Best Kajabi alternatives for coaches (2026)
Seven platforms that do 80% of what Kajabi does for a third of the price. We ran the numbers at $0, $1K and $5K monthly revenue.

Kit vs beehiiv for coaches: which email tool to pick
beehiiv is built for newsletters. Kit is built for selling. If you sell 1-to-1 or a program, that difference decides it.

Best scheduling software for coaches (with payments)
Eight tools ranked on one job: getting a client booked and paid in one step. Free plans included.
Prices checked 1 Nov 2026Four rules behind every verdict
We price the whole stack
Not one tool in isolation. A "cheap" course platform that forces a separate email tool is not cheap.
We test two coach scenarios
The solo 1-to-1 coach with 20 clients, and the group-program coach with 200. They need different tools.
We say where the loser wins
Every comparison names the situations where the other tool is the better buy. That is how you trust the rest.
We re-check when prices move
Several of these tools changed price in 2026 alone. Every guide shows the date we last verified it.
What changed this month
Price moves, new features and shutdowns that affect coaches. Short, no fluff, with what to do about it.
All updatesKajabi retires the Kickstarter plan; entry price is now $143/mo
Existing Kickstarter users keep their rate for now. New coaches should compare Thinkific and Podia before signing.
Thinkific Basic is now $40/mo yearly, $54 monthly
Still the best value for a single course. Lock in annual billing if you are sure.
Teachable no longer has a free plan
Starter is now the floor. Watch the 7.5% transaction fee once you pass $1,000 a month.
Cal.com's free plan takes payments; Calendly's doesn't
A real alternative for coaches who want to charge at booking without a paid plan.
I have sat on the other side of these pricing pages
I'm Amanat. For six years I've run growth and product strategy for software companies and 175+ brands. I've watched how SaaS pricing is designed, where the fees hide, and which features coaches actually use. This site is the guide I wish my coaching clients had when they asked me "which one should I get?"
