Considered Both Products	Kajabi CM Chris Morin CLO Chose Kajabi Absorb LMS didn't have the ability to quickly and efficiently import courses without a lot of necessary customization.

User Testimonials
	Kajabi	Zen Planner
Likelihood to Recommend	It works great for us in the education space and delivering our curriculum to our clients. It's nice to have some of the extra access features and to have the community feature, so that works great for us. At the same time, Kajabi lacks some of the specificity we need, and I don't believe it is technically geared directly to the education space, so we will likely switch providers in the next couple of years to something that is more robust and relevant to our business model. Incentivized Greg Rellaford Business Retention Associate Read full review	I have used Zen Planner at 3 different Jujitsu schools. Every school that has used it, has had great success in keeping their attendance records straight for their students. This is great when promotions are coming up, or special seminars that need to reach everyone. I don't know that Zen Planner is a great product for places that don't need to communicate with their clients on a regular basis. Incentivized Ben Egbert Realtor® Read full review
Pros	With a featured button as opposed to just a hyperlink, it is incredibly simple to link to a page within an email. The marketing strategy's functionality and the ability to customize emails allow me to communicate with every client. Course creator to create digital products from your content. Incentivized Eva Johnson Marketing and commercialization. Read full review	Being able to log in from a phone saves quite a bit of time If I want to see if there is an upcoming class I can check in on the app I can have multiple accounts for any company that uses Zen Planner without having to download a separate app to log in. Incentivized Ben Egbert Realtor® Read full review
Cons	They've improved leaps and bounds, but their CRM is still subpar They have great uptime, but it could be better Affordability - I went in hoping to use their CRM feature and cut costs, but their CRM is lacking They offer a shopping cart, but in terms of being able to customize and payment option, they have a ways to go. Incentivized Ashlie Pappas Founder Read full review	The kiosk (attendance) interface seems to be lagging. A stronger android app. Incentivized Sanjit Mandal Digital Marketing Strategist, Founder Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	We are committed to it and once we get "really good" at using it, I think it is a excellent platform and links well to Hubspot. At present, we are still just barely scratching the surface with our use of its features Incentivized Alex Chapman Co-creator Read full review	No questions about that, I'm with Zen Planner for a while! They have everything I need and more. Incentivized Sanjit Mandal Digital Marketing Strategist, Founder Read full review
Usability	The back-end system can be used efficiently and has flexibility. It doesn't have a lot of unnecessary functions or un user-friendly features. We have had no issues using the system and would continue to use it with the current functions and features. I would rate it as user-friendly yet flexible Incentivized CM Chris Morin CLO Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	The Kajabi Support people are helpful, fast and knowledgeable. I usually call in a panic - because I have lost something, messed something or am on a deadline. Sometimes we speak, or we do a chat. Always my angst is eliminated. I often thank the person for being "so patient" with me. LOL Incentivized Alex Chapman Co-creator Read full review	No answers on this topic
Implementation Rating	These platforms are big complex pieces of software. Mor recently - Kajabi provides a done for you example which you can borrow and customise - but those were not available when we started. Incentivized Alex Chapman Co-creator Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Kajabi is more adjusted for learning needs. While Tilda and Wix can help to create very customizable designs for landing pages and great checkout experiences, Kajabi is more convenient for creating learning sequences. The best way is to use all these platforms together, so they can support the optional customer journey from landing page to learning on the course.

Return on Investment	Saved around $100 a month thanks to combining several online platforms into one Saved dozens of hours not having to upload videos and images thanks to the Google Drive integration and URL Import Building pages takes a little longer than other page builders due to how many clicks it takes to exit and enter editing settings.
