The #1 Alternative to ConvertKit

KARTRA IS THE BEST ALL-IN-ONE MARKETING PLATFORM THAT MAKES IT RIDICULOUSLY EASY TO BUILD &  SCALE YOUR ENTIRE ONLINE BUSINESS FAST!

At first glance, Kartra and ConvertKit may look similar.
 

Both are powerful automation tools that send your emails and help you generate leads. But, that’s where the comparison ends. Because, while ConvertKit does email automation well, there’s a LOT more to running a successful business.

 

ConvertKit doesn’t offer help desk features, membership sites, built-in ecommerce, affiliate management, scheduling tools or video hosting — all of which are crucial to success. Their most advanced and expensive plan lacks some of the most important features for running a business, forcing users to fork out dough elsewhere and set up tricky integrations.

 

Not to mention, ConvertKit is geared towards very small businesses with under 5,000 subscribers. This means that once you experience success, you’ll have the headache of moving over to a new tool, or forking out a LOT of cash for their custom plans.

 

If you’re ready to get a solution that not only sends your emails, but does everything else you need to run your business, then look no further than Kartra. Kartra takes care of emails, landing pages, customer support, affiliates, premium video, membership sites, checkouts, and a million other things.

 

In fact, Kartra clients rave about how much money they save with Kartra because the HUGE feature-list allows them to cancel all their other marketing tool subscriptions.

Kartra ADVANTAGES

SEE WHY THOUSANDS ARE CHOOSING THE ALL-IN-ONE PLATFORM, KARTRA

E-Commerce


If you have any hope of making money online, you’re going to need to sell stuff. And to sell stuff, you need an ecommerce tool. But there’s a small problem; ConvertKit doesn’t include an ecommerce tool — you’ll need to purchase a separate tool like Shopify, or WooCommerce, and set up tricky integrations, just for this essential function.

 

Kartra, however, comes with ecommerce built right in.

 

We give you multiple payment options and price points, to make it easier than ever for your customer to check out. To draw new customers in, Kartra empowers you to create coupons, trials, and initial payments. In order to maximize each sale, Kartra allows you to create order bumps and one-click upsells with ease.

 

And if someone abandons your cart during purchase? Well, Kartra can tag them and automagically follow up, saving you the sale.

Video Marketing


  • It's no secret that video marketing is important to a business — after all, marketers who use video grow revenue 49% faster than non-video users. So why would you want to waste your budget on a platform like ConvertKit where you’ll need to purchase a third-party plugin, like Wistia or Vimeo, to even add a basic video to your page.

     

    Kartra reliably hosts your videos with a customizable player, complete with advanced in-video actions so you can get more conversions, shares, and sales. You can add compelling CTAs and opt-in forms at any point while the video is playing, as well as automatically tags viewers based on their behavior.

     

    Customer didn’t watch the whole video? No problem. The tags will show you that and instantly activate automations — such as sending a follow-up email, entering your viewer into a special offer campaign, subscribing them to a list and more — giving you more chances to convert leads to customers.

Membership Sites


Membership sites aren't just a way to deliver content to your customers; they are one of the most reliable sources of steady, passive income each month that a business owner can have.

 

Yet, ConvertKit doesn't even have membership site capabilities. In fact, you’ll need to purchase an additional plugin like Memberful just to manage memberships (just pile it on to your increasingly hefty monthly bills).

 

Kartra not only makes it easy for you to deliver and time release (drip) your valuable content to your customers, but we also offer a specific portal to manage and analyze your members and their behaviors. With Kartra's flexibility and simplicity, just imagine how quickly you can grow your business by offering your products in memberships.

Helpdesk


It costs FIVE times as much to acquire a new customer than to retain an existing one — that's why customer service is vital to your business's success.  Except, ConvertKit currently doesn’t have a built-in helpdesk — meaning you'll need to purchase yet another 3rd party software.

 

Fortunately, with Kartra... our help desk is built right into our platform! This allows you to easily provide immediate customer support via live chat, and our built-in email reply system will make your customers feel heard and help resolve issues as fast as humanly possible.

Calendars


If you’re a consultant, coach, or just want to host live events, you need a simple and intuitive calendar tool where your customers can check, schedule and self-manage their appointments on their own. Except, with ConvertKit, you’ll need to purchase a separate calendar software in order to do this.

 

But the hassle (and the extra bill) can be avoided with Kartra’s built-in Calendar functionality — this allows your clients to self-book and reschedule based on your availability, and even sends automated reminders, so no appointment is ever forgotten.

 

Moreover, since Kartra Calendars and Kartra Checkouts are part of the same family, you can charge for your sessions straight from within the Calendar App — ensuring your time is always worth something.

Affiliate Management


Imagine building an army of people that all enthusiastically promote your product on a daily basis and create a lasting impact on your overall sales! This is called affiliate marketing, and to convince people to sell your products your affiliate process should be seamless and exciting...

 

Unfortunately, ConvertKit ignores this massively important aspect of business growth. Alternatively, Kartra comes with built-in affiliate management, complete with questionnaires, automated payments, minimum sales requirements, and more. This ensures you’re finding quality people for the job, without spending extra time shuffling payments around.

 

Are you interested in gaining residual income as well? Well, unlike ConvertKit, Kartra offers an awesome affiliate marketplace to both FIND affiliates to sell your products AND become one yourself! And what if you really love Kartra and want to promote our product? Well, we offer you 40% commission on affiliate sales, while ConvertKit gives only 30%.

Why Business Owners Like You Made the Switch

Why not get rid of thinkific and just use Kartra for everything. I did and love it! I had learndash, convertkit, was going to get Sam cart, clickfunnels, but then found kartra and moved everything to kartra and got rid of the rest.

Been tallying up the cost of all the stuff I've had to subscribe to (LeadPages, ConvertKit, Vimeo, Teachable etc) and I end up saving over $65 a month with the (basic) starter level in Kartra!

Kartra User

I have been on ConvertKit (which is great) for years and IS for while. I'm in the process of moving everything over to Kartra. Ease of use, integration, and price all play a role. I'm saving about $700 a month using Kartra to replace several other systems (ConvertKit, SamCart, and a few others.) It's amazing all the features I am getting all in one place for such a great price.

All those features AND Kartra saves you money?!


At first glance, ConvertKit looks like a steal...only $25/month! But, that’s only if you have under 1000 subscribers. Which is fine and well when you’re starting out...but what if you grow? You’ll very rapidly be bumped up to their higher price points.

 

And that’s before you even consider that ConvertKit is lacking about SIX critical tools, meaning you’ll have to purchase them elsewhere and then configure complicated integrations.

 

Let’s do the math on those, shall we? An ecommerce platform (so you can actually sell your stuff) costs about $99/month. Add an affiliate management software so you can have other people promoting you and you'll need another $100-$200 a month.

 

How about membership sites or e-learning platforms? That’s another $99 a month. If you want a professional video hosting platform, an account for for Wistia will run you about $99 a month.

 

The leading help desk platforms will cost you $99 per month per agent. And if you want to schedule appointments, you’ll need a calendar tool for another $15 a month.That’s about $500-$600 EXTRA each month you’ll need to pay for a full suite of business tools.

 

Before you know it, that $25 quickly adds up to hundreds of dollars a month.

 

Kartra, on the other hand, gives you ALL of the above features, no matter the package you select – ultimately saving you a lot of cash.
