Is Coachli really free, or are there hidden fees?

Coachli is free to use with no monthly subscription. You only pay a transaction fee on successful sales. The rate depends on currency: 4% plus a small flat fee for Naira sales, and 7.5% for USD and other Stripe currencies. There are no setup fees, no listing fees, and no charges for unused months.

Can I migrate from Kajabi to Coachli?

Yes. You can export your customer list as a CSV from Kajabi and import it into Coachli. For active digital products, you re-upload your files and recreate the product pages. For ongoing course members, the cleanest approach is to run both platforms briefly during migration. Coachli's support team will help you through the process.

Does Coachli have email marketing like Kajabi?

Coachli offers basic email functionality for transactional messages (receipts, booking confirmations, reminders). For full marketing automation comparable to Kajabi's built-in tool, most Coachli users integrate with ConvertKit, MailerLite, or Mailchimp. This unbundled approach often costs less than Kajabi's bundled tier for similar functionality.

Can my Nigerian clients pay me on Kajabi?

Kajabi accepts payments primarily through Stripe and PayPal. Nigerian clients without dollar cards or PayPal accounts will struggle to pay. Coachli integrates Paystack and Flutterwave, which accept Nigerian bank transfers, debit cards, and USSD codes natively. If you have Nigerian clients, this is the single biggest reason to choose Coachli over Kajabi.

Does Coachli support live classes and webinars like Kajabi?

Yes. Coachli has built-in live class hosting with support for up to 10 co-hosts, automatic reminders, recording, and webinar functionality. You don't need Zoom or Google Meet as a separate tool.

What about course delivery, drip content, and quizzes?

Coachli supports course uploads (video, PDF, audio) with structured chapter delivery. Drip content and quizzes are simpler than Kajabi's, which has a more mature LMS. For complex, structured curricula with assessments and certificates, Kajabi or Thinkific are stronger choices.

Is Coachli safe for processing payments?

Yes. Coachli uses Stripe, Paystack, and Flutterwave as payment processors, each of which is PCI DSS compliant. Coachli never holds funds directly; your payouts come from the processor.

Can I try Coachli before committing?

Coachli has a free forever plan with no time limit. You can create your account, set up products and sessions, and process real sales without ever paying a monthly fee. You only pay the transaction fee when you make a sale.

How does Coachli compare to other Kajabi alternatives like Teachable or Stan Store?

Teachable starts at $29/month plus transaction fees. Stan Store is optimised for link-in-bio rather than coaching businesses. Coachli sits between them: more complete than Stan Store for serious course and coaching work, cheaper than Teachable for low-volume sellers, and distinct from both in supporting Naira and other African currencies natively.

Why should I trust Coachli for my coaching business?

Coachli has 15,000+ active coaches, consultants, and creators using the platform, with over ₦1 billion in transactions processed to date. The company operates through Coachli Technology Inc. (Delaware, US) and Coachli Technology Ltd (Nigeria). Payment processing is handled by Stripe, Paystack, and Flutterwave, all of which are independently regulated. Your customer data and sales records belong to you and can be exported at any time.

Pricing math at every revenue level

Kajabi's $179/mo lowest plan is $2,148/year before any sales. Coachli has no monthly fee. Here is what that looks like by audience.

Nigerian creators paid in Naira

For any Nigerian coach or creator selling primarily in Naira, Coachli is dramatically cheaper than Kajabi at every revenue level. Kajabi cannot accept Naira natively. The cost difference for a Lagos-based life coach earning ₦2,000,000/month is approximately:

Kajabi Basic: ₦270,000/mo (at current FX) plus ~3% processing = ₦330,000/mo, and your Nigerian clients cannot easily pay.
Coachli: 4% of ₦2,000,000 = ₦80,000/mo.

Savings with Coachli: ~₦250,000/month, plus your clients can actually pay.

USD-paid creators

For creators selling primarily in USD (US, UK, Canada, Australia clients), the comparison is closer.

Example 1, new coach at $2,000/mo: Coachli 7.5% = $150/mo, no monthly commitment, full session and live class infrastructure included. Coachli saves $87/mo ($1,044/year) vs Kajabi Basic at $179/mo plus ~2.9% Stripe (~$237/mo).
Example 2, mid-tier at $5,000/mo: Coachli 7.5% = $375/mo, all-in, with no contact limits, no product limits, and full multi-currency dashboard. Kajabi Basic plus Stripe lands around $324/mo, but caps you at 5 products and 2,500 contacts.
Example 3, established at $15,000/mo: Coachli 7.5% = $1,125/mo, with no contracts and full Naira/USD/GBP/EUR in one dashboard. Kajabi Basic plus Stripe lands around $614/mo on USD sales (Kajabi cannot process Naira at all). At this scale, the multi-currency story usually outweighs the per-sale rate.

What the per-sale rate buys: Coachli's 7.5% is all-in: 1:1 paid session booking with built-in video, live class hosting for up to 10 co-hosts, digital product sales, native Naira processing via Paystack and Flutterwave, and a multi-currency dashboard. Kajabi's subscription gives you advanced marketing automation and funnels, but does not process Naira and caps products and contacts at Basic. The two platforms solve different problems beyond the rate.

Multi-currency creators

If you sell to both Nigerian and international clients, Coachli is the only platform that handles both fee structures natively. Kajabi forces your Nigerian clients through Stripe USD payments, with currency conversion friction at every step. Coachli processes Naira sales at 4% via Paystack and USD sales at 7.5% via Stripe, in the same dashboard, with the same product.
