Short answer: for a coaching business the cheapest real option here is Systeme.io at $17 a month, which is $80 a month less than ClickFunnels at $97 and $162 a month less than Kajabi at $179. Kajabi is the only one of the three built around courses and community rather than funnels, and it is priced accordingly.

What the price difference actually buys

Systeme.io's $17 Startup plan caps you at 5,000 contacts, 10 funnels and 5 courses. ClickFunnels' $97 Launch plan gives you 1 workspace, 2 team members, 10,000 contacts and 50,000 emails a month. Kajabi's $179 Basic plan gives you 5 products, 2,500 contacts and 2 admin users.

So the honest read: ClickFunnels costs $80 a month more than Systeme.io and roughly doubles your contact ceiling and adds a second team seat. Kajabi costs $162 a month more than Systeme.io and gives you fewer contacts than either — you are paying for the course and community product, not for volume.

Who each one is for

Systeme.io: Solo founders who want funnels, email and courses in one cheap stack.
ClickFunnels: Marketers who live in funnels and want the biggest template ecosystem.
Kajabi: Course and coaching businesses already making money.

Who each one is not for

Systeme.io: Teams that need deep CRM, advanced reporting or phone/SMS at scale.
ClickFunnels: Anyone who wants cheap email — the contact and send caps are the real cost.
Kajabi: Beginners — the cheapest plan is more than most people's first month of revenue.

Where these numbers came from

Systeme.io — Both sets of numbers are first-party, but from two different systeme.io pages: the monthly rates from the pricing page, the annual rates from the vendor's own affiliate page. The annual rates are not printed on the pricing page itself. Source: systeme.io/pricing, read 2026-09-27.

ClickFunnels — Every plan price, annual rate and contact/email limit on this page was read from clickfunnels.com/pricing itself. Dominate is annual-only and is not sold month to month. Source: www.clickfunnels.com/pricing, read 2026-09-27.

Kajabi — Every plan price, annual rate, contact limit and payment fee on this page was read from kajabi.com/pricing itself. Kajabi takes no revenue share, but its own card rate and the third-party processor fee are listed separately above because they change the real cost. Source: www.kajabi.com/pricing, read 2026-09-27.
