From Kajabi to Complete Freedom: how one business saved $6,588 and gained full control
Client problem: Kajabi alternative required as costs were out of control.
A passionate business owner came to us with a familiar story. They’d launched on Kajabi (Growth Plan) and, at first, it felt perfect. Then reality hit: $243 AUD/month (that’s $2,916/year) just to rent their own website and course platform. As they grew, pricing nudges and plan limits kicked in. To add content, they had to upgrade—or restrict what they offered. And if they stopped paying? They’d lose everything.
Bottom line: the platform owned the house; they were paying rent.
Our solution: go independent on WordPress
What they have now:
-
Full ownership (no lock-ins; you control hosting, design, and data)
-
Freedom to scale courses and content without platform limits
-
Only pay for what you actually need (hosting/care, add-ons if/when you choose)
-
Fast loading, modern UX, and SEO tooling that you control
