Conclusion
It is hard to choose one of the two top companies in the online teaching industry. Still, I would like to recommend Kajabi to people looking to start an online teaching business and new to this industry. Kajabi allows a person to try their site free for 14 days and provides an application feature.
Otherwise, even Teachable is good enough to start teaching online. Still, the only drawback that I feel is that their compulsory paid plans feature can be challenging for someone who does not have enough budget for the startup of their teaching business.
If we put back this one feature, then Teachable is a great application to start your online teaching business as they guarantee to pre-sell your content or videos within 30 days.
