Dónde fallan los proyectos

You're on Teachable's Basic plan paying 5% transaction fees and didn't even notice That's potentially hundreds of dollars a month quietly disappearing on a plan that looked cheap when you signed up.
Kajabi's all-in-one marketing suite sounds great on paper—until you realize you just need somewhere to host a course Suddenly you're paying $200+/mo for email tools and funnel builders you've never once opened.
You launched your course, then discovered the community features couldn't keep students engaged They drifted to competitors, and now you're rebuilding from zero.
Neither platform gives you real design control over landing pages Your brand ends up looking exactly like everyone else's on the same template.
Teachable's native email is thin Kajabi's is better but locks you in. Either way, most creators end up paying for ConvertKit or Mailchimp on top—wiping out whatever cost advantage they thought they had.
Switching platforms means re-uploading every video and rebuilding every page by hand We're talking weeks of work, broken student access, and revenue on hold while you sort out the mess.

Cumplimiento

Course Builder UX

Teachable uses a drip-content editor built around the curriculum first—clean, focused, no distractions. Kajabi goes more visual with a pipeline builder that weaves marketing automation directly into the course flow. Different philosophies, honestly.

Pricing & Transaction Fees

Teachable Basic starts at $39/mo but takes a 5% cut of every sale. Pro at $119/mo drops that fee entirely. Kajabi starts at $69/mo with zero transaction fees across all plans, but the pricing escalates quickly—$319/mo for Growth, $399/mo for Pro. It's not a small jump.

Community & Engagement

Kajabi now has native community spaces with discussion threads and challenges built in. Teachable added community features too, but they're newer and thinner. Most creators still end up tacking on Circle or Discord.

Email Marketing & Automations

Kajabi comes with a full email suite—sequences, broadcasts, tagging, the works. Teachable's email handles basic student notifications and not much else. If you're running real campaigns, you'll need an external tool either way.

Affiliate Program Management

Both platforms support affiliate programs natively. Teachable's affiliate dashboard gets the job done, but it's pretty bare. Kajabi's affiliate tools connect tighter to its funnel and email system, so commission tracking largely runs itself.

Analytics & Reporting

Kajabi consolidates revenue dashboards, funnel analytics, and email metrics in one place. Teachable handles course completions and revenue reporting well, but there's no funnel-level visibility without bolting on third-party tools.

Qué construimos

Mobile App Experience

Kajabi offers a branded mobile app on higher-tier plans. Teachable gives students a generic iOS app with limited customization—functional, but not exactly owning the experience.

Landing Page Builder

Kajabi's page builder is drag-and-drop with countdown timers, testimonial blocks, and checkout embeds built right in. Teachable's pages are simpler and more template-bound—easier to use, but harder to customize.

Integration Ecosystem

Teachable connects through Zapier without much friction and has a solid API. Kajabi has fewer native integrations, but when the built-in tools cover the use case, you don't need them as often.

Checkout & Upsell Flows

Kajabi handles one-click upsells, order bumps, and coupon codes natively. Teachable covers coupons and basic order bumps, but only on the Pro plan.

Multi-Product Support

Both support courses, coaching, memberships, and digital downloads. Kajabi throws in podcasting. Teachable stays in its lane and focuses on course delivery.

Migration Paths

Neither platform makes leaving easy—we build custom migration pipelines that move your students, content, and full purchase history to whatever comes next, whether that's a new platform or a custom build.

Preguntas frecuentes

¿Vale la pena Kajabi por su precio más alto en comparación con Teachable?

Realmente depende de lo que ya estarías pagando por separado. Si necesitas marketing por email, landing pages y herramientas comunitarias, Kajabi agrupa los tres a $69–$399/mes sin comisiones de transacción. Si ya tienes ConvertKit o Mailchimp y solo necesitas alojamiento de cursos, Teachable Pro a $119/mes suele ser más barato una vez que sumas todo. Calcula los números de tu stack completo, no solo la línea de la plataforma.

¿Sigue Teachable cobrando comisiones de transacción en 2026?

Sí, y sorprende a la gente. En el plan Basic ($39/mes), Teachable toma el 5% de cada venta. El plan Pro ($119/mes) y el plan Pro+ ($199/mes) eliminan esa comisión completamente. Si estás haciendo más de $2,400/mes en ingresos, actualizar a Pro se paga solo. Consulta la página de precios oficial de Teachable para tarifas actuales: estos números reflejan datos de principios de 2026.

¿Puedo migrar mis cursos de Teachable a Kajabi o viceversa?

Ninguna plataforma tiene una opción de migración de un clic. Estás viendo re-cargar manualmente videos, reconstruir horarios de goteo y reinvitar a cada estudiante. El historial de compras y los datos de finalización no se transfieren solos. Construimos canales de migración automatizados que mueven contenido, registros de inscripción y continuidad de suscripción Stripe para que los estudiantes no noten nada diferente.

¿Cuál plataforma tiene mejores características comunitarias?

Las características comunitarias de Kajabi son más maduras: desafíos, hilos de discusión y perfiles de miembros todo dentro de la plataforma. Teachable agregó comunidad más recientemente y funciona, pero es limitado. La mayoría de los creadores serios de Teachable aún lo emparejan con Circle, Skool o Discord para verdadero compromiso. Si la comunidad nativa te importa, Kajabi gana en esta categoría.

¿Debería construir una plataforma de cursos personalizada en lugar de usar Teachable o Kajabi?

Si estás sacando $20K+/mes de cursos, una compilación personalizada en Next.js con Mux para video y Stripe para pagos elimina las comisiones mensuales de la plataforma completamente. Eres dueño de tus datos, controlas la UX y no estás atado a las decisiones de producto de ningún proveedor. El costo inicial es real, pero la economía a largo plazo tiene mucho más sentido en ese nivel de ingresos.

¿Cómo se comparan Teachable y Kajabi en el diseño de landing pages?

El constructor de páginas de Kajabi es de arrastrar y soltar con temporizadores de cuenta regresiva, bloques de testimonios e incrustaciones de pago nativo: honestamente cercano a un Unbounce ligero. El constructor de Teachable está más limitado por plantillas con menos opciones de diseño. Si las landing pages enfocadas en conversión te importan y prefieres no pagar una herramienta separada, Kajabi es la opción más fuerte lista para usar.

¿Es Teachable mejor que Kajabi?

Al comparar Teachable y Kajabi, la elección depende en gran medida de tus necesidades y prioridades específicas. Teachable destaca en creación de cursos con una interfaz directa y es generalmente más económico para quienes se enfoca principalmente en contenido educativo. Kajabi, por otro lado, ofrece una plataforma todo en uno que incluye herramientas de marketing, alojamiento web y automatización de email, lo que la hace ideal para quienes buscan una solución empresarial integral. A partir de 2026, si estás principalmente interesado en características robustas de marketing y un enfoque integrado, Kajabi podría ser mejor. Para pura creación de cursos, Teachable podría ser preferible.

¿Teachable ya no es gratuita?

Por ahora, Teachable ya no ofrece un plan gratuito. Previamente, los usuarios podían comenzar con un nivel gratuito, pero los cambios en su estructura de precios han eliminado esta opción. En su lugar, Teachable ahora comienza con un plan Basic, que requiere una tarifa de suscripción. Este cambio podría influir en los usuarios que recién comienzan y buscan un punto de entrada sin costo, mientras que Kajabi siempre ha sido un servicio premium sin versión gratuita, posicionándose como una plataforma empresarial todo en uno.
