VS
Mailchimp relies on 3rd-party integrations to get you where you want to go.
Their limited features and minimal tools keep you stuck in one place, which is the last thing your growing business needs.
Mailchimp is known for being one of the cheapest email marketing software options around. You can use it for free and only pay when you reach 1,500 subscribers.
For many marketers, that seems like a great deal for an email marketing platform.
But remember, you have to put up with their clunky email builders, basic templates, poor customer support, and email sending limits.
You can’t complain because it’s free, and you get what you pay for in that regard.
When reality sinks in as you attempt to grow your company, you’ll soon need a platform designed to convert valuable leads into satisfied paying customers.
That’s where Kartra comes in…
Kartra is an all-in-one marketing and sales platform. You can send emails, build landing pages, offer customer support, start an affiliate system, host premium videos, create membership sites, build checkout pages, and so much more.
Kartra clients rave about the money they save due to its extensive features, continuous updates, and not relying on other third-party tools. Kartra allows users to cancel other subscriptions and focus solely on building their business in Kartra.
Mailchimp, on the other hand, is an email marketing platform with basic CRM, landing page, and checkout features. You can create simple email marketing campaigns with some level of personalization and automation.
But that’s about it.
With Mailchimp, you can’t create a help desk, build membership sites, start an affiliate management system, host premium videos, or create sales funnels with only a few clicks — features that are crucial to growing your business.
Kartra Let's You:
Promote using video marketing for more engagement to maximum sales.
Launch a membership site to sell your content, training, and digital products, complete with tracking analytics.
Utilize lead tracking analytics to make the best marketing decisions geared toward growing your online business.
Create a helpdesk to give followers, subscribers, and buyers a premium experience that increases customer loyalty.
Save time with affiliate management and turn your satisfied customers into loyal brand evangelists.
Mailchimp offers lots of features and tools to help you maximize your landing page visits and email list subscribers.
Unfortunately, none of those tools or features are world-class.
Yes, Mailchimp has behavioral-based automation, sophisticated segmenting features, and dynamic landing pages.
But it takes a LOT of steps to build these campaigns.
Since Mailchimp only has basic templates, you have to edit your entire campaign at least 2-3 times before it’s “good enough.”
Once the campaign is built, you need to integrate it with third-party tools — like a membership site or checkout page — before you can run it.
Unlike Mailchimp, Kartra has hundreds of conversion-focused templates.
Pick a template, wait for it to load, and you’ll have stunning landing pages and emails within minutes. All you need to do is edit the content.
You also have the option to build entire campaigns with only a few clicks.
Kartra has 26 Done-For-You Campaign templates designed to make it easy for marketers to build profitable campaigns fast.
You don’t need third-party tools with Kartra. You can create a checkout page to accept payments, a membership site to deliver courses, a helpdesk for customer service, and even an affiliate management system for customers who want to promote your brand.
From lead generation to sales, remarketing to delivery, customer support to affiliate management — Kartra has everything you need to reach your business goals.
Not only that, Kartra allows you to build unlimited landing pages, create unlimited products, and send unlimited emails.
The same can’t be said for Mailchimp.
Be Cautious of Restrictive Email Send Limits
When you take a deeper look, Mailchimp is one of the more expensive email marketing platforms around.
Most software tools charge based on the number of subscribers you have.
But Mailchimp charges you based on the number of subscribers you have AND the number of emails you’ll send.
Mailchimp’s Free Plan costs $0 for up to 1,500 subscribers with a send limit of 10,000 emails per month.
Once you’ve reached either of those limits, you can’t continue to market to your list UNTIL you move up to their Standard Plan level.
Even their paid plans have monthly email send limits.
Mailchimp Premium Plan:
Monthly email sends: 15x plan’s contact limit.
Mailchimp Standard Plan:
Monthly email sends: 12x plan’s contact limit.
Mailchimp Essentials Plan:
Monthly email sends: 10x plan’s contact limit.
If you have 2,500-4,999 subscribers, you'll need to pay $59/mo for their Standard Plan.
But…you can only send 60,000 emails per month.
If you have 4,999 subscribers, you can't send 30 emails per month, you can only send 12 broadcast emails, which limits your income potential.
If you want to send 13 emails, you’ll need to pay more than $59/mo.
And this doesn't include any automations.
If you have a welcome email sequence, onboard, upsell, and abandon cart sequence…you'll need more than 60,000 email sends per month. That puts you over the threshold, which means you'll have to pay more.
Meanwhile, with Kartra at $97/mo you can send an unlimited number of emails.
You can send 200,000 emails to your subscribers if you like — all at no additional cost.
You’ll only get charged more when you reach 5,000 contacts.
When it comes to Kartra — you’ll save more, make more, and deliver more every time!
Censorship Without Prior Notice
If Mailchimp finds you’ve violated their policies, they can stop your campaigns, restrict your account, or ban you without prior notice.
Once you’re banned you can't retrieve your contact list, data, or anything else you've built, which is a serious reason for concern.
Mailchimp Support is Almost Non-Existent
If you sign up for Mailchimp’s Free Plan, it will take weeks before they respond to any of your questions.
With their Essentials, Standard, and Premium Plans, you'll get 24/7 email and chat support.
With Kartra, you can reach out and ask our Kartra Official Facebook group with more than 16K members any questions you have 24/7.
Kartra’s own 24/7 helpdesk is also one of the best in the industry.
Not only will they answer your queries, they'll solve any problems you may have with your account or Kartra set up, tools, or functions.

