LearnWorlds vs Kajabi: price, limits and who picks which

LearnWorlds vs Kajabi: the short answer

LearnWorlds Starter is $24 a month, billed annually, plus $5 per paid enrollment, as read on October 4, 2026, and Kajabi Basic is $143 a month, billed annually. Billed monthly, the same two plans are $29 and $179 a month. A paid enrollment is one learner's enrollment in a course.

The plans count different things. Kajabi Basic lists 5 products, 2,500 contacts, 1 website and 1 community. LearnWorlds Starter sells unlimited paid courses to up to 1,000 active learners a month, meaning learners who access the school during the month, with 1 admin.

Price, limits, fees and refunds side by side

Payment processing is a separate charge on both sides: Stripe or PayPal charge it on LearnWorlds, and Kajabi Payments is 2.9% plus $0.30 on Basic.

What each one does that the other does not

LearnWorlds Starter includes graded quizzes with essential question types, unlimited video hosting, coupons and order bumps. SCORM starts at Pro Trainer, and so do certificates, per the plan comparison, along with free and private courses, learning paths, bundles, installments and a question bank. Pro Trainer is $99 a month, billed monthly, or $79 a month, billed annually; LearnWorlds pricing lists every plan.

Kajabi Basic puts a website, 2,500 contacts and a community in one plan, and every Kajabi plan carries a 30-day money-back guarantee. Kajabi also says you can upgrade, downgrade or cancel whenever you like. LearnWorlds states no money-back guarantee.

LearnWorlds connects to a Stripe, PayPal or Shopify account of your own, and subscriptions run only through Stripe. Subscriptions start at Pro Trainer, which also allows 2,000 active learners and 5 admins.

Starter has no mass email credits, the monthly allowance of emails sent through the platform's own mass email tool; that tool starts at Pro Trainer with 2,000 a month. On Starter, email marketing runs through connected tools such as Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign and Kit, as the LearnWorlds email marketing guide covers.

Who should pick LearnWorlds and who should pick Kajabi

Pick Kajabi Basic, $179 a month billed monthly or $143 billed annually, if you want your website, 2,500 contacts and a community in the same plan and sell five products or fewer.

Pick LearnWorlds for a catalog of more than five paid courses, or when SCORM or certificates matter. Starter's $5 enrollment fee is on top of the plan; Pro Trainer, $79 a month billed annually, has no enrollment fee. The learner cap is the other limit: 1,000 active learners a month on Starter and 2,000 on Pro Trainer. A first real sale on LearnWorlds waits for a paid plan, because the trial leaves out custom domains and payments.

LearnWorlds can be tried for 30 days with no credit card; Kajabi offers a free trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Kajabi alternatives lists other platforms, and LearnWorlds vs Thinkific sets LearnWorlds against another course-first rival.
