Kajabi and WebinarKit at a glance
WebinarKit is our product, so this comparison is written by our team, limited to well established facts about Kajabi.
Kajabi is an all in one platform for knowledge businesses. Creators use it to host online courses, memberships, coaching programs and communities, with websites, landing pages, email and its own checkout for selling those products. Its student experience and polished templates are a big part of its appeal.
WebinarKit handles the selling side of a course business, with live and automated webinars, registration pages, reminders, timed offers, replays, paid access, an AI webinar builder and AI chat responses.
Rather than choosing one, many course creators split the work: Kajabi delivers the product and WebinarKit sells it.

Selling inside the webinar: paid access and checkout
Kajabi sells courses and memberships through its own checkout, which many creators already rely on. We have not verified a paid webinar feature in Kajabi, so check its documentation if you plan to charge for a webinar there.
WebinarKit sells access to the webinar itself. Set the session as paid, collect payment up front, and the buyer gets confirmation and access from the same account. Course creators use this for paid workshops that lead into a flagship course, paid masterclasses and premium replays. During the session, a timed offer can link to the Kajabi checkout for the course, so the webinar ticket and the course sale each live where they work best. See our paid vs free webinars guide.
What Kajabi does for course creators
Kajabi gives knowledge businesses a home for their products. Courses are organized into modules and lessons, memberships gate content behind a subscription, coaching products handle sessions with clients, and communities give students a place to talk. Websites, landing pages, email broadcasts and Kajabi's checkout round out the platform, so a creator can run the whole delivery side without stitching tools together.
Why course creators add a webinar platform
Building a great course and selling it are different skills. A sales page can work for warm audiences, but for higher priced programs, buyers often want to see the teacher, learn something useful first and get their questions answered. A webinar does all three. WebinarKit is built for that job, with automated sessions that run every day, just-in-time sessions that start soon after registration, timed offers that appear when the pitch lands, and email and SMS follow up for people who did not buy.
A typical Kajabi and WebinarKit funnel
- Traffic reaches a WebinarKit registration page, or a WebinarKit form embedded on your Kajabi site.
- Email and SMS reminders and calendar invites bring registrants back.
- An automated or live webinar teaches and demonstrates the course.
- A timed offer links to the Kajabi checkout for the course.
- Buyers enroll in Kajabi and start learning.
- Non buyers receive WebinarKit follow up and a replay page.
Connecting the two
The simplest link is the timed offer pointing to your Kajabi checkout. For more automation, WebinarKit's Zapier and Pabbly integrations or public API can pass registrant and attendee data onward, for example to tag webinar viewers in your email platform. Check Kajabi's documentation for the integrations it supports today.
When creators use one or both
- Kajabi alone suits creators selling mainly through content and email to an audience that already trusts them.
- WebinarKit alone suits coaches and consultants who sell services or paid workshops and do not need a course library.
- Both together suit course creators who want webinars selling around the clock and a polished student experience after purchase.
Where Kajabi fits
Kajabi fits course creators, coaches and membership owners who want courses, memberships, coaching, community, website and checkout for their products in one platform, with a polished student experience.
Where WebinarKit fits
WebinarKit fits creators who want webinars to do the selling, with evergreen and live formats, timed offers, paid webinar access and AI tools, sending buyers to wherever the course is delivered.
AI tools compared with Kajabi
Kajabi offers AI features aimed at creating products and marketing. WebinarKit's AI is aimed at the sales webinar: the AI webinar builder writes the script and slides from your course page or a short description, AI avatar presentations are optional, and AI chat responses answer prospect questions about the course during the session. See our AI webinar tools guide.
Formats beyond Kajabi
For a Kajabi course, WebinarKit can run a daily automated presentation, a just-in-time session, an instant watch page or a multi-day challenge, plus live launches through WebinarKit Live, with replay pages and reminders included.
Pricing model
WebinarKit plans include unlimited funnels, registrants and attendees with no per attendee fees, so a growing webinar audience for your course does not change the plan. Kajabi's plans are on its own pricing page.
