Branded Mobile Apps

Branded Apps are white-labeled mobile apps customized with your own branding, built and maintained for you by Kajabi. 

Instead of directing your members to download the Kajabi app, they can download your app by searching for your name in the app store. Brand your app with your own logo and color, and increase customer engagement with on-demand push notifications. We’ll build and maintain the app for you, all without hiring an expensive app developer.


Add an app to your subscription plan

To get started creating a Branded App, you’ll first need to add a Branded App to your Kajabi subscription plan. You can add a Branded App featuring your Courses, Coaching and your Kajabi Community for an additional $199/month above your base plan cost.

Not interested in featuring a Community in your app? You can alternately add a Branded App featuring Courses and Coaching only for just $89/month above your base plan cost.

Note:
If you have multiple sites in your Kajabi account, the Branded App will be attached to the site you are on when you confirm the add-on. Make sure you go to the desired site for your app before confirming your subscription changes.

To add a Branded App to your plan:

  • Select Branded Mobile App from your Kajabi dashboard.
  • Click Start for free:

What to expect during the app creation process

After you confirm your subscription changes to add a Branded App to your Kajabi plan, you’ll be directed to a screen to complete your app setup.

Step 1: App name and branding setup

The setup form will provide detailed instructions to guide you through the process of setting up your Branded App.

  • Choose your app name
  • Pick your accent color
  • Choose a course for the app review process

Once your developer accounts are approved, make sure to check the boxes in your Branded App dashboard and click Done:

Step 3: Book onboarding call

  • Schedule an onboarding call with Kajabi support to start building your apps

On this call, we will review your accounts to make sure we have everything needed to start building your apps directly in your developer accounts. Once your apps are live, you will be notified by the team.

After your app is live, the Branded App tab in your Kajabi account will be updated. You can set up your welcome screen, add an onboarding carousel, customize your home screen, add custom links, and/or update your app settings on the Branded App “Design” page.


Billing FAQ

Will my app add-on subscription be prorated?

If you’re on a monthly Kajabi base plan subscription, you’ll be charged a prorated amount for the remaining time left in the current billing cycle when you sign up for the app add-on. 

If you’re on an annual Kajabi base plan, the app will be added on as a new monthly subscription and your billing month for the app will begin right away (your base plan billing cycle will not be affected).

What if I want to upgrade, downgrade, or cancel my app add-on?

You can upgrade your Branded App subscription at any time in your Kajabi Billing Settings. To cancel or downgrade your Branded App add-on, please contact bma.support@kajabi.com.

Can I switch my Kajabi base plan if I have an app add-on?

You can still change your base plan in your Kajabi Billing Settings.

What if I have an app add-on and I want to park my plan?

If you choose to park your Kajabi base plan, your Branded App add-on will be canceled. To park your Kajabi plan and cancel your Branded App add-on, please contact bma.support@kajabi.com.
