Alternative to Kajabi: Hyax
Kajabi pioneered the all-in-one creator platform, but at $199/mo with no AI, it’s showing its age. Hyax matches the course, email, and product workflow, then adds AI writing, help desk, live chat, and community at $29/mo flat.
Pricing at a glance
Kajabi charges flat tiers (e.g. Growth ~$199/mo monthly), not per subscriber. The slider shows that flat fee at every list size so you can compare mindset vs Hyax’s $29/mo flat.
Hyax email cost (optional)
Assumes ~40,000 sends/mo (4 sends to your full list per month). Pick one, /pricing for Resend vs plan caps.
Kajabi: Illustrative Growth-tier monthly price; Kajabi bills by product tier, not list size, verify on kajabi.com.
Hyax:Starter plan ($29/mo). Monthly billing, flat pricing, unlimited contacts, 0% platform fees. Does not include raw Resend charges when you use your own API key for unlimited sending. See pricing for email limits and plan caps.
Showing the Starter subscription only ($29/mo). About 40,000 sends/mo is above Starter's included platform sending, so this comparison does not include the email cost of that workload.

Why switch from Kajabi to Hyax
Less per month vs Kajabi Growth
Kajabi’s Growth plan is often around $199/mo before add-ons. Hyax Starter is $29/mo flat, same order of magnitude as one dinner out vs a car payment.
Built-in brand AI
Hyax writes long-form content in your voice with SEO and AI-detection bypass. Kajabi doesn’t ship that kind of native writing stack.
Help desk + chat included
Hyax includes help center and live chat for your customers. Kajabi is strong on courses, not a full support desk replacement.
