Kajabi vs Mighty Networks
Two platforms that both claim to do everything, aimed at different centres of gravity.
VERIFIED 2026-07-28
The verdict
Kajabi is a course and marketing business in a box; Mighty Networks is a community with courses attached. Kajabi's email marketing and funnels have no equivalent on Mighty Networks, and its course tooling is stronger. Mighty Networks is the better community and the only one of the two with a proven branded-app path. Neither is cheap: the honest comparison is $179 against $79, and the $79 plan cannot host course video.
Choose Kajabi if
- Email marketing and sales funnels are central
- Courses need drip, assessments, and real structure
- You want one tool instead of three
Choose Mighty Networks if
- Members talking to each other is the value
- You want a branded app eventually
- A $79 starting point matters
Cost at three real sizes
Cheapest plan that holds the member count, including each platform's own cut and payment processing.
