Danie, you seem real and authentic, and this was extremely authentic. You gained a sub, and thank you
Nicely done, Danie Jay. So helpful. You're a winner! Subscribed.
Thank you so much for the kind words! Happy course creating!
Very extensive and helpful. Thank you for doing all the hard work and heavy lifting in researching this all!
Thank you for the kind words! I hope it's helpful! Did you make a decision on what platform you're going to go with?!
That was so comprehensive and helpful! You did a great job of sifting through the (too) many options. I was feeling overwhelmed. Now it’s narrowed down to 3. Appreciate the download as well 💯Thank you so much.
This comment made my day! Seriously thank you for taking the time to let me know! I’m so glad it was helpful!
Wow, that was extremely useful and thorough! Love your attention to detail! :)
Thank you so much! I hope that it was helpful to you!
Thanks a lot for sharing all this. I can only imagine how much time and effort it has taken you to prepare something like this!
Thank you so much for the kind comment! I hope it was helpful. Just a little bit of time... 😂
Awesome video thank you for such good resurch 👍
Thank you so much for the kind words! I hope it helps you on your course software buying journey!!
Super helpful! Thank you!
Ps. Your videos look great! Do you use P Pro/AfterEffects for your graphics? Or something like Canva? Thanks!
So glad to hear it! My editor uses Adobe PP!
Amazing Video, incredibly detailed, this must've taken you a long time to make. Thank you for helping us by making this. I love the Comparison graph, that's right up my street.. What are your thoughts on Kartra, Membervault, Thinkific and Skool?
Thank you so much for the kind words! I think Thinkific is overrated for the cost and what is offered. Skool doesn't offer email marketing. While I don't have experience with Kartra, I know people who use it and love it. Membevault is better for memberships, so I think a more holistic platform is generally a better bang for your buck.
WOW Danie, this was so incredibly helpful. I really loved how in depth you went and that absolutely made me trust your judgement. AMAZING, thanks for your effort.
@DanieJay do you think the AI. feature of Learn Worlds is as good for email marketing as it is in Kajabi? Thank you :)
Thank you so much for this kind comment! I am so glad to hear it's helpful for you!
@@VanessaNaumann27 Hmm, I don't know for sure but i'd imagine it's comparable. I still love using ChatGPT too in addition...either way you can't go wrong! Also, I love Hypotenuse AI, it's an AI tool that's strictly for copywriting. and it's awesome!
thanks for the video in advance, i just started watching and had a good enough impression to like and comment right away. if i end up using one of your recommendations ill make sure ill get your affiliate link. great!
Thanks so much for the kind comment! I hope the video is helpful!
great video thank you, helped me a lot.. and you sold heights to me tbh
Hi Danie Jay, I have subscribed to your TH-cam channel. Wondering what editing software you recommend. I like your style, so I am getting started with your free brochure. Thank you!

Hey there! So glad to hear it! Thanks for subscribing! I’d recommend Final Cut Pro for apple users or filmora for anyone else. If you’re really into editing adobe premiere pro is the best, but it’s much more complicated.
Is your email list transferable between platforms? For example, if I start with Teachable then move to Kajabi, how easy is it to migrate my email list over? Thank you. Great video. Just subscribed.
Thank you so much for this SUPER comprehensive review. I'm interested in your opinion on Go High Level and Course Creator 360.
Let me do some digging and get back to you on those!
@@DanieJay Thank you so much!
Susy, Course Creator 360 is just a whitelabeled version of GoHighLevel. So it depends on your needs. If you want to make your own whitelabeled version of GHL level to sell as a system like Course Creator 360 did, you would have to get the highest plan of GHL. If you are just using it as your marketing system then, if you like Course Creator 360's rebranded version + their training/marketing, go with them. But in either case it would be using GHL. Hope that makes sense.
^Great content , thanks!
Thank you so much! I hope it’s helpful for you!
It is super detailed and helpful. I will definitely use your affiliate link once I decide which platform to go with.
Oh thank you so much! I am very glad to hear it’s helpful!! Would love to know which platform you end up going with!
@@DanieJay I signed up for Kajabi. (Using your affiliate link, of course.)
