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.

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.
