Side-by-side

LearnKasts vs Kajabi.

Kajabi is a polished, all-in-one platform built in the United States and priced in dollars. LearnKasts is built for educators who sell in local currencies and need learning, not just marketing. Same job. Very different maths.

The short version

Kajabi is the right pick if you already earn in dollars and want a polished US-centric marketing suite. LearnKasts is the right pick if you sell in local currencies, care about completion, and want to keep 98% of every sale.

Where each platform earns its keep.

Pricing and payouts

LearnKasts edge
LearnKasts

Local-currency subscriptions from ₦15,000/month, a flat 2% platform fee and 0% on Enterprise. Payouts land in your own bank account in your currency.

Kajabi

Premium pricing in US dollars from $149/month. Payments route through Stripe and PayPal, which are clunky or unavailable in many markets.

Engagement and gamification

LearnKasts edge
LearnKasts

Quiz battles, XP, streaks, badges and leaderboards live inside every course. It is the spine of the product, not a bolt-on.

Kajabi

No gamification. Kajabi was built as a creator marketing suite; engagement happens in the email funnel, not the course.

AI and course building

LearnKasts edge
LearnKasts

AI Course Builder drafts a full course from a prompt, plus an AI study assistant, auto-captions and transcripts.

Kajabi

Limited native AI course generation. Many educators bring their own prompts from outside the platform.

Marketing and email automation

Kajabi edge
LearnKasts

Broadcasts, sequences, lead magnets, coupons, affiliates and landing pages are built in. Good for most operators.

Kajabi

Email marketing and pipelines are mature and battle-tested. Hard to beat on deep, multi-year nurture flows.
