Kajabi means “to take flight.” But it’s always crashing

Pricing plans: Sherpo wins the dogfight

Let’s compare the costs between Sherpo and Kajabi.

Here’s Sherpo's pricing:

And here’s Kajabi's pricing:

While Kajabi boasts zero transaction fees, Sherpo’s 1% to 5% fee is offset by the fact that Sherpo Start is completely free. This makes Sherpo perfect for creators just starting or those looking to maximize profits without the burden of steep subscription costs.

Also, keep in mind they recurringly try to push their Creator or Pro plan alone, for a trial of $99/month for 3 months. Naturally, their goal is to lock you in their highest priced plan, which is $399/month. That's what you would pay for $8,000 of course sales a month on Sherpo's free plan. While on Ultra, you pay $79/month and keep all for yourself, while getting better support, and a more modern AI-first platform.

Product and customer limits: Unlimited freedom with Sherpo

Kajabi's Growth plan allows up to 15 products and 10,000 active customers. While these limits might seem sufficient initially, scaling businesses can quickly outgrow them. In contrast, Sherpo Flex offers unlimited products and customers, ensuring your growth isn’t constrained.

Branding and customization: Full control with Sherpo

Sherpo empowers creators with complete white-labeling starting from Pro Plan giving full control over branding and content design. On the free Start plan, creators already get a custom video player with their colors, which helps elevate the viewer experience and differentiate their content.

While Kajabi Growth offers custom branding, it lacks a custom video player, limiting creators who want a uniquely branded experience.

AI-powered tools: The future of content creation

Sherpo’s AI-powered tools are game-changing. From AI-generated captions, transcripts, translations, and voiceovers to data-driven insights, Sherpo simplifies content creation and management.

Kajabi, on the other hand, offers basic AI tools, primarily for marketing. Sherpo’s robust AI features provide far more value.

Custom domains and affiliate marketing: Sherpo’s flexibility shines

Both platforms support custom domains and affiliate marketing, but Sherpo stands out by offering free affiliate marketing on its entry-level Start plan, and linking a custom domain is possible from Pro plan or higher. Kajabi requires higher-tier and much more expensive plans for similar functionality.

Advanced video tools: Sherpo elevates content

Sherpo’s custom video player and AI-driven tools create a seamless, differentiated experience for viewers. Features like automated captions and transcripts enhance content accessibility and engagement, especially for course creators.

Kajabi doesn’t include a custom video player, limiting its appeal for creators prioritizing premium video experiences.
