$99 buys 3 months of Kajabi’s Basic plan through a limited-time offer page on kajabi.com, against $537 at the normal monthly price. You reach that deal through a link. Kajabi’s standard signup checkout has no field for a Kajabi coupon code, so codes copied from coupon sites have nowhere to go.
Paying yearly takes 20% off every plan: Basic falls from $179 to $143 a month, Growth from $249 to $199 and Pro from $499 to $399. The free trial runs 14 days, and Kajabi partners can share a 30-day trial link. Verified nonprofits can ask support for 10% off, and Kajabi refunds a first charge requested within 30 days.
Kajabi’s Basic plan costs $179 a month, which is $2,148 over a year on monthly billing. Even a 10% code on that would be worth $214.80 a year.
Google answers with coupon pages promising 50% off, a code for military members and a free month. Mixed in are Kajabi’s own help pages about something else entirely: how Kajabi sellers make coupons for their own buyers.
You’ll leave knowing which Kajabi discounts are real, what each one turns into when it ends, what to expect around Black Friday, and, if you sell on Kajabi, how to set up coupon codes for your customers.
Key Takeaways
- Kajabi’s checkout has no coupon field. The standard signup page asks for your name, email, password and card, with no box for a promo code.
- Paying yearly is the discount anyone can take. It saves $432 a year on Basic, $600 on Growth and $1,200 on Pro.
- A limited-time Kajabi page sells 3 months of Basic for $99. After those 3 months, the account continues on Basic at $179 a month.
- Check what a deal turns into before you start it. Some trials roll into a pricier plan, and yearly renewals carry no price lock.
- Coupons for your own customers are a separate feature. Kajabi sellers build them under Sales, then Coupons, as Offer, Cart or Bulk codes.
Is there a Kajabi coupon code?
Kajabi publishes no coupon code for its own plans, and its standard signup checkout has nowhere to type one. I opened the signup page for Basic on yearly billing and searched the page code for “coupon” and “promo”. Neither word appears.
Kajabi’s standard signup checkout. Read down the left side: name, email, password, card, postal code, and no box for a code.
The form asks for your name, email and a password, then your card and postal code, plus an optional tax number. Below the button it reads “Due today $0.00”, because a standard Kajabi signup starts with a 14-day free trial.
If you’re about to start selling, the platform bill is only 1 of your costs. The Online Selling Mistakes Challenge covers the 5 selling mistakes solo creators make most, with a fix for each, in 5 short emails.
Coupon sites still list Kajabi codes. A coupon site on Google’s first page lists a code it says gives military members 30% off. I found no page on kajabi.com that mentions a military discount, and the checkout gives the code nowhere to go.
Kajabi also pays people who send it signups.
Its partner program page promises “30% lifetime commission for any active member you sign-up for Kajabi.” A coupon page that sends you to Kajabi through a partner link can earn a share of every bill you pay, for as long as you stay. The FTC’s endorsement guidance puts the problem plainly: “Consumers might not understand that ‘affiliate link’ means that the person placing the link is getting paid for purchases made through the link.”
Teachable’s coupon pages run on the same partner-commission setup, as our Teachable coupon code check found, though Teachable’s checkout does accept plan coupons. A partner link can still be a good deal for you. Kajabi partners can share a 30-day free trial link, more than twice the standard 14 days. When a coupon page sends you to Kajabi through a partner link, the link is the deal.
Kajabi discounts that come from Kajabi
On Basic, the 2 biggest Kajabi discounts, the $99 offer and the yearly toggle, both bring a first year down from $2,148 on monthly billing to just over $1,700.
| Route | What you pay | Who gets it | When it ends |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pay yearly | 20% less on every plan | Anyone, at signup or later | Renews each year at Kajabi’s price at the time |
| 3 months for $99 | $99 once, Basic plan only | Whoever signs up through Kajabi’s limited-time offer page | Continues on Basic at $179 a month |
| Standard free trial | $0 for 14 days | Anyone signing up on kajabi.com | First charge on day 14, on the plan you picked |
| Partner trial | $0 for 30 days | Whoever signs up through a partner’s 30-day trial link | A paid plan when the 30 days end |
| Nonprofit discount | 10% off the subscription | Verified nonprofits who ask support | Applies to the Kajabi subscription only |
| Launch offers | Extras such as free migration, no price cut | Whoever signs up while the offer runs | A recent offer’s trial moved to Growth at $249 a month |
Paying yearly: 20% off every plan
Kajabi’s yearly toggle works on every plan, at signup or any time after. Its pricing page labels it “Save 20%”, and the arithmetic holds on each plan.
