Kajabi, rebuilt for one country's language and one country's laws — $68K a month from the market the incumbents can't be bothered to comply with.
Fewer bars = easier, cheaper, or faster for an AI-assisted solo builder. Editorial judgments based on the case details.
The last app in Jason Lee's teardown is a course-creation platform for online coaches, doing $68,000 a month. Structurally it is a Kajabi or Teachable clone — the category is mature, the incumbents are large and well funded, and on paper there is no room. Except this one only serves France. Lee's framing of why the gap exists is the most useful sentence in the entire video: "A lot of the big platforms like Kajabi, they don't follow the local laws of the country cuz it would be insane to try to be compliant to every country. And these guys saw that opportunity and built a version of that that complies with French laws." He walks the site on screen. It is entirely in French — not a translated version of an English product, but a product written in French for French customers. He translates it live to show what they lead with: hosted in France, GDPR compliant, explicitly local. His read: "That's something that probably the big players are not going to bother doing." Our read: this is not a localisation play, it is a compliance-arbitrage play, and the distinction matters. Translation is a feature any incumbent can add in a quarter. Legal and hosting compliance for a single jurisdiction is a permanent operating cost that a global platform will rationally refuse to take on for a market that is 2% of its revenue.

The $68K/month figure comes from the revenue-tracking tools he uses across the video, not from the company. He shows the site and translates its positioning on screen, which confirms the French-market and GDPR/local-hosting claims, but pricing, customer count, team size, costs, and acquisition channels are never disclosed. The specific regulatory obligations named in this entry (VAT handling, invoicing format, training-sector certification) are our own analysis of what a French coaching business faces, not claims made in the video.
