Key Takeaways
  • LearnWorlds gives you more control over how people learn, not just what they watch. With SCORM support, lesson-level logic, and built-in interactivity, it’s built for educators and businesses who care about depth, flexibility, and real results. 
  • Kajabi’s course builder is simple and straightforward, and it’s made easier with its AI tools. But while it’s enough for building structured courses, it lacks what you need for building professional learning experiences.

Key Takeaways
  • Kajabi’s site builder is easy to use and tightly integrated with its sales funnels and email tools, and their templates are sleek and well-optimized for quick launch. But only LearnWorlds gives you full creative and technical control over your website, with advanced design options and deep customization. 
  • While both Kajabi and LearnWorlds offer an easy-to-use website builder with dozens of page templates and pre-made blocks, only LearnWorlds supports native multilingual websites and learning environments out of the box.

Key Takeaways
  • Kajabi’s all-in-one setup, including built-in email and visual funnels, makes it a solid choice for creators starting from scratch. But its closed-system approach makes it harder to connect with the rest of your tools, which can become an even bigger problem as you scale.
  • By contrast, LearnWorlds offers powerful built-in marketing and integrates easily with your existing tech. So it’s the better choice for those looking to go big with their business, or who have complex operations.

Key takeaways
  • LearnWorlds gives you deeper, education-focused insights with detailed learner progress tracking, quiz analytics, engagement heatmaps, and certificate tracking. It’s best suited for businesses that want to measure real learning outcomes and continuously improve course quality in order to drive sales.
  • Kajabi focuses more on sales and revenue data, but lacks visibility into learner behavior and content performance. It’s sufficient for basic business tracking, but missing the data depth serious educators or training teams often need.

Key Takeaways
  • Kajabi works well for solo creators and small teams, with basic admin roles, tagging, and course access management. But it’s not designed for managing structured learning groups, teams, or corporate clients. Automations in Kajabi are powerful for sales and marketing, but lack depth for learning workflows.
  • LearnWorlds is built for scale and structured education, offering more flexibility for roles with prerequisites, group-based access, audience segmentation tools, and learning-focused automations.

Key Takeaways
  • LearnWorlds packs more advanced features into its lower-tier plans, making it the smart choice for businesses who want depth, flexibility, and control without the high price tag.
  • Kajabi costs more, especially on entry plans where it offers fewer core features. But its built-in marketing and streamlined setup make it a good fit for creators who care about speed more than flexibility.

Final takeaway

Kajabi and LearnWorlds offer similar features on the surface, but they’re fundamentally built for very different goals. 
Kajabi is a sales-first platform designed for solo creators who want to launch fast and sell digital products. It wraps website building, email, and funnels into a beginner-friendly package. But it’s a closed system, which can really limit how much you can customize, scale, or plug into other tools. It also lacks on the learner side, with fewer engagement-focused tools, and shallower educational analytics. 
LearnWorlds is built for education-first businesses — creators, teams, and organizations that care about teaching well and growing their impact as well as their sales. It gives you the tools you need to build structured learning, track real outcomes, and integrate into the software you already use (or might need as you scale). If your priority is building a long-term, learner-centric business, not just speed to market, LearnWorlds is the platform for you.