Billing yearly takes $216 off Kickstarter, $432 off Basic, $600 off Growth and $1,200 off Pro compared with 12 monthly payments.
| Plan | Monthly billing | Yearly billing | Saving per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kickstarter | $89 a month | $71 a month ($852 a year) | $216 |
| Basic | $179 a month | $143 a month ($1,716 a year) | $432 |
| Growth | $249 a month | $199 a month ($2,388 a year) | $600 |
| Pro | $499 a month | $399 a month ($4,788 a year) | $1,200 |
Kickstarter isn’t on the pricing page at all. Kajabi still sells it through its own signup link, and its limits are tight: our Kajabi pricing breakdown counts 1 product and 250 contacts. If 1 product is all you sell, $852 a year is the lowest yearly bill Kajabi offers.
You don’t have to commit on day 1. Kajabi’s pricing FAQ says you can “go from monthly to annual at any time”, so you can start monthly while you test the platform and switch once you’re sure it fits.
3 months for $99, on a page the pricing page doesn’t link to
$99 buys 3 months of Basic on Kajabi offer pages such as kajabi.com/3-for-99, and neither the homepage nor the pricing page links to them. Kajabi calls it a limited-time offer, so it may be gone when you look.
Kajabi’s 3-months-for-$99 page. The card on the right lists Basic’s limits: 5 products, 2,500 contacts, 1 website and 1 community.
Kajabi runs 2 versions of the offer page. The fine print on 1 of them reads: “This limited time offer applies to Kajabi’s Basic plan only and excludes add-ons (including Branded Mobile App and Cohorted Courses).” Both put the price after the 3 months at $179 a month, and the other adds “Cancel any time before the three months end and you won’t be billed again.”
Run the numbers and the deal holds up. $99 for 3 months works out to $33 a month, against $537 for the same 3 months at the monthly price. Over a first year, $99 plus 9 months at $179 comes to $1,710, which is $6 less than a year of Basic billed yearly at $1,716, and you’ve only paid for 3 months up front instead of 12.
The $99 page only sells Basic, so if you already know you need Growth’s 50 products or 25,000 contacts, it can’t give you that.
In 1 case on Reddit, the link decided the price. In 2025 a member of r/kajabi replied under a Kajabi staff post about the $99 offer, saying they’d clicked through the funnel and reached a screen where “The offer is not available but for $399 it’s all mine.” A Kajabi rep answered in the same r/kajabi thread with a different link, writing “You should only be charged $99 upfront which will give you 3 months of access.”
Before you type in a card number, check the amount due on the last screen. If it doesn’t match the offer, go back.
Free trials: 14 days, or 30 through a partner
Every standard Kajabi signup starts with a 14-day free trial, and the checkout charges nothing on day 1.
Kajabi partners can double that. As partners set up a campaign link, Kajabi’s help center tells them they “always have access to an extended 30-day trial”, in its article on partner campaign links. Partners pick the campaign, so not every partner link is a 30-day one, and the same article warns: “A campaign is subject to close or change at any time at the discretion of the Kajabi team.”
So if someone you already follow uses Kajabi and shares a 30-day trial link, that link is worth more than any code on a coupon site. You get 16 extra days to build before the first charge, and the person who sent you earns their commission.
Launch offers add extras to the trial
Kajabi also runs time-limited launch offers, shown as a banner across its homepage and pricing page. When I checked, the banner promoted a “Business Launch Kit”: the normal 14-day trial plus free migration from another platform, AI help building your first product, weekly office hours and a community, with Kajabi putting the total value at $4,747.
It took nothing off the plan price, and its FAQ said the trial lands on a different plan: “Your account moves to Growth at $249/month.” That’s $70 a month more than Basic. Offers like this come and go, so before you start any Kajabi trial, read which plan it rolls into.
Free migration listed Teachable among the platforms it moves you from. If that’s your situation, our Kajabi vs Teachable comparison sets both price ladders side by side.
What a Kajabi deal costs once it ends
When a Kajabi deal ends, 3 things set what happens next: the plan it rolls into, the renewal price, and how long you have to ask for a refund.
The $99 offer continues on Basic at $179 a month, and the launch kit above moved trials to Growth at $249. You can change plans, but only inside the limits: Kajabi’s help center says “You cannot downgrade to a lower plan if your current usage exceeds that plan’s limits.”
A yearly plan can still go up when it renews. Kajabi’s subscription help page says “Annual plan pricing may change at renewal” and “Kajabi does not offer price locks or renewal discounts to offset price increases.” The same page warns that pausing (Kajabi calls it parking) your account cancels “any discounts on your account”.
