Hiveality vs Kajabi.
Kajabi is best known for online courses and memberships. But practitioners are switching to Hiveality for a more polished course experience, plus everything else a practice runs on: your website, funnels, booking, email, community, and store in one place, with AI you can run from Claude, ChatGPT, and your other tools.
Loved by health and wellness practitioners building their practice on Hiveality.
Why trust this comparison
We have actually run client businesses on Kajabi.
This is not a research roundup. We came up as a done-for-you agency, building pages, funnels, and courses for clients on Kajabi, and we recommended it before Hiveality existed. More recently, we have helped a steady stream of practitioners migrate off it.
What we kept running into: a templated page builder too rigid for the marketing sites and funnels our clients needed, funnel and checkout options that boxed in our campaigns, and a course builder that was strict and slow, with every module built by hand. Newer tools often felt bolted on over time, which added confusion instead of taking it away.
That firsthand experience is a big part of why we built Hiveality: a free-form builder, and AI that can draft an entire course or funnel for you, the kind of thing that would have saved us countless agency hours.

The short version
Which one is right for you?
Choose Hiveality if
You run a health or wellness practice and want one platform for your website, booking, courses, email, funnels, store, and community, and you want to build and run it from your favorite AI tools.
Choose Kajabi if
You are almost entirely selling online courses to a broad, non-practitioner audience, you are happy with a theme-based setup, and you do not need multi-service practice booking.

Pricing
What it actually costs to run a practice.
Sticker price is only part of the story. Here is how the two compare once you add the tools a practice actually needs.
Hiveality
One plan with everything a practice runs on, and 0% platform transaction fees.
- Booking, CRM, store, courses, and community included, not add-ons.
- 0% Hiveality transaction fees on every plan.
- Free migration from our team on yearly plans, valued at $1,500.
- Build and run it from your AI tools over MCP.
Kajabi
Premium creator tiers, and a practice still adds the rest around it.
- Booking is coaching-oriented, and physical product sales need a separate store.
- Roughly 0.5 to 2% surcharge if you keep your own Stripe.
- Contact caps and seat limits often force a jump to a higher tier.
- Migration is self-serve, with no first-party done-for-you help.
| Plans and value | Hiveality | Kajabi |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price (billed yearly) | $99/month | Around $143/month (Basic, mid-2026) |
| Platform transaction fees | 0% on every plan | 0% with Kajabi Payments; roughly 0.5 to 2% on your own Stripe |
| Physical product store | Included | Not native; typically a separate store like Shopify |
| Practice booking | Native, multi-practitioner | Coaching-oriented scheduler |
| Migration help | Free on yearly, valued at $1,500 | Self-serve only |
| Everything in one plan | Yes, one subscription | Core is strong; practice extras added elsewhere |

