No-Code Solution Lets Users Host Customized Native Apps on App Store and Google Play
Kajabi, a video and web hosting platform for content creators to sell online courses, has announced the official launch of its no-code branded mobile app offering. This innovative solution allows users to host their own customized native apps through the App Store and Google Play.
A New Era in Mobile App Development
The new product builds upon Kajabi’s existing mobile app for hosting online courses, but takes it a step further by providing creators with complete control over the user experience. With this offering, users can customize their app’s icon, login screen, layout, and content, including:
- Welcome screens
- Explore pages
- Push notifications
- Custom links
- Carousels featuring online courses
- In-app purchases (bundle offers)
- An AI chat assistant that can be trained to answer questions and integrated into the app
"Our North Star has always been to increase commerce for creators," says Sean Kim, Kajabi’s chief product officer and former head of product at TikTok. "Whether we’re helping you make your first dollar, reach profitability, or reach financial freedom, all of our resources are pointed towards this goal. The branded mobile app is the latest product we offer that helps our customers increase commerce, as well as reach their businesses."
A Highly Requested Feature Among Creators
Branded apps were highly requested among creators, and according to Kajabi user data, 62% of creators believe that a branded app is crucial for their businesses. Fifty-five percent said they’re willing to pay up to $100/month for a custom-branded app.
Testing with Over 800 Beta Users
Kajabi has been testing the product with over 800 beta users and is now available to all Kajabi users. Compared to the traditional app development process, which can take six months and cost upward of $60,000, Kajabi argues its offering is a cost-effective solution.
A Reassuring Proposition for Creators
"This product has been incredibly well-received by our customers," Kim adds. "We’re thrilled to be able to offer this innovative solution that will help them take their business to the next level."
What Kajabi Offers
Kajabi offers three subscriptions:
- Basic ($149/month)
- Growth ($199/month)
- Pro ($399/month)
Currently, Kajabi only supports the sale of courses as one-time purchases, not subscriptions. However, that will soon change.
A Community and Coaching Products
The company is also planning to offer community and coaching products as in-app purchases. Apple and Google charge 30% for all in-app purchases, while companies making under $1 million annually are only charged 15%.
Features and Updates
Kajabi will continue to improve and add features, with all apps being automatically updated. Planned updates include:
- Customizable widgets that can be integrated into the app
- Offline viewing
- Interactive quizzes
- Personalized experiences
The Competition
Kajabi joins many other competitors in the no-code app-building space, including Wix, Bubble, Vidapp, Passionfruit, and Passionfruit.
Conclusion
With Kajabi’s branded mobile app offering, content creators can now host their own customized native apps through the App Store and Google Play. This innovative solution provides complete control over the user experience and is a cost-effective alternative to traditional app development.