The refund clock starts at your first charge. Kajabi’s terms promise “a full, no-questions-asked refund within thirty (30) days of your first charge at Kajabi”, requested by email to [email protected], and say that “After the first 30 days, all payments are nonrefundable.” On a standard 14-day trial the first charge lands on day 14, so you have until about day 44 after signing up to decide and still get that charge back.
The $99 offer has no trial. You pay on day 0, and its page promises a “30 day money back guarantee”, so that window runs to about day 30.
When a coupon won’t fix the price
A coupon won’t fix Kajabi’s price if you only use part of what Kajabi bundles. Kajabi’s own pricing FAQ makes the case for paying full price: “Price the pieces à la carte and Kajabi is the cheaper way to run the whole business from a few thousand contacts up.” That’s a fair argument if you’ll use the pieces. Kajabi bundles your email, website, courses, community and checkout on a single bill.
Add up what you pay today for the tools Kajabi would replace. If the total lands near Kajabi’s price, the plan is already worth it and a 20% discount is a bonus. If you’d only use 1 or 2 of those pieces, no coupon closes that gap, and our list of Kajabi alternatives prices the bundles and the single-job tools side by side.
No discount touches Kajabi’s third-party payment fee. If you take card payments through Stripe or another outside processor instead of Kajabi Payments, Kajabi adds 2% of every sale on Basic, 1% on Growth and 0.5% on Pro, on top of the processor’s own fee. At $3,000 a month in sales on Basic, that 2% comes to $60 a month, or $720 a year, which is more than the $432 the yearly toggle saves.
The pricing page notes the fee “Excludes PayPal & Kajabi Payments”, and its FAQ adds that “If you are in a region where Kajabi Payments is not offered, there is no additional processing fee.” Kajabi Payments itself charges card processing of 2.9% + $0.30 on Basic in the US.
If the checkout is the only part you need, say for digital downloads or a membership whose content already lives elsewhere, a dedicated checkout costs far less. CartMango is one, and it’s mine, so read this paragraph knowing that. CartMango is free right now, with paid plans from $10 a year starting in November 2026, and it takes no cut of your sales beyond what Stripe or PayPal charge.
CartMango doesn’t host courses or a community yet, and CartMango plans both for October 2026 on its $30 a year Platinum plan. If you need course hosting today, Kajabi or a platform like it is the better pick.
Kajabi discounts for nonprofits, students and the military
Kajabi offers verified nonprofits 10% off, and I found no student or military discount on any kajabi.com page. Kajabi’s subscription help page lists it as the only group discount: “Kajabi offers a 10% discount for verified nonprofit organizations.” To claim it, you contact Kajabi support with proof of your status, “such as an IRS Tax Exempt determination letter or equivalent”. On Basic billed monthly, 10% comes to $17.90 a month.
In Kajabi’s words, “The discount applies to your Kajabi subscription only”, so it changes nothing about the coupons you create for your customers.
Kajabi Black Friday: does Kajabi run one?
Kajabi has run big limited-time deals before, and 1 blog reports a 50% Black Friday deal in 2025, but I found no Black Friday announcement on Kajabi’s own website. The launch offer above appeared as a banner across Kajabi’s homepage and pricing page, so that’s the first place to check in late November.
In April 2025 a Kajabi staff account on r/kajabi announced a “limited edition Creator Plan” with Pro-level features for 3 months at $99. A month later another staff post said the 3 for $99 offer “ends this Friday”. The version on Kajabi’s offer pages now covers Basic.
BloggingX, a blog with an affiliate disclosure on the same page, says Kajabi’s 2025 Black Friday deal was 50% off all core plans for the first 12 months. Nothing on Kajabi’s own site confirms it, so treat it as a report, not a promise. If your launch can wait until late November and the price matters, waiting may pay off, though nothing is confirmed and a limited offer running now may be gone by then. If it can’t wait, the yearly toggle saves 20% now.
How to create a coupon code in Kajabi for your own customers
You create a coupon code in Kajabi under the Sales tab, then Coupons. Every new coupon starts as a draft until you set it to Active. This is a different feature from a discount on Kajabi’s own plans, and Google mixes the 2 together for this search.
Kajabi has 3 coupon types: Offer coupons take a percentage or a fixed amount off the offers you attach, Cart coupons take a percentage off the whole cart, and Bulk coupons generate one-time 6-character codes.
| Coupon type | What it discounts | Discount type | Who can create it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Offer | The offers you attach to it | Percentage or fixed amount | Owners, admins, assistants and support specialists |
| Cart | The customer’s whole cart, with an optional minimum | Percentage only | Owners, admins, assistants and support specialists |
| Bulk | The offers you attach, 1 use per code | Percentage or fixed amount | Owners and administrators only |
Here’s the order Kajabi’s create coupons article walks through for an Offer coupon:
- Open the Sales tab and choose Coupons.
