Kinglify vs Kajabi
Kajabi is a course-and-funnel platform for a solo creator. Kinglify covers the same ground for people who also run an organisation — a school, an association, a ministry, a coaching business with real members — where courses are one part of the picture rather than the whole of it.
Kajabi is built around one creator selling offers. Kinglify is built around an organisation with members, events, giving and a team.
What only Kinglify does
Not a longer feature list — a different shape. These are the things that stop being true the moment you split your organisation across separate tools.
Your money reaches your account
In African split-at-source markets, payments settle to your organisation's own account and Kinglify never holds your funds; elsewhere Kinglify collects, records exactly what you are owed, and settles monthly. Every fee is itemised as its own line before your first sale.
Mobile money across Africa
Members pay by mobile money across roughly twenty African countries, with Nigeria on Paystack and international cards everywhere else — so the people you actually serve can pay the way they actually pay.
One platform, one list of people
Membership, courses, events, giving, a storefront, livestream and your website in a single system. Not five subscriptions and five member lists to reconcile at the end of the month.
Your brand, your domain
Your own domain, logo, colours and fonts, with the Kinglify badge switchable off. Members see your organisation, not the platform you happen to run it on.
Five languages, free on every plan
English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Swahili across the whole product, with each member reading in their own language. Never an upgrade, never an add-on.
Your members become your salespeople
Run your own affiliate scheme at a commission you set, so the people who already believe in you get paid for bringing the next paying member. Built in, free on every plan.

Common questions
- Why would I move from Kajabi?
- Usually because the organisation outgrew “a creator with courses”. You now have members to renew, events to run, offerings to collect, branches to report on, or a team that needs roles — and that is the point where a course platform plus three other tools stops adding up.
- Is the migration painful?
- Your content has to be re-created; there is no one-click import. The honest answer is that a typical course library is a weekend of work.
- What does Kinglify take?
- 15% on content sales, 20% on membership, and a 2% platform transaction fee, each itemised as its own line rather than blended into one number. Compare it against your actual mix, not a headline.
- Do I own my audience?
- Your member and buyer records are yours and exportable at any time, and earned balances are paid out even if an account is suspended.