Ahh thank you so much! Did you see my email with free access to the Zero to $10K Course Roadmap?! Let me know if you have any questions as you go through the course or Kajabi in general! @@TAHIRAPRODUCTIONS
@@DanieJay Hmmm. No, I did not get your email. 🙁
This is so helpful! I'm curious - what is the difference between the email list on Stan basic vs email marketing on Stan pro? Thanks in advance!!
So glad to hear it! Stan’s basic plan has no email marketing. You can only send emails and crest email funnels with Stan pro.
such a great video thank you :) but i must admit i am now even more confused lol. SO much choice, may have to watch again :)
There’s a lot to consider! You can’t go wrong! You can read my blog for a quick review as well: heydaniejay.com/top-course-blog
Thanks for another Amazing video! 👏🏼
With your experience and knowledge, in your opinion, what is the best method to use to start receiving payments for my new business? Stripe? Venmo? Plaid? Melio? Square? Gusto? Wise? Thanks in advance for your reply.
Hey! What are you selling? What software are you selling it on? I think I would pick the payment processor depending on those factors. If you give me more insight, I can make a recommendation ☺️
Trying to figure out how to do live content, or webinars, that are fully private for paying students only. Can’t really link to livestreams on youtube, because those links can be shared. But can’t really find clear info on this subject. Still searching around. Love this linear explanation. Thank you for the vid!
I know for sure you can do live content with webinars for only paying students on Kajabi and Uscreen. I believe Podia as well!
@@DanieJay Thanks! Just watched a uScreen video on YT and apparently their prices have at least doubled in just the last year. Crazy. I’m leaning towards it, but we can’t afford to take that kind of financial leap. That’s 6k a year without even knowing if we’ll get income. Scary. bummer. Their app would be great for our patients.
The pricing has increased a lot. You can always start with a cheaper option and then move over to something like Uscreen. Podia may be worth checking into, as they have less expensive plans. @@madnessintomagic
Great comparison. I am thinking about Kajabi myself. Curious about the product limitations. I do a lot of coaching and then have digital downloads for sale. I was concerned about their products so you're saying I could sell my digital downloads without it counting against a product? Also would this still work with services such as editing essays... where just purchasing the service or would this be considered a product?
Exactly! Digital downloads don't count as products. There isn't a limit on how many offers/checkout pages you have...so selling a service with a checkout page would also not count as a product! This has been a huge win for me, because I have alot of check out pages and offers. I hope that helps!
Thank you so much! Do you know where I can learn more in depth step by step how to create a course in Kajabi or Learn World? Thanks!
Yes! Here’s a step by step of how to create a course in Kajabi: How to EASILY Create a Course in Kajabi in 2024 (STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE)

I am using teachable right now and your video was so helpful becuase i was looking at kajabi and thinking i am in the same situation as you were and i need more features for email sequences and funnels. My question is this: did you leave convertkit and use only kajabi? I wasn't sure how it compared to converkit- please let me know!
YES! I 10000% left convertkit and only use Kajabi.
thank you for the fast reply! @@DanieJay
Hi, how effective do you think the e-learning platform 'Skool' is compared to those featured in this video? Thanks!!
Skool doesn’t have email marketing or allow you to setup more intricate funnels like other platforms like Kajabi. If you go with Skool, you’ll still have to pay for a 3rd party email marketing software. However, it could be a good fit if you’re wanting to build a place for your community.
Great walk-through. Thwo things though: 1) LearnWorlds support is terrible. Absolutely terrible. They didn't fix some fatal errors for like six months so I had to change. It LOOKS good. But the technical backend is the worst. 2) Please also consider good CMS which is much more than email marketing. Does the system have an in-build support function? Is it easy to upgrade or downgrade members etc. This can be crucial.
Super helpful to know about learnworlds! Thanks for the tip!
@@DanieJay You're welcome. Btw - you should test these two:
ThriveCart Learn+ - suuuuper simple and extremely cheap (they run a LTD) and works great with ThriveCart as funnel. Three downsides though: Very little/slow development, poor support and not a very good CMS.
Simplero - this is a very overlooked swizz army knife. The learning curve is steep - but you can do soooooooooooo(!) much more than on any other platform. And with some skills you can even make it look good.
