Kajabi EVOLVED: Here's Everything You Need to Know

Kajabi has released the most significant update I have seen in a decade of using the platform. I rely on it to run my online business, so I pay close attention to what has changed and how those changes affect my setup, offers, and daily workflow.

I walk through the major updates so I can evaluate what deserves immediate action and what can wait. I focus on how each improvement impacts my sales process, client delivery, marketing systems, and overall growth strategy.

Key Takeaways

• I review major platform updates to decide what changes require action in my business.
• I assess improvements that affect sales flow, client experience, and automation systems.
• I evaluate new tools that expand mobile access, analytics, integrations, and monetization options.

Overview Of Kajabi Evolved

Kajabi has evolved with what I see as the biggest update the platform has made in 10 years. I use Kajabi for my online business, so I pay close attention to what has changed and how it affects the plan I am on.

This update covers more than 12 major features, including the unified mobile app, new checkout, coaching improvements, affiliates, automations, and community upgrades. I focus on what has changed, why it matters, and whether I need to take action now or wait for the rollout.

Platform Philosophy

I can see that Kajabi is listening to its users and evolving for the future. They explain the reasons behind these changes in their live stream, and I recommend watching the full 42‑minute replay to understand the direction they are taking.

They have invested heavily in key areas like:

• Community-first development
• More advanced automations with a visual builder
• A redesigned, customizable checkout
• Expanded coaching functionality
• A more robust affiliate system

For example, community is now included across all plans with:

Feature	Update
Community Access	Included with any website
Product Count Impact	Does not count toward product limits
Access Groups	Unlimited
Integrated Offers	Built directly into community

They position community as central to growing from follower to subscriber and then moving people up a value ladder through in-context offers.

Across checkout, coaching, affiliates, and automations, I see a consistent shift toward more customization, automation, branding control, and built-in monetization tools.

Accessing The Latest Updates

I go to kajabi.com and click on Kajabi Evolved from the homepage to review the updates. The page highlights each feature down the left-hand side, including checkout, coaching, affiliates, automations, and community.

The live stream replay was published on September 16, and I can watch it directly from that page or through the Kajabi YouTube channel under videos. I recommend watching the full replay to understand every change and decide whether I need to act now.

From there, I review each feature section individually and assess how it impacts my business, my workflows, and the plan I am currently using.

Revamped Checkout Experience

Customizable Options

I can now fully customize the checkout to match my brand. Kajabi rebuilt it to align with the landing page builder, so I can design it the way I want instead of relying on the old simplistic layout.

I can also embed the checkout directly into my own website or sales page. This makes it easier to control the full customer journey from sales content to payment.

Branded Checkout Design

The new checkout has a clear facelift. I can apply my branding and use the builder to structure the page so it feels consistent with the rest of my site.

This update responds to long‑standing criticism about limited branding. Now the checkout no longer feels disconnected from my landing pages.

Pricing Flexibility

I no longer need separate cards for different pricing options. I can place multiple pricing choices directly inside one checkout.

Customers can select the option they want at checkout. Kajabi reports a 68% increase in conversion among early adopters using this updated system.

Course Curriculum Preview

I can add a curriculum preview block directly on the checkout page. This lets me show an example of the course content right where the purchase decision happens.

It keeps everything in one place while reinforcing what buyers will receive.

Seamless Offer Upgrades

If I already have existing offers, I can upgrade them with a single click. After that, I can redesign the checkout using the new builder.

When using checkout pages more like landing pages, I stay intentional about flow. I prefer to handle most of the selling before the checkout so the page stays focused on completing the purchase.

Upgraded Coaching Portal

Customization Features

I can now use a fully customizable coaching portal that looks clean and modern. It has had a full facelift, and I can apply my own branding so it aligns with the rest of my business.

It feels far more polished, and it works on mobile as well, which makes it easier for both me and my clients to use.

One-Click Selling

I can use one-click, in-context selling directly inside the coaching experience. This allows me to present an upsell at the right moment without sending clients elsewhere.

The process stays simple and seamless within the platform.

Subscription Management

I can now set up auto-renew subscriptions for coaching. Instead of relying only on one-time payments or payment plans, I can run recurring subscriptions directly inside Kajabi.

This gives me more flexibility in how I structure my coaching offers.

Integrated Invoicing

Kajabi now includes built-in invoicing connected to coaching. If I already use invoicing in my account, I can link it directly to my coaching services.

I can send invoices without needing a separate system.

Automation Capabilities

I have access to coaching-specific automations. I can trigger notifications or automated actions before or after a coaching call.

This helps me manage reminders and follow-ups inside Kajabi instead of relying on external tools.

Session Transcriptions

Built-in session transcriptions are coming soon. If I previously used Zoom, Google, or tools like Fathom for AI transcription, Kajabi will handle this directly within coaching calls.

This keeps everything in one platform and reduces the need for third-party software.

Enhanced Affiliate Platform

Kajabi have completely upgraded the affiliate experience. I have found the old system quite basic, so this update adds the functionality many of us have been asking for.

Branded Interface

I can now use a branded, engaging affiliate portal instead of the plain layout we had before.

