Lyceum vs Kajabi

We will not be second class to Kajabi.

Kajabi is the best known name in this business. We respect it, and we out-build it where teaching and running a school actually happen. Below is the honest side by side, including the few places we are still catching up. Kajabi’s plans run $149 to $399 a month and still take a cut at the processor; Lyceum starts at $49, and your money goes to your own Stripe.

marks what we are still building, named honestly. Kajabi’s live plans charge 2.7 to 2.9% + 30¢ through Kajabi Payments and 0.5 to 5% on other gateways; their “0% transaction fee” is a legacy claim, not their current pricing. Figures from kajabi.com, June 2026.
