Kajabi is an excellent course platform. Lessons, modules, drip schedules, member portals. Webinars? They're a bolted-on afterthought. Basic live streaming, automated 'replays' with no real chat sync, no multiple offers in one webinar, no live-feel replay with always-next-session scheduling.
If you run webinars to sell your Kajabi course, you need a webinar-first tool that plugs into Kajabi for the live layer. Heatcord is that tool. Keep Kajabi for course hosting; use Heatcord for the webinar funnel.
Where Kajabi falls short for webinars
No live-feel replay with always-next-session scheduling
Kajabi replays are on-demand: viewer watches when they show up. No 'new session every 30 min' that creates fake urgency.
Chat is basic
No chat persistence on refresh, no late-joiner sync, no chat replay on automated.
No multiple offers in one webinar at-the-minute
You set one CTA per webinar. No tripwire-then-main-offer cadence.
Webinar registration is a generic form
No dedicated webinar sign-up page builder with the patterns webinars need (countdown, scarcity, mobile optimisation).
Pricing starts at $179/mo Basic (monthly) or $143/mo billed annually
Kajabi Basic is $179/mo monthly ($143/mo annual) with 2,500 contacts and 5 products. Heatcord Pro is $129/mo for 4 active webinars.
No EU data residency option
Kajabi is US-hosted. If you sell into Europe, GDPR is your problem.

FAQ
Should I drop Kajabi entirely?
No, keep Kajabi for course hosting if your clients already learn there. Heatcord plugs in for the webinar funnel. Sign-up, live event, replay drip, sales. Your Kajabi course stays the destination.
Does Heatcord host course lessons?
No, we're not in the course-hosting category. Use Kajabi, Teachable, Podia, or LearnWorlds for that. Heatcord owns the webinar layer only.
How do attendees from Heatcord webinars get into my Kajabi course?
After they buy in the Heatcord room (Stripe Connect), they get a Kajabi member invite via webhook. Heatcord wires this up during your week-1 migration.
