    Chose Kajabi
    Kajabi is easier to use than Ontraport and Keap. Keap does have a lot more features that we just don't need at this time. ActiveCampaign and Mailchimp don't have the features Kajabi does. ConvertKit I used when it was first coming out and it didn't have much in the way of …

    Chose Kajabi
    We chose Kajabi because it can do so much. We didn't end up going all-in on Kajabi - our email is still with ConvertKit and our site is still on WordPress, but we're very happy with having our checkouts, courses, and membership content on Kajabi. We create some of our landing …

    Chose Kajabi
    It blows them out of the water. There really is no comparison at all. Each of the others listed have some benefits, but none offering an end user experience the way that Kajabi does. HighLevel would be the closest, but they still have a ways to go.

    ConvertKit
    It is perfect for artists and content creators. It is perfect for service based providers who want to house their potential leads. Entry level entrepreneurs can also benefit. It is not an all in one type of platform, but it is useful for list building and setting up automation. If you have less than 1K subscribers, this is the route to go until you need to use automation. Then, just feel free to upgrade.

    Kajabi
    If you need to create a self-paced course, Kajabi works well, if you want something complicated, and want to check homework and communicate a lot with students, Kajabi must be used in complex with other resources like Slack and YouTube. But anyway it is a good platform to create a digital course.

    Pros
    ConvertKit
    • Literally unlimited templates for designing the Email campaigns
    • Launching a landing page to capture leads (emails) quickly
    • Analytics to track almost everything including delivery rates gives the ability to optimise next/future campaigns accordingly
    • Newly launched journey or drip email campaigns is great as well

    • Kajabi's feature that allows us to post and manage our curriculum is very efficient and easy to use.
    • Kajabi also has great features around contact management that have been critical for our use.

    Cons
    ConvertKit
    • I think the dashboard could benefit form allowing more customization
    • The way you format email templates is pretty limited
    • The saved footer options seems glitchy. I can never get it to work right.

    • The page builder is not as intuitive as other competitors. It takes too many click to get around the different elements and settings.
    • Better onboarding mechanism and explanation of where everything is located
    • I'm not sure why I need to create a event to use a simple countdown on a sales page, when I could simply choose the end date I want the countdown to go to for a specific price point offer

    We are committed to it and once we get "really good" at using it, I think it is a excellent platform and links well to Hubspot. At present, we are still just barely scratching the surface with our use of its features

    Usability
    ConvertKit
    Can be summed up in three words that 'It just Works'. Crafted for creators and artists in mind, it offers all they need for start building up list. Free tier is really a good move to test out stuff. I am staying with them considering their good email delivery and simple interface and easy integration with our website software. WYSIYG Editor, Standard reporting but not deep level analytics gives all the basic tools needed to support the business.

    The back-end system can be used efficiently and has flexibility. It doesn't have a lot of unnecessary functions or un user-friendly features. We have had no issues using the system and would continue to use it with the current functions and features. I would rate it as user-friendly yet flexible

    The Kajabi Support people are helpful, fast and knowledgeable. I usually call in a panic - because I have lost something, messed something or am on a deadline. Sometimes we speak, or we do a chat. Always my angst is eliminated. I often thank the person for being "so patient" with me. LOL

    The other products I have used are not available on TrustRadius. I used ConvertKit before I used these other products because I need an all in one platform.

    ClickFunnels is a great tool for funnel automation, landing pages, and lead generation but when it comes to product delivery for content creators it lacks functionality as it reality it was not meant for that purpose. Originally, we used ClickFunnels for our funnels but we found out that we could do exactly the same with Kajabi, so we migrated all of our funnels to Kajabi

    • When we used Kajabi to launch new programs we achieved the ROI of our monthly investment each time.
    • With Kajabi, the ability to offer old programs that have been offered in the past is easy to present to one-off customers or when not in a launch series.
