VidApp vs Kajabi
Kajabi and VidApp serve genuinely different primary use cases. Here is how to know which your business actually needs.
Whether Kajabi or VidApp is the right comparison for your business depends on what your core product actually is.
What Kajabi does well
Kajabi is one of the most complete platforms for creators whose primary product is courses, coaching programs, or information-based content. Website, checkout, email marketing, course delivery: it handles all of it in one place. For that use case, it is a mature, well-supported platform with a large community around it.
If your business is built on structured courses with modules and lessons, and your members primarily access content through a web browser, Kajabi is a reasonable home for that.
Where the platforms are different
What your product is
The difference is not really about features. It is about what your product is. Kajabi's content model is built around courses: modules, lessons, linear progressions. That model works for educational content. For fitness creators with workout libraries, programs, trainer-based content, difficulty tiers, and daily class schedules, you are working around a structure that was not built for your content type.
The mobile app experience
Kajabi does now offer branded mobile apps with your name and icon in the App Store. The UX and structure of those apps closely mirrors the standard Kajabi experience though. The underlying navigation and design framework is the same across all Kajabi creators' apps.
VidApp builds your app from the ground up. The design, navigation, content structure, and member experience are all built specifically for your business and your content.
TV apps
Kajabi does not have native Apple TV, Roku, or Amazon Fire TV apps. For fitness creators, the TV screen is where a significant share of workouts happen. VidApp ships Apple TV, Roku, and Amazon Fire TV as standard, alongside iOS, Android, and web.
Who Kajabi is right for
Kajabi is right for creators whose primary product is a structured course, coaching program, or digital curriculum, and who want one platform for their website, marketing, and content delivery. If your business is less about a daily workout library and more about a defined learning journey, Kajabi serves that well.
Who VidApp is right for
VidApp is right for fitness creators whose primary product is a subscription streaming app. If your members come back daily for workouts, if they train on TV, and if having a fully custom app built around your content matters to your business, VidApp is built for that.
Still deciding?
