Pricing

Kajabi Branded Apps: Kajabi’s pricing can be expensive, especially when adding the cost of branded apps to the standard subscription fees.

Additionally, the lower tier plan does not include the community features.

Kajabi does not offer a free plan of any type.

Movement: Movement provides a more flexible pricing model, which can be more cost-effective for users looking to build a comprehensive app without incurring excessive fees. Pricing is transparent and adjustable based on the features and scale of your project. Plus, there is both a free trial and free plan so you can test and explore the platform before making a financial investment. Launching your app on both the Apple app store and Google Play store is available on the Business plan.

Notably, all Movement plans include your own branded app, including Movement's free plan so you can in theory, create your own branded app free. With Kajabi, you will paying minimum $238/usd per month to have a branded app.
