The #1 Alternative to Kajabi
KARTRA IS THE BEST ALL-IN-ONE MARKETING PLATFORM THAT MAKES IT RIDICULOUSLY EASY TO BUILD AND SCALE YOUR ONLINE BUSINESS FAST… WITH TONS OF EXTRA FEATURES AT A MORE AFFORDABLE PRICE.
When it comes to building a membership site, Kajabi does it, and they do it well. In fact, users around the world will praise their membership site capabilities.
But running a business is a lot more than just a membership site,
and that’s where things start to go downhill with Kajabi.
Despite claiming they are an “all-in-one tool,” they don’t offer help desk features and scheduling tools — both of which are crucial to success. And, even where they do offer features, such as affiliate tools or video functionality, they’re lacking in power and analytics.
And that’s if you’re on a plan that even offers all the functionality.
Their most affordable plan cuts out affiliate tools, automations, and the theme editor, so you have to shell out for other additional platforms, just to do the basic functions every business needs.
Not only will costs quickly add up, but too many integrations will confuse analytics, preventing you from getting a full picture of how your business is performing.
If you’re ready to get a solution that not only builds your membership sites, 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 KARTRA OVER KAJABI
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, Kajabi currently doesn’t have a built-in helpdesk — meaning you'll need to purchase yet another 3rd party software.
Fortunately, with Kartra... our helpdesk 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 Kajabi, 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, the Kajabi affiliate portal is only available to higher-priced plans, and even if you pay for those plans, Kajabi doesn’t have screening tools built-in for affiliates or automated payments.
Alternatively, Kartra comes with built-in affiliate questionnaires, and you can set up payments to automatically go out to all affiliates, only certain affiliates of your choosing, and/or only after a minimum amount of sales is made. 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 Kajabi, 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 and Kajabi only offers their affiliates 30%....
If you’re new to affiliate marketing and need additional help, don’t worry! All of our affiliates are assigned a dedicated affiliate manager that’s on call to offer you any additional support you may need!
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 with only the most basic video functionality? While Kajabi automatically integrates with Wistia, it doesn’t include clickable CTAs — like a buy button during your pitch or an opt-in form for that free download — directly on your video. It also doesn’t include share to unlock features or triggerable automations based on how long someone watched your video for.
Kartra, on the other hand, 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.
Robust Reporting
Did you know companies who use data-driven marketing are 6X more likely to be profitable year over year? That’s why detailed analytics are more important than ever.
However, Kajabi doesn’t offer split testing, leaving you in the dark about which campaigns are working and which aren’t. And there are no tracking links so you won’t know where your traffic is coming from (and what they do once they get there).
And for every tool that doesn’t exist within the platform, you’ll need to collect and distill results from the integrations you use, all of which use different methods of data display. Not to mention, you’re risking some major data transfer errors if the integrations aren’t connecting properly.
On the other hand, all of Kartra’s analytics are unified and talk seamlessly with every other part of Kartra, all the time. This means Kartra knows if your forms are converting and if your videos are being viewed, and Kartra knows if your page is getting a lot of visitors, but not a lot of sales. Kartra even gives you a complete lead history report, filled with every single interaction a lead has had with you online since joining your list.
That’s the full story in real time, so you can continue to make data-driven choices that ensure your success. That’s why detailed analytics are more important than ever.
Why Business Owners Like You Made the Switch
I’ve used both. Kajabi is great for selling courses/Membership site but that is about all. The UI of the membership portal is nicer but functionality overall is limited.
Kartra does everything Kajabi and [ClickFunnels] combined does plus more, at a better price. I switched from using Kajabi + Active Campaign + Convertri + ScheduleOnce to just using Kartra for it all - and haven’t looked back!
I was with Kajabi and moved this year to Kartra. I wanted to use one platform for website, emails, autoresponder. We could do some of that with Kajabi but not everything. Also it was expensive. We couldn't do A/B testing. I also wanted to collect shipping fees for my physical products and so on…
I see a lot of concern from new or potential Kartra users who are switching over from Thinkific, Kajabi or Teachable etc.
I moved over about 15 months ago now and I can tell you that having everything in one place outweighs any extra fancy features that the other platforms might have.
