Kajabi gates contact counts, transaction-fee discounts, and team seats behind plan upgrades. TribeNest is flat $29 a month with no contact cap, 0 percent transaction fee, and unlimited products from day one.
Kajabi is good at courses. The price ladder and the missing tools are why people switch.
Basic is $179 a month and caps you at 2,500 contacts. Cross 2,500 active members and Kajabi pushes you to Growth at $249, then Pro at $499. The cost ladder is steep before you even sell your first course.
Kajabi charges 2.9 percent on Basic, 2.8 percent on Growth, 2.7 percent on Pro, on top of Stripe's standard 2.9 percent plus 30 cents processing. On a $10,000 month, that is roughly $290 a month gone before margin.
No native live streaming, no event ticketing, no print-on-demand merch, no smart link page, limited cross-platform automation. Real creator businesses bolt on Streamyard, Eventbrite, Printful, and Linktree, then pay $179 plus four more bills.
Kajabi gives you a course builder and walks away. Mira watches every student through every lesson, flags where they're dropping, finds the upsell moments that convert, and tells you exactly what to fix this week.
Mira diffs enrollment, completion rate, and revenue per student — and ties each shift back to a lesson, an email, or an upsell change.
Talk to her like a senior course-success analyst. She knows enrollment funnels, lesson completion rates, and what's actually getting students to finish.
Refund-risk students, lesson drop-offs that are getting worse, upsells that just started converting, and onboarding emails that bounce.
She works backwards from the goal, finds the levers that move it, and queues the lesson edits, emails, and upsells that compound.

What every Kajabi creator wants to know before switching.

Kajabi Basic is $179 a month with a 2,500-contact cap and a 2.9% transaction fee. TribeNest is $29 a month with unlimited contacts and a 0% transaction fee. On a list of 5,000 with $5,000 a month in sales, you save roughly $295 a month from price plus fees.
Yes. Export your courses as ZIP from Kajabi (videos, modules, lessons) and import as a course bundle in TribeNest. Export your contact list as CSV with tags and tiers, import in one click. Most creators migrate in a few hours.
TribeNest takes 0 percent. Stripe charges its standard processing rate (about 2.9% plus 30 cents) paid to Stripe, not to us. Kajabi adds another 2.9 percent on top of Stripe on Basic. That extra 2.9% is what disappears.
Full access to courses, memberships, email, store, streaming, ticketing, smart links, social scheduling, and DM automation. We ask for a card to verify your account. You won't be charged until day 15, and you can cancel any time before then.
She watches every student through every lesson. Mira tracks completion rates per lesson, finds where students drop, identifies upsells that are starting to convert, and flags refund-risk students before they cancel. She drafts the fixes, the recovery emails, and the lesson edits. You approve. Kajabi gives you a course builder. Mira gives you a coach who actually reads the data.
No. Mira proposes — you approve. She drafts re-engagement emails, suggests lesson edits, and queues upsell offers, but nothing sends or publishes until you tap approve. You can also auto-approve specific actions (like checkpoint reminders) once you trust her.
Move your Kajabi courses, members, and contacts onto a flat $29 plan with 0% transaction fees and no contact cap. Get Mira watching every student through every lesson, plus streaming, ticketing, and smart links in the same move.
