Sherpo's 99% uptime means less lost business.
Sherpo offers better features than Kajabi's $199/month plans even on its free Sherpo Flex plan!
TL;DR
If you're a content creator trying to monetize your digital content, you've likely heard of Kajabi. It's a popular platform offering tools for course creators, but what if there was a better, more cost-effective option? Enter Sherpo. While Kajabi's plans, such as the Growth plan, seem appealing at first glance, Sherpo Flex alone offers similar—if not superior—features, without the hefty price tag.
In this post, we'll explore why Sherpo is the smarter choice for serious content creators looking to build and scale their digital businesses, from the sale of courses to blogs, digital downloads, and much more. With advanced customization, AI-driven tools, and better pricing, Sherpo is setting a new standard.
Let’s start by comparing the costs between Sherpo and Kajabi.
Here’s Sherpo's pricing:
| Sherpo | Flex | Plus | Ultra | One |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | Free | $20/month | $45/month | Custom |
| Annual | Free | $15/month | $30/month | Custom |
| Fee | 5% | 4.5% | 4% | 0% |
And here’s Kajabi's pricing:
| Kajabi | Kickstarter | Basic | Growth | Pro |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | $69/month | $149/month | $199/month | $399/month |
| Annual | $55/month | $119/month | $159/month | $319/month |
At first glance, Kajabi may seem appealing due to the lack of transaction fees. However, Sherpo’s 5% transaction fee is offset by the fact that Sherpo Flex is completely free—no monthly or annual charges whatsoever. This makes Sherpo ideal for creators just getting started or those looking to maximize profits while reducing uncertainty, without committing to steep subscription costs.
Kajabi's Growth plan allows you to create 15 products and have up to 10,000 active customers. While that may sound sufficient, for businesses scaling quickly, these limits can become restrictive. In contrast, Sherpo Flex offers unlimited paid products and customers, ensuring that your growth is never constrained by arbitrary caps.
Not convinced yet? Then, let’s see why Sherpo is the clear winner in this dogfight.
Sherpo enables you to fully white-label your platform, giving you complete control over the branding and design of your content, for free. You can even use your own custom video player, providing a polished and professional experience for your audience.
Kajabi Growth offers custom branding, but you won’t get a custom video player. For creators who want a platform that feels uniquely theirs, Sherpo provides far more freedom and customization.
Sherpo leads the way with its AI-powered tools that streamline content creation. From AI-generated captions, transcripts, summaries, translations, voiceovers, and images to advanced AI-driven analytics, Sherpo helps creators automate time-consuming tasks, allowing them to focus on strategy and content creation.
Kajabi offers basic AI tools to enhance your marketing efforts, but it doesn’t provide the robust content creation AI features that Sherpo does. And with Sherpo’s pay-as-you-go AI pricing, you can opt to pay for the AI features you actually use, making it more affordable.
Both Kajabi and Sherpo offer support for custom domains and affiliate marketing. However, Sherpo provides a free custom domain even on its entry-level Flex plan, while Kajabi requires higher-tier plans for additional flexibility.
Sherpo’s custom video player stands out as a major advantage. It lets creators tailor the viewing experience to their audience, offering features like branded controls and specific functionality that align with course content, as well as AI-generated captions, transcripts (useful to create quizzes) and much more. For video-driven businesses, this feature is essential.
Kajabi doesn’t offer a custom video player, which is very limiting. For creators who prioritize a premium video experience, Sherpo’s video player is truly a game-changer.
