What Mentevo adds that Kajabi doesn't
Essential features for anyone selling to an Arabic-speaking audience.
Arabic RTL interface
A full Arabic UI with right-to-left layout. Kajabi has none.
Egyptian payment gateways
Kashier, Paymob, and Alex Bank built in for local card and instalment payments.
Vodafone Cash and Orange Money
The mobile-wallet methods most Egyptian students actually pay with.
WhatsApp automation
Drip messages, course reminders, and one-click student outreach over WhatsApp.
Bilingual certificates
Beautiful Arabic typography on every certificate — not a Latin-only fallback.
AI tools in Arabic (27 modules)
Course outlines, quiz generation, video transcription — all in Arabic.
Sales page templates in Arabic
Ready-to-customise Arabic landing pages that read and convert correctly.
1:1 consultation booking
Built-in calendar with Arabic dates so coaches can sell time alongside courses.
Pricing in EGP
List and charge in Egyptian Pounds — no forced USD conversion fees for your students.
What Kajabi does well
Let's be fair — not everything is bad.
Mature marketing tools
Email sequences, funnels, and landing pages all built in.
Funnel builder saves time
Useful if you sell in English to a US audience.
Community features
Build a membership alongside courses with built-in community tools.
Where Kajabi falls short for MENA trainers
These aren't minor gaps — they're fundamental things your students need that the platform doesn't offer.
No Arabic interface
Every menu, button, and notification is English-only. Arabic-first students churn fast.
With Mentevo
Mentevo ships with a fully translated Arabic UI — every screen, every email, every error message.
No RTL layout
Arabic text displays left-to-right, which looks broken and unprofessional to your students.
With Mentevo
Mentevo is RTL-native: layouts, icons, animations all flip correctly so Arabic content reads as intended.
No Egyptian payment gateways
No Kashier, no Paymob, no Egypt e-wallets. Card-only checkout that many Egyptian buyers can't complete.
With Mentevo
Kashier and Paymob are first-class. Add Egypt e-wallets, instalments, and bank transfer with one click.
No EGP pricing
Students must pay in USD and absorb 3-5% conversion fees on top of the course price.
With Mentevo
List in EGP, charge in EGP, settle in EGP — no surprise FX surcharges for your students.
No mobile wallet support
Vodafone Cash and Orange Money — the most common payment methods in Egypt — are unavailable.
With Mentevo
Mentevo accepts Vodafone Cash, Orange Money, and other MENA mobile wallets out of the box.
No WhatsApp integration
The main communication channel in MENA is completely ignored. Email open rates here are low.
With Mentevo
Built-in WhatsApp automation: enrolment confirmations, lesson reminders, marketing drips, support.
Steep US-priced plans
Starts at $89/month and jumps to $179 for the mid-tier — costly for trainers just getting started, with no MENA-priced option.
With Mentevo
Mentevo starts at $49/mo (or EGP 1,500/mo) with regional pricing — save $480+/year while gaining Arabic and local payments.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. We import your Kajabi courses, students, and certificates and rebuild them on Mentevo, usually within a few days. Kajabi media export is limited, so our team handles the heavy lifting.
Kajabi is a premium all-in-one platform at 89 to 149 USD per month and up, built around US marketing funnels. For MENA creators that is a lot to pay for tools you cannot fully use: there is no Arabic RTL and no local checkout such as Paymob, Fawry, or Vodafone Cash. You pay top dollar and still lose Arabic-speaking buyers at the payment step.
Substantially. Kajabi starts at 89 USD per month and jumps to 149 USD and higher. Mentevo Starter is 49 USD per month, with local pricing from EGP 1,500 per month, roughly half the cost, before you count the sales Kajabi loses you through USD-only checkout.
You gain Arabic RTL, Egyptian payment gateways, WhatsApp automation, bilingual certificates, and Arabic-native AI tools. Kajabi marketing funnels and email suite are more mature, so if your growth depends on US-style funnels you will notice that. If your growth depends on reaching Arabic audiences and getting paid locally, Mentevo wins.
No. Build on Mentevo while Kajabi stays live, then redirect your domain and announce the move, with zero downtime.