This gives me more control over how my brand appears inside the affiliate platform. It feels aligned with the rest of my Kajabi ecosystem.

Automated Payouts

Automated payouts are a major change.

If I run an affiliate program, I can set payouts to go directly to my affiliates’ bank accounts automatically. I no longer need to manage each payment manually.

Status Dashboards

Affiliates now get at-a-glance status indicators inside their dashboard.

They can clearly see where they stand and track their performance without asking me for updates. This creates more transparency and reduces admin work.

Payout Delay Rules

I can now set payout delay rules directly in the platform.

If I use something like a 60-day delay, I can automate that rule instead of tracking it myself. This keeps payouts structured and consistent.

Exportable Leaderboards

The platform includes exportable leaderboards.

I can review performance data and highlight top performers. This makes it easier to recognize affiliates who are driving results.

Affiliate Challenges

Kajabi is introducing built-in affiliate challenges soon.

From the preview, I can see a gamified leaderboard that motivates affiliates to sell more. This adds a structured way for me to drive engagement and increase promotional activity.

Intuitive Automations Builder

Visual Canvas Design

I now have access to a visual automation builder with a full canvas layout. If you have used tools like Infusionsoft before, this will feel familiar.

I can see every automation mapped out in one place using an infinite canvas. I build as much as I need, but I still keep it simple so it stays manageable.

This layout helps me clearly visualize the classic if this, then that structure without guessing how everything connects.

Branching Logic

I can now use branching logic inside my automations.

If someone answers yes, they go down one path. If they answer no, they go down another.

This makes it much easier for me to segment my list and control what happens next based on real behavior.

I can also apply time-based rules and delays, so actions don’t trigger instantly unless I want them to.

Automation Blueprints

Kajabi provides pre-made automation blueprints that I can select and use right away.

If I prefer, I can also create my own custom blueprints to match my business model.

This saves time and reduces setup work while still giving me flexibility.

Social Automations

The new comment-to-DM social automation connects directly with my Kajabi account.

When someone comments, I can trigger an automated direct message without manual follow-up.

This adds another layer of automation to my marketing and keeps everything centralized inside Kajabi.

Advanced Community Features

Kajabi invested heavily in community and made it central to the platform. I see this as a clear shift toward a community-first approach for creators like me.

Universal Access Across Plans

Kajabi now includes one community on every plan.

If I have a website on Kajabi, I automatically get one community, and it does not count toward my product limit. That removes a major restriction that existed before.

Unlimited Access Groups

Inside that single community, I can create unlimited access groups.

For example:

• 1 community
• 3 access groups
• 10 access groups

None of these reduce my product count. I can segment members freely without worrying about limits.

Modern Design Options

Kajabi redesigned the community experience. I can fully customize the look and apply my branding.

It now feels much more interactive and intuitive. I can structure it similarly to a Facebook-style group while keeping everything on my own platform.

Integrated Courses

I can showcase my courses directly inside the community.

Members can:

• View available courses
• Go through enrolled programs
• Purchase additional offers

This keeps everything connected in one place instead of sending people elsewhere.

Contextual Offers

I can present offers directly within the community environment.

If someone joins a free membership, I can place relevant paid offers in context and move them up my value ladder. Kajabi reports an average 40% revenue boost for users leveraging this feature.

I focus on bringing followers into the community first, then serving them consistently with structured offers inside that space.

Unified Mobile App

The unified mobile app differs from the branded mobile app that I previously had to pay for. This version is completely free, and Kajabi includes it as part of the platform updates.

I see this as a structural shift in how Kajabi delivers mobile access across the ecosystem.

Course And Coaching Integration

The unified mobile app supports access across Kajabi products rather than limiting mobile functionality to a paid branded experience.

Because this sits inside the broader platform evolution, I view it as part of Kajabi’s move toward a more connected system across features like courses and coaching.

Community And Podcast Access

Kajabi continues investing heavily in community, and the unified mobile app aligns with that direction.

Since community now sits across all plans, I expect mobile access to play a role in how members engage inside that environment.

Centralized User Experience

This update reflects Kajabi’s focus on bringing features together under one system instead of separating them into paid add-ons.

By removing the extra cost barrier tied to the older branded mobile app, Kajabi centralizes mobile access inside the core platform experience.

Introduction Of Course Cohorts

Cohort courses form part of the biggest Kajabi update in 10 years. I include them in my review of over 12 major changes so I can understand exactly how they affect my business and the plan I am on.

I approach this update the same way I approach the others: I look at what changed, why Kajabi made the change, and whether I need to take action now or wait for the rollout.

Cohort-Based Learning

Kajabi now includes cohort courses as part of its evolved platform. I review this feature alongside checkout, coaching, affiliates, automations, community, and the unified mobile app.

I focus on how this update fits into my existing offers and whether it requires changes to my current setup.

Live Engagement Options

I check the Kajabi Evolved page and the live stream replay to understand how cohort courses function within the wider update.

• I watch the full 42-minute replay.
• I review Kajabi’s explanations for the changes.
• I assess whether the feature impacts my current plan.