What do you think about the community space in Kajabi? That's one of my biggest needs to haves :)
Kajabi recently did a big update. I don’t LOVE their community feature but I also find mighty networks a bit confusing. So if I had to decide between the two, I’d go with Kajabi.
Collecting sales tax and even knowing when/if to collect sales tax seems too complicated for Kajabi. Have you found an easy way? I see they have partnered with someone but even then you still have to register with the states that require it from what I am seeing?
I found the easiest thing for me was to meet with a local tax accountant and understand what online courses and services constituted sales tax. I think Quaderno, who Kajabi partnered with makes it pretty easy, but Teachable also makes it super easy as well. Here's some info - quaderno.io/guides/sales-tax-online-courses/
What would you say has the BEST community feature? I was considering Mighty but their course structure ability is not great...
Honestly, Kajabi's community feature looks almost identical to Mighty Networks! You can't do as many of the cool poll features...but they are super similar. So i'd for sure say Kajabi.
I'm looking for a course platform with a website builder, email list, and marketing. Seems like Kajabi is the one... I'm just getting started but I want to ditch my weebly site and do it all in one place. I want to do digital downloads and courses. My question is do you think that Kajabi's funnels and marketing make up for the higher monthly costs? Thanks!
Hey Aaron! Yes, their funnels are AMAZING. With their Ama AI tool now too, it's crazy easy to set up intricate funnels (that I've found are overwhelming on other platforms). Here's a behind the scenes of their funnels: th-cam.com/video/8WVaKCBhOfk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=uakkwxy3DO3BnqiP&t=1189 Also, the email marketing is solid as well. I haven't missed Convertkit at all. I've been super happy with it.
@@DanieJay thanks I think I got a not let the cost get in my way. Worst case scenario, it’s a write off towards the business.
Yes, it's definitely an investment. It helped me so much in scaling my business in the long-run! @@AaronRashaw
Do you think the $79 per month Learnworlds would be comparable to the Kajabi $119? I’m a newbie but pretty comfortable with AI and learning tech (as long as there is info/video instructions I can find)
Hey! Yes, I think the pro trainer plan on learn worlds is comparable to the $119 plan on Kajabi. I think Learn Worlds is an awesome option if you like tech and there are loads of helpful tutorials!

Ta vidéo est très intéressante. Je cherche une plateforme où je pourrai implémenter un chatbot IA à destination des élèves et tes conseils vont m'aider pour tester différentes plateformes et voir sur laquelle c'est possible. Merci beaucoup pour ton travail, la vidéo est très claire, bien filmée et le contenu est très qualitatif. J'ai liké, commenté et je me suis abonné, bonne continuation.
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Hello :) I use your link to have access to the 1 month free of Kajabi AND your free online course that goes with it but I didn't get acces to your course. How can I have acces to it please? THANKS !!
Hey! It automatically will email you access when you sign up with the link. It may have gone to spam. The heading of the email is: ✨Your Zero to $10K Course Blueprint. If you can't find it that way, let me know (an send your email) and I'll resend it!
Any info on Trainer Central?
No, I'm sorry i'm not familiar with them!
What of Udemy?
I don't recommend Udemy for personal brands. I think it's always better to sell your course on your own platform instead of along with loads of other similar courses. However, if you don't have a social media presence, something like Udemy might be a good option if you are interested in offering lower-cost courses!
And no Thinkific?
Meep...no! 01:08:43

OMG...
I stopped watching just before you said that ...
Sorry...🥴
Haha no worries! I know the video was way longer than i could have ever imagined...I just wanted it to be THOROUGH! 🥳😂
@@bramilan
Skool???
I think Skool could be a good option, but it doesn’t have email marketing, so you’d still have to pay for that. I find the Kajabi interface easier to use than Skools and Kajabi also allows you to setup funnels. However, if you’re more focused on building a community, Skool could be great!
What would you say has the BEST community feature? I was considering Mighty but their course structure ability is not great...
To be honest I think kajabis community feature looks SO SIMILAR to mighty networks and you get a lot more bang for your buck with Kajabi. So that’s what I’d do!