Last month I sold over $40k in online courses all with Kartra & Webinarjam and even managed to squeeze in a couple of holidays

All those features AND Kartra saves you money?!
Kajabi’s most affordable plan clocks in at $119/month when paid annually. That’s a whopping $40 more a month than the equivalent plan in Kartra. However, that’s before you add in an affiliate management system and an automation tool which aren’t included in Kajabi’s basic plan, along with a helpdesk platform, and a calendar scheduling tool.
That means, if you want ANY of those critical features for running a business, you’re going to have to open your wallet again and again to pay for software that integrates… before you know it, that $119/month price 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.

Kartra seamlessly integrates all the essential marketing tools your business needs in one super-easy, radically-affordable platform. Get ready to boost your bottom line from the very first login.
Got questions? We've got the answers!
Absolutely! Kartra is 100% PCI and GDPR compliant, using payment-gateway-sanctioned industry best practices to ensure that your shopping experience, and that of your customers, is a safe one.
"PCI security standards are technical and operational requirements set by the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) to protect cardholder data. The standards apply to all entities that store, process or transmit cardholder data – with guidance for software developers and manufacturers of applications and devices used in those transactions.
The Council is responsible for managing the security standards, while compliance with the PCI set of standards is enforced by the founding members of the Council, American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB International, MasterCard Worldwide and Visa Inc." (From “PCI DSS Quick Reference Guide” published by the PCI Security Standards Council™)
In other words, Kartra is as secure as a secure platform can be in this day and age. And as security standards and capabilities evolve, you can be sure that Kartra will be among the first platforms to incorporate them.
Are you ready? Here’s the entire list:
Best of all, Kartra’s tools are not merely basic versions. Oh, no. In fact, each Kartra tool is absolutely full-featured, giving you the functionality of the leading platforms in each individual category — plus effortless integration with all of Kartra’s other full-featured tools. It’s the most complete yet easy-to-use online business solution you’ll find anywhere.
Kartra not only gives you a complete suite of integrated sales and marketing tools that make it easy to build your emails, pages, opt-in forms, checkouts, and sales funnels. Kartra actually gives you complete sales funnels too — pre-built, beautifully designed and professionally copywritten by renowned internet marketing experts — ready for you to customize and activate in just minutes.
Kartra also gives you a complete set of ready-to-use, stunning design templates for creating new emails, pages, checkouts, opt-in forms and more. Between Kartra’s ease of use and all the done-for-you marketing assets we’ve included, you can literally launch your entire online business in just a few hours with Kartra.
Not with Kartra!
Instantly give your marketing assets that polished, professional look with Kartra’s wide variety of gorgeous templates for pages, emails, and forms.
Our team of expert graphic artists and internet marketing gurus have crafted these stunning designs to help you attract the most customers and maximize conversions effortlessly. It’s like having an elite marketing agency creating your assets for you — without any of the cost.
Easily customize these templates with your own copy, images, and colors, and launch your marketing assets in just minutes. No design skills needed.
Kartra is software hosted in the cloud, a.k.a. Software as a Service (SaaS). Which means we host the software for you. And you don’t have to download a thing. All you need is an internet-connected computing device (Mac, Windows, Chromebook, Linux PC), and a recent version of any of the major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, etc.). Then, simply navigate to app.kartra.com, log in with the credentials you received when you subscribed, and start building your online marketing machine!
Not at all. Kartra gives you several hosting options.
First of all, if you have your own domain name we have good news for you: you can plug it into Kartra so your landing pages, checkout pages, membership sites, helpdesk portals, etc are indeed displayed under your domain name.
Needless to say, Kartra also offers robust, reliable hosting for your Kartra-built pages. You can launch your online business presence right away without needing any other internet hosting account.
Plus, if you have your own internet hosting account and want to host your pages on those servers, that’s easy too.
Kartra generates straight HTML code for every page you build in Kartra. Just upload that code in a .html file via FTP to your host server and your page will become live. Whenever you make changes to a page, simply save a new .html file from Kartra and replace the previous one on your server via FTP.
