We contacted Kajabi directly to see if we could obtain more information about the transfer. Kajabi provided this response:
The course on Kajabi University wasn’t mentioned in the email response. Kajabi advises that you can transfer a custom domain and contacts.
You can do a bulk upload if you need to upload videos in the transfer, but it would appear that any other content would need to be re-created from scratch.
Why Should I Transfer to Kajabi from Thinkific?
If you’re looking for an all-in-one platform, then Kajabi is generally considered to be superior to Thinkific.
While Thinkific is a great platform for creating online courses, it does not have the same range of features as Kajabi relating to sales and marketing.
Thinkific doesn’t have the capacity for email marketing, creating a blog, or building out sales funnels. So, while the platform may be more cost-effective than Kajabi, you will almost certainly need to pay for additional third-party software to cover these gaps.
