Kajabi has expanded its extended free trial to include all of its plans.
No matter whether you’re a complete beginner or seasoned pro, you can pick a plan to match and use it free for 30 days.
Key Takeaways:
- Save between $89 and $399, depending on which plan you choose
- The trial does not include emailing
- Kajabi also has a 30-day money-back guarantee
Which Kajabi Plan Should You Choose for the 30-Day Free Trial?
Kajabi has four plans designed to suit wherever you are on your business journey.
While you can sign up for a free trial on any plan, choosing the right one will save you the hassle of downgrading or upgrading once your free trial ends.
Kickstarter Free Trial
Kickstarter is Kajabi’s entry-level plan, and it’s definitely for those just starting out.
Since it’s the cheapest option (starting at $89 per month), it has the most restrictions. You can only send up to 7,500 emails per month and create and sell a single product plus a community.
If you’ve already got a business up and running, you’ll find that the plan limits are too low. And if you want to sell more than one product, this is not the right option for you.
Basic Plan Free Trial
The Basic plan (starting at $149 per month) has more generous plan limits than Kickstarter, but I still think it’s too restrictive for established businesses.
Yes, you get unlimited marketing emails, but you’re still limited to only three products and can only add 10,000 contacts.
Personally, I don’t think it’s much of an upgrade from the Kickstarter plan, but it can be useful if you already have a healthy email list and want a bit more flexibility over the number of products you create.
Growth Plan Free Trial
The Growth plan (from $199 per month) is a good middle ground, and I’d say it’s ideal for new and established businesses.
You get a significant jump in the product limit (15), which is more than enough for most people. The contact limit also goes up to 25,000, so you can develop larger marketing campaigns.
Given there’s only a $50 price difference between Basic and Growth, I’d say Growth offers way better value overall.
Pro Plan Free Trial
Now, we reach the top-tier plan. The Pro plan (starting at $399 per month) is really only for those who have an established business set up and running and want a platform that lets them diversify and scale.
Here, you get up to 100 products, 100,000 contacts, and three websites.
This is not a good option for beginners because of the high price. And I’d say that it will take a new business a good while before it needs feature limits like the ones offered on Pro.
Plan Restrictions During the Kajabi Free Trial
No matter which plan you opt for, you cannot use the emailing feature during the free trial.
You can certainly play around with the email builder and set up campaigns, but when you click “send,” it won’t work.
As soon as you’ve paid for a plan, however, the feature will become fully available.

What Happens When the Free Trial Ends?
Hopefully, by the time the free trial ends, you’ll have launched your business and already be making sales!
From a less interesting perspective, as soon as the trial ends, Kajabi will charge you for whichever plan you chose, and your subscription will start for real.
Oh, and you’ll be able to send emails, too!
Three Things You Can Do During the Free Trial
Don’t want to pay the full subscription fee at the end of the trial? Well, there are three things you can do before it expires.
Cancel the Trial (and Your Account)
You can cancel your subscription at any point during the free trial. Just head into Settings > Subscription > Change Plan.
You’ll find the itty-bitty cancellation link at the bottom of the screen. Click it and you’ll be asked a couple of questions about why you’re canceling before confirming you wish to leave Kajabi.
Pause Your Account
Parking your account is the best option if you don’t want to pay a full subscription fee yet but also don’t want to lose all your data in Kajabi.
It essentially places your account on pause. So, you can’t edit, create, or use any of the features, but anything you have created so far will remain intact.
Parking costs $29 per month, and you can fully reactivate your account anytime.
You’ll also find this option in Settings > Subscription > Change Plan.
Downgrade or Upgrade Your Plan
The final thing you can do is change your plan by either upgrading, downgrading, or changing your subscription frequency (monthly to annually or vice versa).
However, I don’t recommend doing this until your trial is about to expire. The reason is that Kajabi will end the trial and immediately charge you for your new plan.
Can You Extend the Kajabi Free Trial?
You can’t officially extend the Kajabi free trial. But that’s not to say it can’t be done.
There are two surefire ways to get another 30 days and one “maybe” way.
30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
The first and easiest way to extend the free trial is to take advantage of the 30-day money-back guarantee.
After your initial trial expires, you will be charged your first subscription fee. As long as you request a refund within 30 days of the payment, Kajabi will fully refund you.
The obvious drawback is that you have to pay first, then get the money back. However, I’ve tried this before, and it worked—no questions asked. The only inconvenience was that the money took a few days to arrive back into my account.
To take advantage of this, contact Kajabi via their live chat widget or email them at billing@kajabi.com and make the request.
Sign Up for Another Free Trial
Nothing is stopping you from canceling your current free trial and then using a different email address to sign up for a brand new one.
You can do this as many times as you want, but you’ll need a fresh email address for each new trial. Also, realize that you’ll lose all the data from your existing trial and have to start from scratch again.
I only recommend doing this if you didn’t really do much with your initial trial period, like if you forgot to use it or didn’t have time, for example.
However, if you’ve created loads of products, campaigns, etc., you probably won’t want to go down this route.
Try Asking Customer Support
The final way you can try is to ask customer support (very nicely) if they’ll extend the free trial for you.
Remember, they are under no obligation to do this, so they may refuse. But it’s worth a try.
Have a solid reason why you’re asking for the extension. Don’t try to fake it. Support can easily see if you’re already making sales or bringing in leads.
Even the automated chatbot suggests contacting support to ask for an extension, which shows there is some hope!