And, if you have a site on WordPress, Kartra also gives you a one-line JavaScript code for every Kartra page. Just paste this code into a blank WordPress page and publish. Your Kartra page will be part of your WordPress site, and look exactly as you designed it in Kartra. Better still, whenever you make any updates to your page in Kartra, those updates will automatically be made in your WordPress page.
At Kartra, we leave nothing to chance.
So it was essential to us that Kartra have the most robust security measures available. And take every precaution to ensure the security of your data — and your customers’ data.
We start with a direct, secure, encrypted (256-bit) connection directly from your customers to your payment gateway. Customer payment information is tokenized — a fancy term that means that at no time does any customer payment data ever touch our servers. We never store it, and we never see it.
All the data you store in your account – including the personal information you collect about your leads and customers, is protected by multiple firewalls and Cloudflare security. On top of that, there is no central Kartra database to hack. Every Kartra user account has its own, isolated database. That means it’s practically impossible for anyone to breach Kartra and run off with “everyone’s data”.
Finally, Kartra is extremely reliable too! Today’s internet-driven businesses run 24/7. Any downtime is lost money. So we’ve gone the extra mile to ensure the reliability of Kartra for your business. Kartra’s infrastructure runs on the best — top-tier storage and delivery providers, including Amazon and SendGrid®. This is your assurance that Kartra will be there for you, day in and day out.
Kartra gives you a convenient, budget-friendly monthly subscription model with the lowest prices you’ll find for such a combination of online marketing tools in one platform. You can cancel your subscription at any time, and your billing will stop right after your current billing cycle is complete.
That’s the million-dollar question, isn’t it?
Maybe what we really should be asking is, “Why does other software cost so much?”
Because truly, in this day and age, there is no sane reason for you to have to pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars a month on multiple apps to get the minimum necessary functionality you need to run your online business.
Nor should you have to spend the time to research hundreds of apps to find the right combination for your business, learn how to use each app, and spend money on programmers to integrate them so they can share data. Again, in this day and age, that’s just insanity.
After struggling ourselves to try and find a viable solution for our business and coming up empty, we decided to do something about this.
Since we were already an expert cloud software company (having produced the wildly popular and successful WebinarJam and EverWebinar platforms), we put our resources to work crafting a truly affordable platform that any marketer can use to grow their business, profitably.
But that wasn’t enough in our book. This platform also had to be very easy to use. And fully integrated to provide you with truly useful, actionable analytics.
And after three years of solid development, we are proud to be able to offer you the first true all-in-one eCommerce and marketing platform that gives you everything you need to launch and run your business — at a price that is refreshingly sane.
Kartra offers you different packages to best meet your business needs and your budget. The packages differ primarily by the number of contacts and monthly email sends, amount of monthly bandwidth, and number of marketing assets you can have. Otherwise, all four packages give you complete access to Kartra’s amazing assortment of tools, features and benefits. There are no extra-cost “add-ons”. With Kartra, you get everything from the start, no matter which package you choose.
Which package is right for you? The one that matches your size of business — the number of leads, monthly email and bandwidth volume and number of marketing assets you’ll need. And with Kartra’s easy monthly subscription model, you’re never locked into a package.
Of course! Connect Kartra with many of the platforms you know and use for your business, including many popular payment gateways, membership platforms, email marketing platforms, SMS, Zapier, and more. We're continually adding more integrations too.
Absolutely not!
Kartra’s simple drag-and-drop interface and menu wizards let you do everything without any code whatsoever — from designing and launching your marketing pages, emails, forms and checkouts; to configuring your products, shopping carts, helpdesk, videos, and affiliate program.
Kartra makes it even easier for you with its wide variety of gorgeous, pre-designed templates for pages, emails, and forms, getting you going even faster with practically no effort.
With Kartra, anyone, regardless of experience, can easily build a complete online business presence in just a few hours. No code required!
Of course. Kartra gives you the option to use any domain you own to point to your Kartra-hosted pages. All you need to do is adjust a few settings in the cPanel of your internet host account. It takes just a few minutes to complete the configuration, and we provide you with complete help documentation to explain how to do it. You can easily do it yourself, or let your webmaster or IT person do it for you.
