Kajabi vs uncompressed.io.
A course business suite, or a video platform.
Kajabi is built for experts selling courses, coaching, communities and newsletters, with funnels and email marketing in the same system. uncompressed.io is built for people whose product is the film itself: a library, a player, a shop, memberships and leak tracing. They overlap on selling video; they differ on almost everything else.

What Kajabi costs
read 12 October 2026
Kajabi's three plans, from its own pricing page. The annual figure is the monthly equivalent when billed yearly.
USD 179
Kajabi Basic, monthly
USD 143 a month billed annually; 5 products, 2,500 contacts
USD 249
Kajabi Growth, monthly
USD 199 a month billed annually; 50 products, 25,000 contacts
USD 499
Kajabi Pro, monthly

Kajabi's price buys a whole business suite: funnels, landing pages and marketing emails on every plan, plus communities, websites and admin users that scale with the tier. If you use those tools, the price is spread across a lot of work. If you only need to sell and stream video, most of it goes unused. uncompressed.io's Pro plan is USD 39 a month, and the plans differ by storage and viewing hours, not by features: every core feature is on every plan.

Fit
Who should pick which
and where Kajabi wins
Kajabi is better if
You sell knowledge as a program: lessons in order, cohorts, coaching calls, a members' community, and email sequences that move people from a free lead magnet to a paid offer. Kajabi puts all of that in one system, and uncompressed.io offers none of it.
uncompressed.io is better if
You sell watching: a feature, a documentary, a web series, concert films, a back catalogue. Rentals with a viewing window, purchases that stream forever, downloads, gift memberships, country rules, a storefront under your name, and a leak traced to the buyer.
