Kajabi alternative

If you mostly need to sell, you don't need all of Kajabi.

Kajabi is a full business platform: site, courses, community, email. If what you need is a checkout that sells, with your course delivered after, Swipefast does that for $49 a month.

A good fit if
  • You mostly need to sell and deliver, not run everything in one platform
  • You already have a website and an email tool you like
  • $179 a month is more than your business needs right now
Not the right fit if
  • You want website, email, community, podcasts and your own app in one place. Kajabi is built for that
