Kajabi offers an impressive interface. Though it may take creators some time to learn how to build a course on Kajabi, most of the necessary course builder tools exist.
Thinkific offers a course builder designed for course creators. It’s simple and gives creators the ability to build their entire course without a big learning curve. Simply put, we offer a design and build experience that is approachable for everyone.
A great learning experience is vital to your success as a course creator. It will help your students learn more effectively and make them want to share it with their friends — helping you grow your business.
Kajabi offers a modern learning experience for students. A clean design gives courses that are both engaging and exciting.
Thinkific offers an unmatched suite of functionality that extends beyond how the course looks. These features help turn a student’s experience from exciting to extraordinary.
After publishing your course, you need to get it in front of the right audience. Sales and marketing tools enable creators to gain visibility and earn revenue.
Kajabi has helpful native sales and marketing features such as email marketing and pipelines. These options are great for creators looking to get started fast and stay on one tool; but if you want more, you may find your options limited.
Thinkific offers sales and marketing features to enable any course creator to get started. With 90+ integrations in the Thinkific App Store; use the best tools in the business for marketing and email automation, increasing sales, and enhancing the learning experience through gamification.

It’s important to choose a course platform that you can trust. Getting the answers to your questions should be easy and your data should be secure.
Both Thinkific and Kajabi offer a network of experts, a growing community of peers, and a responsive Support team. As you grow, and your learning platform becomes mission-critical, Thinkific offers more security and support options to ensure your success.
A course platform is a big investment. Not only do you want a tool that fits your budget, but it should also satisfy your needs now and into the future.
