Kajabi vs. Systeme.io vs. Teachable

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.

I can NEVER recommend Systeme.io. I paid in full for 1 year in January hoping I can have my funnels and my blog transferred by the end of the month. After all, they claimed in their website that on average, migrations takes 17 days. BUT No! Today, on September 10th, my migration is still not complete! My content is not transferred, I'm unable to use the service. I asked for a refund in the beginning of September, because over 9 months later they have not completed the job, preventing me to use the service properly. They said no and kept my money. You would think that at least hurry up to complete the migration faster and not frustrate the customer further? NO! My content is still not transferred (Sep 10) And their excuse for the delay: it's my fault! From May 17th to Jul 10 I did not reply to their last email (which contained no questions btw), so they canceled the migration. Why the transfer was not complete from January to May 17? Why they did not finish it from Jul 14 to September 10th? They don't like to talk about that. It is my fault and they don't take responsibility

Gets the job done and is easy to use. We've definitely made serious revenue with it, and it's worked well enough with our other systems to enable some handy automations. I'd say if you've got a course or courses you're looking to launch and they are fairly straightforward with up-front payments, Teachable can definitely get the job done. However, if you're running more of a membership model for access to your courses, Teachable by itself may not be the ideal solution, or you may want to use a different platform for the payments and just use Teachable for the actual courses.

• Kajabi's community feature is fantastic. Love the ability for people to be able to collaborate.
• 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.

• Hosting video-based training
• Receiving and passing on payments and handling the slaes tax
• Allowing me to work with affiliates

• 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

• They FALSELY ADVERTISE their services.
• They kicked us off their "unlimited" plan b/c we were using serving too many downloads?
• They were terribly rude, cursing at us, threatening us, deleting our forum questions.
• They have no unlimited plan and need to be sued in a court of law for their misleadings.

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

Incentivized

Because we haven't had any major issues with it. The platform is really simple to use and the content can be uploaded and modified very easily. It has a drag and drop feature that makes everything fast and easy. Their support has always answered our questions or concerns and the cost is affodable. We will keep using it in the future.

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

Incentivized

I found that plenty of features were missing and I had to make plenty of compromises. Building Funnels was easy and intuitive. Blog articles and Emails - were a nightmare to handle. Basic functionalities were missing.

Because it's easier to use both as administrators and both as user. We have never heard of any users having issues login in or going through the lectures or completing the course

Incentivized

We haven't had any issues, it's always available. Even when they schedule a maintanance on their end, students still can access the courses

Incentivized

Never had any issues with pages or videos not loading

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

Their support is good overal. There are a couple of things that I would change, like answering faster. Sometimes they take a day to answer a concern and that's kind of annoying considering sometimes there are urgent issues we have to deal with. But the support has been good, they have answered properly.

These platforms are big complex pieces of software. Mor recently - Kajabi provides a done for you example which you can borrow and customise - but those were not available when we started.

I'd say: learn the system first, try it out and then publish the content with customers. There are a couple of features that will cause issues with customers (especially lazy ones) but I'd say it's easy to implement and modify if needed. People don't need to train much to use Teachable, but they should take their time to know it.

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

Incentivized

It's honestly just worked really well for us in terms of serving the actual course content. Plus, our customers can maintain one profile and use that to access all of the courses and bonuses that they've acquired from us. And the cost of Teachable has been very reasonable in terms of our budget.

We wouldn't change anything. Everything seemed fine when we purchased

Incentivized

We haven't had any issues with it. Their maintanance hours are always at times when we don't have students there, and even then, they still can access the platform

Incentivized

All the implementation process was fast and easy.

• 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.

• This is the basis of my business.
