Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Kajabi

  • Starter plan limited to 1 product, 1 community, and 1 website; requires upgrade for scaling
  • Starter and Basic tiers support only 1 community each; Growth tier caps at 1 community (Pro tier reaches 3)
  • Payment processing fees 2.9%–2.7% (Kajabi Payments) plus 5%–0.5% for third-party providers, tiered by plan
  • Admin user allowances escalate significantly: Starter (default 1), Basic (2), Growth (11), Pro (26)

Schoox

  • High workforce churn punishes any per registered user pricing, and organisations that do not actively archive leavers end up billed for a population far larger than their headcount.
  • Enterprise analytics and competency modelling are lighter than in office focused corporate platforms, so buyers arriving from that market find reporting shallower than expected.
  • Franchise deployments depend on franchisee cooperation that the franchisor cannot compel, so completion rates vary by location in ways the platform reports but cannot fix.
  • Staff use personal phones and personal data allowances in many deployments, which raises fairness and in some jurisdictions legal questions the vendor does not resolve for you.
  • Integration with human resources and scheduling systems is where most implementation time goes, and stale employee feeds produce training assigned to leavers and missed for new starters.

Schoox: Why does the pricing unit matter so much here?

Schoox: Can staff without a company email address use it?

Yes. That is a core design assumption in this segment, and accounts can be provisioned without corporate email.

Kajabi: How many contacts can I store on each Kajabi plan?

Basic plan supports 2,500 contacts, Growth plan supports 25,000 contacts, and Pro plan supports 100,000 contacts with unlimited products and 3 communities.

Source
Schoox: Does it work for franchise networks?

Yes. Central content with local administration by franchisee is a standard configuration, though completion still depends on franchisee cooperation rather than on the software.
