Why pay for an all-in-one platform when familiar tools are free individually?
Because 30–40% of customers can drop off between Zoom, Stripe and Mailchimp. SelfGrow supports the full journey.
Comparison across key criteria
| Criterion | SelfGrow | Zoom + Stripe + Mailchimp | Kajabi / Thinkific |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost to get started | No-card trial | Multiple subscriptions + your time | Higher entry cost, less live focus |
| Setup time | Hours | Days or weeks of integrations | Days for migration |
| Live sessions + courses in one place | Yes | No | Partial / limited |
| Automatic time-zone sync | Yes | Manual | Depends on the stack |
| Local payments (EveryPay/Montonio) | Yes | You assemble it yourself | Often limited |
| Developer or Zapier required | No | Often yes | Sometimes yes |
What you save in practice
Instead of connecting 4–5 services, an expert can launch registration, payment and access to learning materials from one dashboard — with less manual work and fewer drop-offs between steps.
- One customer journey: interest → payment → learning dashboard
- A live session does not disappear: its recording becomes a course lesson
- EU legal entity and support for a transparent start
Common questions
Why not put together free tools myself?
You can. But you pay with time, the risk of customer drop-off and the effort of supporting a patchwork of tools. SelfGrow provides a ready-to-use journey.
How is SelfGrow different from Kajabi or Thinkific?
SelfGrow focuses on connecting live events with evergreen courses through the Live → Asset bridge, along with local payment options for the Baltics and EU.
Is it too early to use a new platform?
At an early stage, you receive more attention and can help shape the product. A registered EU company, payment providers and a no-card trial help reduce risk.
