,200/year | Unlimited | 100,000 | 26 |
Growth is badged "Most Popular". The annual tab is labelled "Save 20%". Basic and Growth include 1 website and 1 community; Pro includes 3 of each. The pricing cards and comparison table show these three plans only, with no separately priced enterprise column. That doesn't rule out custom contracts; we simply didn't see one.
What annual billing works out to
These figures are our arithmetic from the displayed monthly equivalents, not checkout quotes:
| Plan | 12 × annual monthly figure | 12 × monthly price | Saving | Saving as % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $1,716 | $2,148 | $432 | 20.1% |
| Growth | $2,388 | $2,988 | $600 | 20.1% |
| Pro | $4,788 | $5,988 | $1,200 | 20.0% |
The stated savings match the monthly difference exactly ($36, $50 and $100 a month, times 12), and all three land on the advertised 20%. We assume the annual charge equals twelve times the displayed monthly figure. We did not see the invoiced total.
What each plan includes
Kajabi's comparison table marks these rows. "Unlimited" and the ✅/❌ marks are as rendered on the page on 16 October 2026.
| Feature | Basic | Growth | Pro |
|---|---|---|---|
| Products | 5 | 50 | Unlimited |
| Contacts | 2,500 | 25,000 | 100,000 |
| Websites / communities | 1 / 1 | 1 / 1 | 3 / 3 |
| Admin users | 2 | 11 | 26 |
| Landing pages, funnels, marketing emails, access groups | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Kajabi Customer App | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Cohort courses | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Video transcriptions and translations | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Branded mobile app | ❌ | ❌ | Included ("$199/mo value") |
| API | ❌ | ❌ | Included ("$25/mo value") |
| Custom code editor | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ |
| Affiliate programs | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Custom domain, checkout pages, payment integrations | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Advanced automations, webhooks | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Comment-to-DM | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Universal Inbox, AI features, third-party integrations | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Remove Kajabi branding | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
Two things are easy to misread:
- Contacts are not students. The cap is on contacts in your Kajabi account. Kajabi's FAQ says that when you hit a limit, extra contacts come "in blocks of 25,000 for $125 a month".
- Video storage isn't on the pricing page. The comparison table doesn't list a video storage or bandwidth figure, so we can't tell you one. Its absence from the table doesn't mean storage is unlimited.
AI credits and AI features
Kajabi's table lists AI credits of 0, 500 and 1,000 a month for Basic, Growth and Pro. Kajabi's help article says credits power transcription, translation and dubbing from one shared pool, reset on the 1st of the month, at these rates:
| Service | Credits per minute | Minutes from 500 credits (Growth) | Minutes from 1,000 credits (Pro) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Transcription | 1 | 500 | 1,000 |
| Translation | 10 | 50 | 100 |
| Dubbing | 100 | 5 | 10 |
The Growth column is our arithmetic. These are alternatives, not totals: the credits are one pool, so 500 credits spent on transcription leave nothing for dubbing.
Some details don't line up yet, so check before you rely on them:
- Basic. It shows 0 included credits but a ✅ for video transcriptions and translations. The help article says all plans can buy credits.
- Top-ups. The pricing table's footnote says you "can purchase $15/mo for 500 ai credits" and that "one-time top-up purchases [are] coming end of cycle". Kajabi's help centre describes a one-time top-up, so availability may differ by account.
- Expert Agents. These carry a "COMING SOON" badge on all three plans.
- Backstage. It shows a footnote saying limits and pricing are "to be determined".
Payment fees
Kajabi's FAQ says it "does not take a revenue share as a platform". Payment processing still costs money, and the rate depends on the plan:
| Fee | Basic | Growth | Pro |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kajabi Payments card processing (shown for US entities) | 2.9% + $0.30 | 2.8% + $0.30 | 2.7% + $0.30 |
| Extra fee when using a third-party payment provider | 2% | 1% | 0.5% |
The third-party row excludes PayPal and Kajabi Payments, and the provider's own fees come on top. According to Kajabi's FAQ, the extra fee applies when Kajabi Payments is available in your region but you choose another processor; where Kajabi Payments isn't offered, there is no additional fee. Kajabi publishes card rates for other countries separately.
Worked example (our arithmetic): at $5,000 a month in sales through a third-party processor in a region where Kajabi Payments is offered, the extra fee is $100 on Basic, $50 on Growth and $25 on Pro. That's before the processor's own charges.
Free trial and refunds
Kajabi's help centre says the standard trial runs 14 days, with the exact end date set when you sign up. Most features work during the trial, but some stay locked until you activate a paid plan. These include editing site-wide email templates, some automation actions such as sending an email or a certificate, and bulk contact imports.
Whether you need a card depends on the trial. The help article covers trials started with a card and trials started without one:
- With a card, Kajabi may place a temporary authorisation hold (its help article notes that not every trial places one) and charges your first subscription period on the day the trial ends unless you cancel first.
- Without a card, you're prompted to choose a plan when the trial ends, and your content is kept.
The pricing page FAQ separately mentions a 30-day money-back guarantee. That is a refund policy, not a longer trial.

Where the lesson videos come from
Kajabi hosts and sells the course. The lessons still have to be made somewhere, and for software and tool courses that usually means screen recordings with a voiceover. Kajabi's AI credits handle transcription, translation and dubbing once a video exists. Producing a clear narrated walkthrough in the first place is a separate job. Our guide on turning recordings into eLearning video content covers that workflow.
Vorec records your screen. It has its own macOS recorder, and an AI agent can drive it for you through the Claude Code plugin, capturing locally for you to review before anything is uploaded. It then drafts narration matched to the workflow it captured and generates the voiceover, so nothing is spoken into a microphone. In the editor you can add smooth cursor motion, cursor-follow zoom and click-based auto-zoom, and freeze-sync can hold a frame to give an explanation time to finish. The same capture can also produce a written step-by-step guide, with annotatable screenshots, and narration regenerates in supported languages on eligible plans, without re-recording. You can upload an existing recording instead if you already have one. You then export the video and upload it as a lesson in your course.
Vorec's prices, read from our live plan catalogue on 16 October 2026, are $9, $24 and $59 a month, or $86, $230 and $566 a year. There is a 7-day trial with 100 credits and no credit card required. The trial includes up to 3 projects, and exports carry a watermark. Details are on Vorec pricing.
