The gap is widest on ChatGPT, where Thinkific is clearly favoured: Kajabi is recommended 60% of the time and Thinkific 80%. Because each engine draws on different sources, a brand can lead on one and trail on another — which is why it pays to track all three rather than assume one result holds everywhere.
In practice, an AI assistant asked “What is the best platform for creating and selling online courses?” is more likely to put Thinkific on its shortlist. Both are in the running, but the more consistently a brand is described the same way across the web, the more confidently the models name it.
