LearnSuite vs Kajabi: prices, features and when to pick each one
LearnSuite vs Kajabi compared with the prices published on 15 October 2026: plans, commissions, features, pros and cons of both, and when Kajabi is the better choice.
By The LearnSuite team · · 5 min read
Kajabi is the all-in-one platform for creators who sell knowledge: courses, community, email and funnels in one place, at a high fee. LearnSuite is narrower and deeper in a different direction: academies that teach in several languages, charge by zone and support each student. This comparison puts the two side by side, with their strengths and limits. It is part of the map of online course platforms.
Kajabi's data was read on its official pricing page on 15 October 2026 and is in dollars, as published. LearnSuite's comes from our catalogue and is in euros. We do not convert them.
Prices and commissions
| Kajabi (USD, 2026-10-15) | LearnSuite (EUR) | |
|---|---|---|
| Entry plan | Basic: 179 a month, 143 on annual billing | Revenue share: no fee and 20% of sales. Starter: €99 a month (monthly only) plus 8%. Professional: €356.40 a month, €297 on annual billing, no commission |
| Middle plan | Growth: 249 a month, 199 annual | Institution: €836.40 a month, €697 annual |
| Top plan | Pro: 499 a month, 399 annual | Enterprise: from €1,990 a month |
| Platform commission | States there is no revenue share | Revenue share 20%, Starter 8%, Professional and above 0% |
| Processing | Kajabi Payments (US entities): 2.9%, 2.8% or 2.7% + 0.30 depending on plan; other countries per a help table we could not read | Stripe payments at checkout |
| Third-party gateway (except PayPal) | Surcharge of 2%, 1% or 0.5% depending on plan | Not applicable in our plan sheet |
| Trial | 14 days free and a 30-day guarantee | 14 days with a card |
| Contacts | 2,500 / 25,000 / 100,000 | No marketing contact cap in our plan sheet |
| Students or limits | Products: 5 / 50 / unlimited | 500 active students on Professional, 2000 on Institution |
| Admins | 2 / 11 / 26 | 3 instructors on Professional |
Two honest readings. First: Kajabi has the highest entry fee in the group, but a broad marketing package is included. Second: if your contact count grows, extra blocks of 25,000 contacts cost 125 dollars a month. Look at the total of your operation, not just the rate.
Features side by side
| Feature | Kajabi | LearnSuite |
|---|---|---|
| Custom domain | Included from Basic | Academy on your own domain, in Institution |
| Remove platform branding | From Growth | Institution and Enterprise |
| Branded mobile app | On the Pro plan | We do not offer a student mobile app |
| Private community | On every plan (limit per plan) | Not LearnSuite's focus |
| Email and funnels | Marketing and funnels with contacts included | Discount coupons yes; automated email funnels, not today |
| AI credits | 0 / 500 / 1,000 a month | Tutor per academy on all three plans |
| Live cohorts | From Growth | Paid 1:1 sessions on all three plans |
| Translation and video | Lists "video transcriptions and translations", plan not distinguishable | Per-language versions with human review |
| Certificates | We could not verify | On all three plans, verifiable |
| Video protection | Not mentioned on its pricing page | Signed links, watermark and device limit |
| Prices per country | We could not verify | Pricing by zone on Institution and Enterprise |
| Taxes | We could not verify whether it acts as merchant of record | See EU VAT on courses |
"We could not verify" does not mean Kajabi lacks the feature: it means its page does not make it clear and we do not claim it.
Kajabi: the good and the bad
Pros
- No revenue share and low surcharges (0.5% to 2%) if you use a third-party gateway.
- Many admins included (11 on Growth, 26 on Pro).
- Marketing, email and funnels inside the same tool.
- Custom domain already on Basic; branded app on Pro; AI credits included.
- 14-day trial and a 30-day guarantee.
Cons
- Highest entry fee in the group: 143 to 179 dollars a month.
- Basic caps you at 5 products and 2,500 contacts, and has no AI credits.
- Kajabi Payments is shown for US entities; other countries need a separate table.
- With contact-tier pricing, growing costs more.
LearnSuite: the good and the bad
Pros
- A per-language version of every lesson, reviewed by a person before it is published.
- Protected video, verifiable certificates and paid 1:1 sessions on every plan.
- Pricing by zone (11 zones by default) with the buyer evaluated by country and signals, not by what they declare.
- Tutor per academy included.
Cons
- No student mobile app or branded app.
- No automated email funnels today (discount coupons do exist): if your business is marketing and launches, Kajabi is well ahead.
- Community is not the centre of the product.
- Pricing by zone and white label start at Institution.
When to pick Kajabi
- Your sales engine is email, launches and funnels.

- You sell in countries with different purchasing power and want pricing by zone.
- Your value is personal support through 1:1 sessions.
- You want to protect your video and issue certificates anyone can check.
Before deciding, work out fee, processing and taxes with your real sales (how to price an online course) and review the LearnSuite plans. To compare with the rest, go back to the market map.
