What each is built for
- Skool is community-first: posts, a classroom for courses, a calendar, and levels that reward members for taking part. Every group looks like Skool, and members can discover other groups there.
- Kajabi is course-business-first: courses, a website, email marketing, sales pages and a community, under your own branding.
- Deedmade™ gives you both sides, the course business and the community, in your own members app with your name and icon, on your own accounts. You pay once.

Owning has cost less from month 26. After that, renting keeps going and owning doesn't.
Owning still has small running costs: the card fee on each sale (as anywhere), your domain, and hosting that's free or about $5 a month. And you can try it before paying anything: build yours free in early access and see it working first.
How to choose
- Skool if your members mainly come for each other and you want to start this week.
- Kajabi if you sell courses and need a website and email list, and accept a monthly bill.
- Deedmade™ if you want the course and the community together, with your own brand and member list, and no rent.

Prices of other companies are approximate, from their own pricing pages on October 11, 2026, and they change. Where a page shows a monthly price that is billed a year at a time, we say so. Check their websites for today's prices.
