Kajabi is built for a creator growing an audience. It has a community with feeds, chats and challenges, points, badges and a leaderboard, a built-in blog, a free mobile app (branded on Pro), and Cofounder, which drafts a course for you. Scholaxy is built for a school that sells and supports with a team: deal pipelines, lead distribution, a support desk with SLA timers, Latin American payment gateways and SCORM.

Kajabi fits better if:
• the community is your product: Kajabi has feeds, chats, direct messages and challenges, with points, badges and a leaderboard
• learners expect your school in an app today: Kajabi's app is free, and a branded app comes with Pro or costs $199 a month
• you publish a blog on the same site, with SEO settings and calls to action on each post
• you sell 1:1 coaching: a coaching product with its own scheduler is on every plan
• you want to see where viewers drop off each video: Kajabi shows a viewing heatmap per viewer
Scholaxy fits better if:
• you take payments in Latin America on your own accounts: Mercado Pago, PagBank and EBANX connect next to Stripe and PayPal. Kajabi documents no Latin American gateway
• a sales team works the leads: several deal pipelines, leads split by channel quotas and shifts, and calls logged from Twilio or Aircall
• learners write to you often: one queue for email, Telegram, site chat and learner chat, with departments, SLA timers and 1–5 ratings
• a lesson needs more than one video: about 20 lesson blocks, SCORM packages, quizzes with a timer. A Kajabi lesson holds one video or audio plus text and files
• you run dated cohorts with a curator and a seat limit on any plan; Kajabi has cohort courses on Growth and Pro, without documented seat limits
Kajabi Basic costs $179 a month, or $143 a month billed yearly; Growth is $249 ($199 yearly) and Pro $499 ($399 yearly). There is no free plan. Kajabi takes no fee on sales through Kajabi Payments or PayPal; through other processors it adds 0.5–2%, depending on the plan.

1. Export your contacts from Kajabi as a CSV file.
2. In Scholaxy, open Import students in the Students section and upload a CSV or XLSX file with the columns email, full_name and phone, up to 500 learners per file. Accounts that already exist are skipped, and new learners can go straight into a group.
3. The import sends no emails. Send learners an invitation link to their course or group, or ask them to set a password with "Forgot your password?" on the sign-in page.
4. Kajabi has no course export, and its help center says a full course backup is not possible. Download your videos and files and upload them into Scholaxy lessons; the guided course setup builds the course skeleton first, from 9 questions.
5. Connect your own Stripe, PayPal or Mercado Pago account and set up your offers and promo codes.
6. Point your domain at Scholaxy with a TXT and a CNAME record; the TLS certificate is issued automatically.
