About this calculator
Why does Teachable Starter look expensive at higher sales?
Starter charges a 7.5% platform fee on every sale. At $2,000 a month that is $150, more than the $40 gap to the fee-free Builder plan. The break-even is about $533 a month in sales.
Why is the email add-on ignored for Kajabi?
Kajabi Basic includes email marketing, so you would not buy a separate tool. If you keep Kit or beehiiv anyway, add their price to Kajabi's column yourself.
What is not in these numbers?
Payment processing (shown separately), your website if the platform's built-in pages are not enough, taxes, and any paid templates or add-ons.