This helps me decide if I need to implement anything immediately.

Accountability And Feedback

I evaluate cohort courses in the same practical way I assess every new feature. I consider:

Question I Ask	Why It Matters
Does this affect my current offers?	Protects existing revenue streams
Do I need to upgrade or adjust my plan?	Avoids unnecessary costs
Should I implement this now or later?	Keeps my rollout strategic

I stay focused on how Kajabi’s evolution supports my long-term business decisions rather than reacting to every update at once.

Content Transcription And Localization

Automated Transcription

I am introducing built-in session transcriptions inside Kajabi coaching calls. This feature is coming soon.

I currently use tools like Google, Zoom, or Fathom for AI transcription, but Kajabi is bringing this directly into the platform. That means I can host calls and access transcriptions in one place.

This update supports the move toward an all-in-one system, and it will also work on mobile.

Multi-Language Support

In this update, I did not announce any new features related to multi-language support.

AI Dubbing

I did not cover any AI dubbing capabilities in this set of updates.

Modern Page Builder Updates

Improved Speed And Usability

I can see that Kajabi has focused on improving how quickly I build and manage pages, especially with the updated checkout and coaching portals. The new checkout builder now aligns with the landing page builder, so I can design and customize it more freely.

I can embed the checkout directly into my sales pages and website. I no longer need separate pricing cards because multiple pricing options now sit inside a single checkout.

Early adopters are reporting a 68% increase in conversion, which shows measurable impact. I can also upgrade existing offers with one click and redesign them without rebuilding from scratch.

Global Branding Styles

I can now apply stronger branding across checkout, coaching, and affiliate areas. The checkout is fully customizable, and I can design it to match my landing pages instead of using the old simplistic layout.

The coaching portal and affiliate portal both support branded, customizable designs. I can control how these areas look so they align with my business identity.

This creates a consistent branded experience across:

• Checkout pages
• Coaching portals
• Affiliate dashboards
• Community spaces

Consistent User Interface

Kajabi has introduced a more unified design across features. The updated checkout, coaching portal, affiliate center, and automation builder all follow a more modern and cohesive layout.

The new visual automation builder uses a canvas-style interface. I can see branching logic clearly and map out “if this, then that” paths in one place.

This consistency helps me manage:

• Automations with branching logic
• Affiliate dashboards with status indicators
• Coaching sessions with built-in invoicing and upcoming transcriptions

Everything feels integrated rather than separated into disconnected tools.

Mobile-First Controls

Kajabi is prioritizing mobile access, including updates that work across devices. The coaching experience, for example, is designed to function smoothly on mobile.

The unified mobile app extends access beyond desktop. This supports clients and members who engage through their phones.

When I design checkouts, coaching offers, or community access, I know they will display and function properly in a mobile environment.

Optimized Link In Bio Tool

Expanded Analytics Dashboards

I pay close attention to how Kajabi now surfaces clearer data across features, especially where performance and conversions directly affect my business.

Customizable Dashboard

I can see improved at-a-glance status indicators inside the affiliate portal, which gives affiliates clearer visibility into their performance.

The updated interface includes:

• Branded affiliate dashboards
• Clear performance status indicators
• Exportable leaderboards
• Upcoming built-in affiliate challenges

These updates make tracking activity and engagement more transparent for both me and my affiliates.

In-Depth Reporting

Kajabi reports that early adopters of the new checkout are seeing a 68% increase in conversion. That data alone makes the checkout update worth reviewing closely.

Within Community, Kajabi states that in-context offers are boosting revenue by an average of 40% for users who implement them. I treat those figures as performance benchmarks when evaluating whether to adopt these features.

Data-Driven Decisions

I use the visual automation builder to map logic clearly with branching paths and conditional triggers. Seeing the full automation flow on an infinite canvas helps me understand how segmentation affects outcomes.

Automated affiliate payouts, payout delay rules, and subscription renewals also reduce manual tracking. When the system handles timing and logic, I can focus on refining strategy instead of monitoring spreadsheets.

Refined API And Integrations

Automation Enhancements

I now have access to a visual automation builder with a full canvas layout. I can map out every step using clear if-this-then-that logic and see how each automation connects.

The builder includes:

• Branching logic for yes/no responses
• An infinite canvas to expand workflows
• Pre-made automation blueprints
• Custom blueprint creation
• Time-based delay rules

I can also use comment-to-DM social automations, which integrate directly with my Kajabi account. This makes it easier to connect social engagement with my internal workflows without relying on external workarounds.

The visual layout helps me manage segmentation and simplify complex flows. I keep my automations structured and intentional.

Third-Party Integrations

Kajabi now reduces my reliance on external tools by bringing more functionality in-house.

For coaching, I previously used tools like:

• Google Meet or Zoom for hosting calls
• Fathom or other AI tools for transcriptions

Built-in session transcriptions are coming directly inside Kajabi calls. This keeps everything inside one platform instead of splitting data across services.

The new comment-to-DM automation also connects social interactions with Kajabi, tightening the link between external platforms and my internal marketing systems.
