Kajabi vs GoHighLevel vs ColibriOS: What Each All-in-One Costs and Includes
Kajabi and GoHighLevel both put your whole business in one place. They come at it from different directions. Kajabi is built for courses, coaching and memberships. GoHighLevel is built for marketing agencies and the businesses they run. If you host, guide or teach, both end up on the shortlist sooner or later.
We make the third option in this comparison, ColibriOS, so here is how we kept it fair. Every Kajabi and GoHighLevel figure below comes from that company's own pricing or product page, checked on November 1, 2026, and linked where it appears. Every price is the regular month-to-month rate, so nobody's yearly discount gets mixed with anybody's list price. And there is a section on where each of them is the better buy.
Price per month, billed month to month
ColibriOS has one paid plan, ColibriOS Pro. Kajabi and GoHighLevel each publish three.

- Basic at $179 a month, or $143 a month billed yearly: 5 products and 2,500 contacts.
- Growth at $249 a month, or $199 billed yearly: 50 products and 25,000 contacts.
- Pro at $499 a month, or $399 billed yearly: unlimited products and 100,000 contacts.
GoHighLevel pricing

Every GoHighLevel plan includes unlimited contacts and users. Email, texts, calls and AI are charged per use on top of the plan; the pricing page explains this under "Are there any hidden fees?"
ColibriOS pricing
ColibriOS Pro is $129 a month, or $1,290 a year (two months free). It includes unlimited contacts and about 400 AI actions a month, and there is a Free plan to start on. Any current offer is on the pricing page.

Where they win
GoHighLevel's Starter plan costs less than ColibriOS Pro, $97 against $129 a month, and runs up to three businesses from one account. If you run an agency or more than one brand, that counts for a lot.
Kajabi includes your own branded mobile app on Pro and hosts podcasts. ColibriOS has no branded app: your members use a web portal in their browser. GoHighLevel offers a branded app as a $49 a month add-on.
Where ColibriOS is different
The row neither of them lists is the books. ColibriOS keeps your bookkeeping as you go: income tracked as bookings happen, a bank feed, expenses sorted into categories, and a tax-ready year-end report. Neither Kajabi's nor GoHighLevel's pricing page lists bookkeeping, so with either one the books usually live in a separate tool.
Colibri helps you organize your income and expenses. It is not a tax preparer, accountant, or a substitute for professional tax advice.
The other difference is what the monthly price covers. ColibriOS Pro includes email sends without a meter and about 400 AI actions a month. GoHighLevel charges for email, texts, calls and AI as you use them, and Kajabi's AI allowance starts on Growth.
Which one fits
- Kajabi fits when courses, coaching and memberships are the business, and especially when a branded app matters to your members.
- GoHighLevel fits an agency, or an owner running several businesses, who is comfortable paying for email, texts, calls and AI as they are used.
- ColibriOS fits people who host, guide and teach: sessions, classes, retreats and courses, with the books kept in the same place, at one published price.
