Kartra pricing
By Dana Rourke, Lead reviewer. Reviewed by Campaign Buyer Editorial. Verified 8 September 2026.
The plans
Paid plans start at $59/mo, after a 14-day trial.
Four monthly plans, with annual billing saving up to 22%. Essentials, at $59/mo, allows 500 contacts, 10,000 emails, five pages and one product, but takes a 5% cut of your sales. Starter, $119/mo, lifts that to 2,500 contacts with unlimited email and SMS, unlimited pages, products and courses, and no such cut. Growth, $229/mo, adds automations, affiliate management and funnel simulation for up to 12,500 leads. Professional tops the range at $549/mo, reaching 25,000 contacts and real-time funnel analytics. Annual pricing works out to $52, $99, $189 and $429 a month. There is a 14-day free trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Only the entry plan charges that 5%; every tier above it keeps your revenue whole.

Is it worth the money?
Kartra is the pick if you sell courses, coaching or memberships and want funnels, checkout, email and a member area running under one login instead of a stack of separate tools. It is a real, established platform used by tens of thousands of creators. The catch is that it earns its price only when you use most of it: support is slow, the editor lags, and the cheapest plan skims 5% off the top.
What works
- Genuinely covers the whole creator business under one roof: pages and funnels, email and SMS, a checkout, memberships and courses, calendars, affiliates and a helpdesk, so you stop paying for and wiring together five separate tools.
- Checkout is designed for selling, not just collecting money. You get branded order forms, coupons, buy-now-pay-later through Klarna, and one-click upsells aimed at lifting average order value.
- The funnel mapper lets you plan and simulate a multi-page journey before you build it, and more than 100 done-for-you campaign templates mean you rarely start from a blank page.
- Established and widely used. Kartra Inc. (Genesis Digital) has run it since 2018, with 60,000-plus customers, and billing is flat-rate with no surprise usage fees stacked on top.
- Plans above the entry tier take 0% of your sales, and a 30-day money-back guarantee lets you build a real funnel before you commit.
What to watch
- Support speed is the loudest complaint from long-term users. Trustpilot reviewers in 2025 report waits of up to a week for simple questions, which hurts most during a launch when something breaks.
- The editor is capable but slow. Reviewers describe lag and glitches, and simple edits taking too many steps. Stress-test it on the trial before you build anything real.
- It is expensive unless you use the whole suite. Buy it for one job, a landing page or email alone, and cheaper single-purpose tools win on price.
- The entry Essentials plan takes 5% of every transaction and caps you at 500 contacts, 5 pages and one product, so most real businesses need Starter at $119/mo or higher.
- It is not a full CRM: it tracks contacts, tags and purchases but has no deal stages, forecasting or task management if a sales team lives in a pipeline. And building everything inside one platform means lock-in, since the work does not transfer cleanly if you leave.
