The Verdict
Criteo is built for ecommerce retailers and d2c brands, with a focus on dynamic-retargeting and product-recommendations. Kajabi targets established creators and knowledge entrepreneurs and leads with course-builder and marketing-funnels.
Criteo uses custom enterprise pricing, while Kajabi starts at $69/mo — a tangible advantage for teams with a fixed budget.
Neither tool offers a free plan, so factor the subscription cost into your decision from the start.
Kajabi edges out on user ratings (4.5 vs 4). While both are well-regarded, that gap reflects real differences in user satisfaction worth considering.
Feature-wise, Kajabi offers broader built-in capabilities (8 features vs 6), while Criteo takes a more focused approach — which can mean a simpler, faster onboarding experience.
Both tools are a solid fit for agencies — in those cases, the decision often comes down to workflow style and how your team prefers to organize work.
Bottom line: Kajabi has a slight overall edge — but if excellent retargeting performance matters most to you, Criteo may still be the right call.