Kajabi pricing shown is directional, from publicly listed plans as of mid-2026 (Basic around $143/month billed yearly, up to around $399/month for Pro); check kajabi.com for current figures. A practice on Kajabi also tends to pay for a separate store for physical products, and a roughly 0.5 to 2% surcharge if it keeps its own Stripe. Hiveality figures reflect our published plans; see the Get Started page for current pricing.
Known for courses. The rest is on you.
Booking built for coaches, not practices
Kajabi has a native scheduler, but it is coaching-oriented: tied to coaching products and a single availability schedule, not the multi-service, multi-practitioner booking a busy practice runs on.
You still assemble the stack
Its site builder is theme-bound, its store is built for digital offers rather than physical products, and its CRM is contact-and-tag light, so a free-form site, real product sales, and a fuller CRM push you toward other tools.
AI that stops at the edges
Kajabi added AI and an MCP server, but they draft within Kajabi and leave out analytics, community, and payments, on a platform that was not built AI-first around a whole practice.
Premium pricing for a creator toolset
You pay creator-platform prices whether or not you use every part, on a product built for course sellers rather than practitioners.
Known for courses is not the same as best for courses. On Hiveality you get a more polished course experience, plus the booking, website, and marketing tools to run the rest of the practice.
Courses, memberships, community
The course experience practitioners are switching to.
Kajabi built its name on online courses, and it is a capable platform. But we have moved practitioners over from Kajabi who found its course setup rigid and its options limited. Hiveality gives you a more polished, more flexible course and membership experience, with a built-in community, in the same workspace your clients book and pay in.
- A polished course builder with flexible modules, lessons, drip, and access rules.
- Memberships and a built-in community, not a separate add-on.
- Every course sits on the same client record as bookings, purchases, and email.
Beyond courses
A free-form website and a real store.
Kajabi has a website, funnels, and a checkout, and its funnels are genuinely capable. But its site builder is theme-bound, and its store is built for digital offers, not a real product catalog. On Hiveality your drag-and-drop website, funnels, and full store are core to the platform, so a free-form site and real product sales are never the compromise.
- A full drag-and-drop website builder, not a fixed set of themes.
- Multi-step funnels with pages, quizzes, booking, and checkout built in.
- A store for physical and digital products, packages, and tickets.
AI-first, end to end
AI that runs the whole practice, not just parts of it.
Both Hiveality and Kajabi let you work over MCP from Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI tools, so this is not about who has it. It is about how far it goes. The Kajabi MCP drafts pages, emails, offers, and courses, but leaves out analytics, community, and payments. Hiveality was built AI-first, so Agent Bee and MCP reach across nearly the whole platform, from building funnels and emails to managing reviews, and more of your practice actually runs from the tools you already work in.
- Work over MCP from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, and more.
- Reaches across the platform, including analytics, community, and reviews the Kajabi MCP leaves out.
- Agent Bee plans, drafts, and builds pages, funnels, emails, and automations inside the app.
Built for wellness
Appointments, not just offers.
Kajabi added a scheduler, but it is coaching-oriented: tied to coaching products, one availability schedule, no multi-practitioner staffing. A practice runs on real booking. Hiveality has native appointments with staff availability, reminders, and rebooking, all tied to the same contact record as your programs and email.
- Native online booking and rebooking with automated reminders.
- Staff availability and multi-practitioner scheduling.
- Every appointment lands on the same client record as their courses and purchases.
Straight talk
Who should actually pick Kajabi.
If your business is almost entirely selling online courses to a broad, non-practitioner audience, you are happy with a theme-based setup, and you do not need multi-service practice booking, Kajabi can be a reasonable fit. For a wellness practice, Hiveality is the stronger choice: a more polished course experience, plus full practice booking, a more flexible website, a real store, and AI that reaches across the whole platform.

Questions, answered
Common questions from practitioners
Is Hiveality a good Kajabi alternative?
Yes, especially for health and wellness practitioners. Kajabi is well known for online courses, but many practitioners find its course setup rigid and switch to Hiveality for a more polished, flexible experience, plus native booking, a full website builder, funnels, a store, events, and AI you can build with, all in one platform built for practices.
Can I move my Kajabi courses and members to Hiveality?
Yes. Agent Bee drafts your new Hiveality setup from a short description, and wherever our systems cannot reach, our human team is here to support you and help bring your courses, community, products, and pages across. Yearly plans include free migration, so you are not doing it alone.
Does Hiveality do memberships and communities like Kajabi?
Yes. Hiveality has a full course and membership builder and a private community space, in the same workspace where clients book and pay, so a membership is part of the practice rather than a separate tool.
What does Hiveality do better than Kajabi for a practice?
A few things stand out for a practice: full multi-service, multi-practitioner booking, since the Kajabi scheduler is coaching-oriented, plus a free-form website builder and a real product store, and AI over MCP that reaches across the whole platform, including analytics, community, and reviews that the Kajabi MCP leaves out. Hiveality is also built specifically for health and wellness.
Is Hiveality cheaper than Kajabi?
Pricing depends on your plan, but Hiveality puts the whole toolset in one wellness-priced plan instead of premium creator tiers plus the separate booking and website tools a practice ends up buying alongside a course platform. See current pricing on the Get Started page.
Should I choose Kajabi or Hiveality?
If you are almost entirely selling online courses to a broad audience and do not need booking, Kajabi can be a reasonable fit. If you run a wellness practice where a polished course experience, booking, a real website, funnels, and AI you can build with matter together, Hiveality is the stronger choice.
Upgrade your courses. Run your whole practice in one place.
Move your programs and members to a more polished course platform that also handles your booking, website, funnels, store, and follow-up, and that you can build and run from your favorite AI tools. Our team helps you make the move, free on yearly plans.
