Kajabi vs Bumbi: which one sells more courses, memberships and coaching?
On this page
Bumbi is a platform for creators who sell digital products: ebooks, courses, templates and presets. It hosts your course, membership and coaching calendar in one library your students log in to, sells them to buyers anywhere in the world, and adds the webinar and WhatsApp tools that fill them. New here? Read what Bumbi is and how it works.
Courses
Courses with lessons, quizzes, drip and certificates
The painYou have the lessons recorded. You want them in a player your students enjoy, with a quiz at the end and a certificate they can show.
Bumbi Courses gives you sections and lessons of six kinds: video, text, quiz, assignment, download and live session. Quizzes have a pass mark and a set number of attempts, lessons unlock at once, days after enrolment or on a date, and finishers get a certificate with a code anyone can check at bumbi.io/cert. Videos stream from YouTube, Vimeo, Bunny Stream or any HLS link. Kajabi's course builder is polished and we scored it close; the difference is what surrounds the course. Published courses: Free 1, Starter 3, Growth and Elite unlimited (plan details).
Interview Prep Masterclass
A course your students finish, with proof at the end.
Memberships and coaching
Memberships that renew, and coaching calls people book themselves
The painThe course sells once; the community and the calls are where the recurring money is.
Bumbi sells memberships that renew weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly, with reminder emails before each renewal. Coaching gets a booking page: set your hours, connect your calendar, and the buyer picks a slot right after paying. Both live in the same library as your courses, so a student buys the course, joins the membership and books a call under one login. See which Bumbi plan fits which creator.
Career Circle membership
Mock interview, 45 min
Pick a time after payingRecurring money and booked calls, no extra tools.
Student library
One login for everything a student buys from you
The painStudents lose the course link, forget the password, and email you at midnight.
Bumbi enrols the student the moment payment is verified and emails an access link to the library at bumbi.io/access, where every course, membership, booking and download they bought from you stays. They sign in with an emailed code, no password to forget. Past students can be enrolled from a CSV, so nobody buys twice when you move.
Deliver once, correctly, forever.
Webinars
The webinar that sells the course, on a schedule
The painA course page converts a few people. A class that shows the method converts far more, and you cannot teach it live every evening.
Bumbi runs your recording as scheduled live sessions: registration page, email and WhatsApp reminders, a room with chat, and your course offer at the minute you choose with a countdown; latecomers get the replay with the same offer. Webinars: Growth 1, Elite 7. VSL offers, a sales video over the checkout, start on Starter. Read how to sell with webinars and how to add an offer to your webinar room.
Teach once, enrol every week.
WhatsApp follow-up from your own number
The painYour students reply on WhatsApp, not email, and nobody can chat all day.
Bumbi connects your own WhatsApp number and sends follow-ups from it: a welcome when someone enrols, a nudge to the people who registered for the webinar and did not buy, and an optional reminder to students who have not opened the course in seven days, with the first name filled in. Starter and up; Free includes 300 messages as a lifetime allowance. The WhatsApp automations release note shows the setup, and how to set up a webinar follow-up sequence covers the emails after the webinar.
Follow up where students read, from the number they know.
Groups
A WhatsApp community attached to the course
The painThe community is half the value of the course, and adding every new student by hand is a job.
Bumbi links a WhatsApp group to a course, so a new student gets the join link with their access. One link admits people, fills a fresh group in rotation when one is full, and sends scheduled messages and broadcasts to all of them. WhatsApp groups start on Starter. See the WhatsApp Group Automation release notes.
The community fills itself.
Checkout
A checkout that confirms the payment by itself
The painA student is ready to enrol, the payment page hangs, and she closes the tab.
Bumbi gives every course product one checkout link, and the page confirms the payment by itself, so nobody sends you a screenshot. Checkout is built for 99.9% payment uptime, the student is enrolled the moment the payment clears, and checkout is on the Free plan, free forever.
Every student who wants to pay, can.
Sell worldwide
One price at home, the right currency everywhere else
The painYou teach students in three countries and do not want three stores.
Bumbi sells unlimited digital products to buyers anywhere in the world from one link. Set one price; students in other countries see and pay in their own currency where supported. Every course gets a public page at bumbi.io/c/your-course with free preview lessons, and the paid course sells through its own checkout link.
One course, one price, every student's own currency.
Payouts
The money in your own bank account
The painThe sale shows on a dashboard. The money is somewhere between a processor and a payout schedule.
Bumbi puts every sale in your Wallet, listed by student. Save your payout account once; every withdrawal is confirmed with a six-digit code sent to your email, and the Wallet is on every plan.
One balance, your own bank, a code to confirm.
Bumps, affiliates, tracking
Order bumps, affiliates, verified reviews and ad tracking around the course
The painHosting the course is the easy part. Selling more of it every month is the job.
Bumbi adds more to each order: an order bump is a tick box on the checkout ("Add the workbook"), paid in the same payment. Abandoned checkouts get three recovery emails under your name that stop the moment the student pays. Switch a course on for affiliates, set what each earns, and they get tracked links and a portal. Bumbi asks each student for a review, shown as "Verified purchase" on your product page. For ads, paste your Meta Pixel ID in Integrations and Bumbi adds it to your pages and checkout, no code. Read how webinar affiliate marketing works and how to add retargeting pixels to your funnel; limits are on the pricing page.
Bigger orders, other people's audiences, proof beside the course.

Kajabi or Bumbi: which one fits you?

Verdict
Bumbi team scorecard: our hands-on test, October 2026
Our verdict: Bumbi 9.0 out of 10, Kajabi 6.2. We hosted the same eight-lesson course on both, sold it to students at home and abroad, then tried to follow up. Kajabi's course and membership tools are polished and we scored them close; Bumbi is the one where the webinar, the WhatsApp follow-up and the local checkout sit next to the lessons.

FAQ
Kajabi vs Bumbi: questions people ask
Is Bumbi a good Kajabi alternative for course creators?

In our October 2026 test Bumbi scored 9.0 and Kajabi 6.2.
Does Bumbi have quizzes and certificates?
Yes. A Bumbi quiz lesson has a pass mark, a set number of attempts and the option to show answers, and finishers get a certificate with a code anyone can check at bumbi.io/cert. Lessons can unlock at once, days after enrolment or on a date, and you review assignments from the dashboard.
Can I sell a membership or coaching on Bumbi?
Yes. Bumbi memberships renew weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly with reminder emails before each renewal, and coaching gets a booking page where the buyer picks a slot right after paying. Both sit in the same library as your courses, so one student can hold all three under one login.
Where do my course videos live on Bumbi?
On the video host you already use. Bumbi plays videos from YouTube, Vimeo, Bunny Stream or any HLS link inside the course player; you paste the link into the lesson. Bumbi never hosts the video itself, so there is no upload limit to think about and your files stay where they are.
How do students pay on Bumbi, and how do I withdraw?
Students pay on one checkout page that confirms the payment by itself, and students in other countries see and pay in their own currency where supported. Sales land in your Bumbi Wallet, and you withdraw to your saved bank account with an emailed code.
How do I move my students from Kajabi to Bumbi?
Export your students as a CSV from Kajabi and enrol them into the rebuilt course in Bumbi, so nobody buys twice. There is no importer for lessons, so you add sections, paste video links and set quizzes by hand. Buyers keep everything in their library.
