Kajabi vs Infusionsoft Part 2
A while back I wrote a quick review on Kajabi vs Infusionsoft.
Since then Infusionsoft began the death spiral.
They bought CustomerHub to offer a membership alternative to Kajabi…then they neglected it and almost killed it.
Then Kyle Leavitt, a former Infusionsoft employee-turned-founder of CustomerHub turned-Infusionsoft-employee, became the owner of CustomerHub again!
This happened between 2011 and late 2018.
So let’s review what Kyle had to say years ago, and what is happening now, in mid-2019 when it comes to Kajabi vs Infusionsoft.
Deep Integration With Infusionsoft
“The first big difference is the level of integration with Infusionsoft.
With Kajabi you get a one-way data push from Infusionsoft to Kajabi. This means the member data comes over but that is all—you are largely left to keep the two databases up to date on your own from there so if you’re delivering on a subscription membership model be prepared for lots of manual updating.
Memberium on the other hand offers a bi-directional sync with Infusionsoft, which means that all of the information in both systems stays up-to-date all the time and both systems inform each other regarding changes (much more automated)!
CustomerHub Allows For More Customization
“Second thing is related to the core functionality of the products.
Kajabi is really set up to be a plug ‘n play system, which is nice in many ways and can help pragmatist users get set up easier. Problem is that this also really limits what you can do with the product. If you can’t do what you want out of the box you’re kind of SOL.
Memberium is still pretty easy to use and set up but doesn’t offer as much in terms of plug ‘n play content creation (as least for now). This means that users have to put a little more effort into content creation but they have much more flexibility in terms of how they present that content to the end user.
Native Billing Portal
“Lastly, Memberium offers an out of the box billing portal.
This means that your members can not only consume membership content but also manage their accounts, passwords, billing, etc all in the same place!
This is a unique benefit of Memberium and no other system offers this kind of functionality / integration with Infusionsoft out of the box.
“There are lots of other little differences but I think these are the main ones to be cognizant of as an Infusionsoft Certified Partner. Hope this helps!”