Scale Your Business
Let’s face it, many people choose Mailchimp because it’s free. We get that. But when you start to scale up costs start piling up. Your free account is free no more. You’ll pay for subscribers, email sends, and more. Take a look...

Kartra is awesome for coaches/course creators/consultants and those with a need for a membership platform. The payoff once everything is set up is that it's mostly hands-off and runs itself. It's super easy to attach your payment processor(s) and create different payment options for your products. Setting up each area is accompanied by inline, easy to understand instruction that even self-professed non-techies can conquer.

I have been on Shopify for about 10 years and Clickfunnels. I've also used every CRM under the sun like Active Campaign, Klaviyo, Conversio, Mad Mimi, InfusionSoft, Mailchimp, SendGrid, Actionetics and on. I've used and tested WordPress, SquareSpace, Wix, Custom Code and many more.
I also consult on marketing and business development and I stopped because I usually ended up doing the work and though my fee was nice the work just wasn't worth it cause I could make more building my own businesses with less headache. But I do love working with business owners and startups to help them launch and scale. Now with your platform and Agency, I can actually see building my businesses and managing them faster with way less headaches and helping new business owners will be so much easier now too.
I just wanted to say from the bottom of my heart your software is a God Send! A big thank you to you and all your team members!!! Your software is absolutely gorgeous!!! It does exactly what I've been dreaming and wishing for, for years and years.
I am having so much fun moving my entire business over to Kartra. I'm close to shutting down my Klaviyo and my ClickFunnels and eventually my Shopify and I'm telling all my clients to hold off on their CF pages I was building out for them cause I'm totally going to do theirs in Kartra now.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

As the advertisement says, Kartra is a platform that has everything you need, landig page, sales letter templates, blog, webinar, etc. You can manage your leads, do email marketing, capture leads, automate and you only pay for one platform and everything is concentrated there.
I did the free period with a campaign and it went very well, I saw that it was functional, that you could effectively do everything on that platform and although there were some things that I thought could be improved, I was able to eliminate my vimeo subscription, mailchimp, calendly and leadpages.

Kartra is an all-in-one solution that will potentially take the place of many separate providers.
The email marketing system is simple to use and an email blast can be sent out rapidly and efficiently compared to my experience with Mailchimp.

I've been using Kartra for less than a week. I've replicated (from scratch) my mailchimp/clickfunnels setup I've been sending traffic for about less than a day and have 4 leads in the sequence. Then I looked at the leads info panel and I'm completely blown away by what this platform does for me.
I did everything myself.
All on one platform.
It's amazing and I love it.

Function...Kartra can do everything I want to do better than anything else. The way my choice worked out, I had already put money out for all of the products I mention above, When I was trying to cut costs, I eliminated everything BUT Kartra and Active Campaign. Active Campaign will be eliminated at some point, too.
