The Kajabi alternative
that lets you keep 100%.
Kajabi is a broad course-and-marketing suite with a higher monthly cost. Drry focuses on the essentials creators actually use, courses, community, and payments, and starts free.
Drry vs Kajabi, side by side

|---|---|---|
| Free plan | Yes. 100 members, 5 GB, unlimited courses, and the community feed. No card. | Free trial only, no free plan. |
| Fee on your member payments | 0%. You keep 100%, only Stripe's standard processing fee applies. | Even through Kajabi's own processor, subscriptions carry an extra 0.7% recurring-payment fee on top of card processing, and that processor keeps your billing locked to Kajabi.

| Funnels + landing pages | Built in: compose landing pages from proven sections and see views, joins, and revenue per funnel. 1 free, unlimited on paid plans. | Yes, funnels and landing pages on every plan, inside a suite that runs $89 to $499 a month. |
| Your own brand and domain | Your own address like grace.drry.com on free; you can connect your own domain plus white label (no Drry branding, the site is 100% yours) on paid plans. | Custom domain on paid plans. |
| Knowing who is showing up | See who is showing up, who is drifting away, which content people love, and how many finish each course. Included on Creator ($29/mo). | Advanced analytics reserved for the highest tiers. |
| Where pricing starts | Free, then $29/mo (Creator), $99/mo (Growth). | A higher monthly fee. |

Why creators pick Drry
- Keep 100% of member payments. Only Stripe's standard processing fee applies, we take nothing on top.
- Payments run through your own Stripe account, so your customers and subscriptions belong to you, not the platform. No payment lock-in.
- Funnels built in: fast landing pages on your domain with views, joins, and revenue attributed per page. Standalone funnel tools charge $49 to $97 a month for less.
- A genuinely free tier: 100 members, 5 GB storage, unlimited courses, and the community feed, with no card required.
- Courses, a community feed, members, and payments in one branded space you own.
- Your own address like grace.drry.com out of the box, with custom domain and white label (no Drry branding, the site is 100% yours) on paid tiers.
- Member analytics on the $29 Creator plan: who is showing up, what is landing, and who is quietly drifting away. The kind of insight other platforms save for their priciest plans.
Drry vs Kajabi, questions
Is Drry a cheaper Kajabi alternative?
Yes. Drry starts free and the paid Creator plan is $29/mo, well below typical all-in-one suites, with community included.
Do I get courses and community in one place?
Yes. Drry includes video courses and a community feed in the same branded space, no add-ons.
Does Drry take a percentage of my sales?
No. You keep 100% of member payments; only Stripe's processing fee applies.
Do I own my payment relationship with members?
Yes. Drry payments run through your own Stripe account, so your customers and their subscriptions belong to you, not to us. Kajabi's 0% claim requires Kajabi Payments, which keeps your billing inside Kajabi and still adds a 0.7% recurring-payment fee on subscriptions on top of card processing.
Do I get analytics without a top-tier plan?
Yes. Drry's $29 Creator plan shows you who is active, which content people love, how many finish each course, and who is drifting away. Kajabi reserves its deeper reporting for higher tiers.
