Kajabi and Eden both put your products, your email, and your community in one place. Eden starts at $29 a month with a community included, and gives your members a Telegram-style chat, a Library (Eden's forum) for posts worth keeping, events on their calendar, and apps on iOS and Android.

Kajabi is a mature all-in-one: courses, websites, funnels, email, and a community with chat channels and Meetups, from $179 a month ($143 billed yearly), with 1 community on Basic and Growth and 3 on Pro. It takes no cut of your sales. Eden runs your store, courses, coaching, email, and community from $29 a month plus 5%, with 3 communities on Pro at $79. As sales grow, Kajabi's flat price wins. Pick Eden if you want the whole stack without the $179 starting price.
A community is a store product. Free, monthly, yearly, or included with your course, sold from the same page and checkout as your other products.
Email in the plan. Broadcasts to 10,000 contacts on Starter, sequences and 50,000 contacts on Pro, and a sequence that starts when someone joins a community.
Everything you sell beside it. Courses, cohorts, coaching, paid calls, downloads, and Custom AIs, plus scheduling and research for the posts that bring people in.
One for each offer. Run a free community, a paid one, and a room for your coaching clients. Kajabi gives you 3 on Pro at $499 a month.
Rooms inside a community. Make a channel only buyers of one product can see, or only members you tag VIP.
No member cap. Eden never charges by member, on any plan. Max runs as many communities as you want.
Channels that show what's new. Each channel shows its last message, and you set the order. Members see where the talk is before they tap.
Threads with their own inbox. Reply in a thread so the main chat stays readable. Every thread someone is in waits in one inbox.
Voice notes, photos, forwarding. Members send voice notes and photo grids, @mention each other, and forward a good message to another channel.
A Library next to the chat. Guides, breakdowns, and wins in categories you set, with pinned posts, covers, and video, so the good answers don't scroll away.
Sync to calendar. Members tap once and every event lands on their own calendar, and stays current when you move one.
On iOS and Android. Members chat, read the Library, and see events in the Eden app, free for them on every plan.

Based on published product information. Features and prices can change.
Pick Kajabi if you sell enough that a flat price beats a fee, roughly $2,000 a month or more, and you want a full website, funnels, your own domain, or a branded app in your name. Pick it too if your members want DMs.
Pick Eden if you want the store, courses, coaching, email, and a community in one place without the $179 starting price, or if you want more than one community without paying $499.
Monthly plans plus platform fees on sales. Payment processing comes out on both sides and is left out here.
Kajabi takes no cut, so it gets better as you sell more. Eden Pro costs less up to $2,000 a month in sales against Kajabi Basic billed monthly, or about $1,300 against Basic billed yearly. Card processing is about the same on both sides and is left out. Eden Pro also holds 3 communities and 50,000 contacts; Basic holds 1 and 2,500.
Import your members. Export your contacts from Kajabi, import them in Customers, and pick your community or course. Everyone on the list gets in without paying again.
Or send one link. Share your community's join link. Members who already have access go straight in; everyone else lands on the page to join.
Paid members subscribe again. Kajabi's subscriptions don't move over, so paying members start a new membership on Eden, paid to your own Stripe.
