Common questions
Does Kajabi work with Kit?
Barely. Kajabi can add buyers to a Kit form. Tags need Zapier, and Kajabi sends no course progress. Letting a Kit tag give access needs Zapier or webhooks, on Kajabi's Growth plan ($249 a month).
Why does Kajabi cost so much more?
It does more jobs, including Kit's. If you'd use all of them, the price can make sense. If Kit already does your email, you'd be paying for it twice.
Do both connect to an AI assistant?
Yes. Kajabi's works on every plan, from $179 a month. Cedarras's is on Creator Pro, at $59 a month.
