Thinkific
8.6First-time creators and scaling course businesses who want 0% transaction fees at every paid tier, a genuinely free plan to validate demand, and a clean migration path to higher tiers without platform lock-in.
Kajabi
8.2Course creators already at £5K–£50K MRR who want to replace four tool subscriptions (email, funnel builder, community, course platform) with one bill. The math compounds in your favour from month seven.