- Click + New coupon and pick Offer coupon.
- Type a code, such as HALFOFF, then choose Percentage off or Fixed amount off.
- Enter the value, for example 10 for 10% off.
- Attach the offers it covers, or choose all published offers.
- Add limits if you want them: a cap on total uses, 1 use per customer, or a date range.
- Save, then set the coupon to Active on its detail page when you’re ready to launch.
To skip the typing for your buyers, add the code to a landing page link. Kajabi’s example is a landing page URL with /?coupon_code=HALFOFF on the end, which applies the coupon automatically when the customer reaches popup checkout.
If you run an affiliate program on Kajabi, you can also give every affiliate a personal code. Kajabi calls this a Discount, allows “one active Discount at a time”, and credits a sale to the affiliate whose code was used “regardless of the presence of a browser cookie”.
Coupons on subscriptions and payment plans
A Kajabi coupon on a subscription runs Once, Repeating or Forever. Once discounts the first payment only, Repeating covers a set number of months from the first payment, and Forever covers every payment.
On yearly billing, durations work differently. Kajabi measures duration in months, and “A duration shorter than 12 months only reaches the first payment” on an annual subscription, so to discount 2 years you set 24 months. Kajabi’s own example: $500 off, repeating for 3 months, on a $1,200 yearly subscription means “The customer pays $700 at purchase”, and year 2 bills at full price. Pausing a subscription doesn’t pause the coupon either, so paused months still count toward its duration.
What Kajabi coupons won’t do
- No discount on upsells. Kajabi’s help center says “If the Offer includes an Upsell, the Coupon will not apply to the Upsell.”
- No automatic win-back. Coupons “don’t send automatically when a customer cancels or their subscription lapses”, so you send them yourself by email or through Kajabi Automations.
- Free subscription coupons still ask for a card. “Customers still need to provide their credit card information when using a free Coupon on recurring subscription Offers.”
- No field until a coupon is live. The coupon field “only appears when at least one Active Coupon is attached to the Offer”, so a draft coupon leaves your checkout with no box at all.
A coupon only works if the full price was right to begin with, and our guide to pricing digital products covers how to set it. If you sell from WordPress instead of Kajabi, our guide to WooCommerce coupon plugins covers what WooCommerce does for free. CartMango includes coupons on all 3 of its plans too.
FAQ
Is there a Kajabi promo code for a free first month?
There’s no code to type in, because Kajabi’s standard checkout has no field for one. A partner’s 30-day trial link gets you 30 days free instead of the standard 14, which covers your first month. Kajabi’s limited-time 3-months-for-$99 page is the other route, at $33 a month for 3 months of the Basic plan.
Can I switch to yearly billing after my Kajabi trial?
Yes. Kajabi’s pricing FAQ says you can “go from monthly to annual at any time”, and the 20% saving applies once you switch. Starting monthly keeps it cheap to leave, and you can move to yearly once Kajabi has earned its place. Remember that Kajabi’s 30-day refund window counts from your first charge, not from the switch.
Does Kajabi lock in my price when I renew?
No. Kajabi’s subscription help page says “Kajabi does not offer price locks or renewal discounts to offset price increases”, and yearly plans renew at Kajabi’s published price at the time. Before a renewal bills, you can confirm the amount under Settings, then Subscription & Billing.
Can I get a refund after paying for a year of Kajabi?
Only within 30 days of your first charge. Kajabi’s terms promise a full refund in that window, requested by email to [email protected], and say every payment after it is nonrefundable. On a standard trial the first charge comes on day 14, so day 44 is roughly your last day to ask.
Does the Kajabi $99 deal include Pro features?
The current offer pages cover Basic, with 5 products and 2,500 contacts, and the Basic-only version excludes add-ons such as the branded mobile app. In April 2025 Kajabi ran a version with Pro-level features, according to its own staff on Reddit. Read the plan named on the page before you pay, because the offer has changed between runs.
What to do instead of hunting for a Kajabi code
A Kajabi coupon code was never going to be the big saving. Pick the plan by what you’ll use, take the longest trial you can find, and pay yearly once the trial has earned it. A partner’s 30-day trial link or the $99 page is a bonus on top, as long as you check which plan it rolls into.
And if the checkout is the only part of Kajabi you’d use, skip the Kajabi coupon code hunt entirely. CartMango does that single job for a lot less: coupons and order bumps on every plan, free right now, then from $10 a year when paid plans start in November.
