- Sales funnel builder and automation

- No current white-label options
- Bit of a learning curve
Compare Kartra with other popular tools in the same category.
The payment management system. Nobody talks about it, but it is by far the best feature Kartra has. You can manage payments, cancelations, refunds, recurrent payments (including changing dates) all inside Kartra, not need to go to any of your payment processors.
I don't like that Kartra needs to use re-directions when you use custom domains. This slows down page load speed.
Having all my marketing tools in one place simplifies running operations. Being able to easily charge my clients online for my services is necesary for my business.
- The main benefit of kartra is that it is very easy to intergrate any of your marketing tools into one. - Kartra is very good with memberships, the only tool i use for my clients to host their course videos - A very easy to use and best UI of the sales funnel builder - Analytics overview is bestest i have seen so far in any tool
- The membership login page needs to be customizable - UI/UX needs of the whole tool needs an improvement - Need Improvement in the checkout pages - Need to have a better customer support
- Solving problems for my course creating clients by helping them with memberships,landing pages,payment integrations,email automation and helping them get more and more students by using kartra
The most helpful thing about Kartra is that it allows you to integrate your website, sales, marketing, and communication systems all into one. Not only have I been able to reduce costs but eliminate all these separate systems, I have been able to brand all my sites across all funnels.
My only dislike at the moment is with some of the customizations currently unavailable. I want the ability to customize the login screen for specific content exclusive to members only. However, the default login screen is uncustomizable at the moment. Also, I'd like to see a little more robustness when setting wait states within the Sequence builder for minute increments instead of the default of 1 hour.
Kartra solved the problem of having multiple systems for my marketing, sales, communication, and website to provide a single solution. Additionally, it allows me to have a calendar for appointment setting and scheduling. I also like that I can build a training portal to offer memberships for my training and teaching video products and services. With the addition of Quizzes and Surveys, I can add them to my classes or send them out as lead magnets or reviews. The benefits to my business are simplified processes and offerings all under oneproduct.
With most systems, you send out an email and know who opened it and how many clicks. Kartra's dashboard and the interconnected system will tell me exactly how much money sending that email out made me. Website pages are easy to create and trackable with no additional coding or setup. Full helpdesk to make for happy customers and clients. Membership to train internally and clients. Quizes! CRM that is constantly gathering information FOR ME. I have no idea how ClickFunnels and its poor competitors even begin to compete.
It is not yet prepared to sell software on group deal sites like AppSumo with a limitation of manually creating one coupon code at a time. And they are so overprotective of email quality.... many emails are blacklisted with no way to change that.
Website creation, running my business, making money, building affiliate and sales teams, email broadcasts, video hosting and more
1. Kartra is in my case, the best all in one marketing automation tool. 2. Thier sales funnel builder has proven to be a unicorn. 3. Unlike other sales funnel design tool, it's in tegration in to Wordpress is very easy 4. Kartra has multiple explainer video on how to use it efficiently 5. Has insane analytics and email automation system
1. You have to pay $1 to go on their 14 days free trial
I'm building a highly converting marketing sales funnel for my clients. I saw an increase in 7.9% conversion in the first month of using Kartra
Kartra is a one-stop-shop for all of my marketing and sales campaigns. Not only that, they have a phenomenal affiliate program. I love their customer service, astronaut academy (Kartracademy), their templates and designs, and the functionality of the interface and back office. Everything is clean and works very well. The way the leads are classified and able to be tagged are definitely awesome!
There are some downsides to Kartra, as with any software. One is the functionality of getting to emails and editing them. Within a sequence or automation, you have to click through very tediously to get to the email, open the email, edit the email and save the email. I would also mention some API integrations are not evident, and there are some hindrances in their checkout processes (minimal products). However, they are always working and improving.
I am an affiliate marketer, so I love the aspect of being able to promote a product I love and use every day. I've realized I don't need a lot of third-party integrations (there are some still lacking), but overall, it is a great setup for someone looking to capitalize on their website, landing pages, funnels, and marketing!
The done for you template sequences and funnels from the brilliant Frank Kern...massive time saver, massive conversion booster.
Not much - we're moving off Active Campaign to Kartra because we were so impressed. When they can match Upviral for viral campaigns I'll be in heaven!
email sequencing, running a 5-day challenge, content hosting, including videos...we're running a multi-six figure business that is growing rapidly and still not found the edges of Kartra's capacity...
All-in-one solution for online businesses
Not much to dislike, they have a lot to love though
CRM, Sales pages, Email provider, Leads capture
it deals with everything. since all is done within kartra, no need to use and integrate other platforms
they could redo the scheduling options, its not the best
all my sales funnel and (digital) product delivery
I think I like the 'Done For You' campaigns, and pages best. I love the training videos that go with each and they certainly help me move forward much quicker than if I was trying to work this all out myself from scratch.
I tend to end up with many started but not finished campaigns and that can get confusing
I have a one-stop-shop for my product, marketing followup and sales with much more segmenting, tagging and analytics that I could ever hope to make full use of. AND.... I am able to handle the intricate and complex integration of all the elements easily as the tool stitches it all together seamlessly
Like any platform, it may take a bit to learn everything. Kartra's training is great, and I went through the beginning. Once I started using it, it became so easy because they are consistent in their presentation of functionality across different functional areas. I like Kartra the most because I can tie all my business components together. I used to have 4 different autoresponders, 2 different funnel builders and was going to have to pay to add on a calendar and helpdesk and other functionality that is standard in Kartra.
I have a problem because I cannot export the reports. The reporting is very good but I like to see keep track of things in my spreadsheets and I cannot export the data from my reports to excel or a CSV.
I have great insights into my lists and how they perform. It is easy to filter the right people into my broadcast emails and eliminate those who I want to omit. It brings almost all my online business functions in one place.
Everything is easy to learn and straightforward to use.
Because we use it so much, we get really random problems with it. When we reach out for customer support, the answer is YUP, that's a problem. Also, the billing and recurring payments system is poorly thought out. You don't get notified when someone misses a payment, which seems pretty odd.
I have moved a great deal of my business online because of Kartra. It's allowed me to grow a recurring revenue stream in my business that has solved a lot of business problems.
Kartra has everything you need for your online marketing in one place. While there are other products that do this the beauty of Kartra is that it all works together in a simple and easy to apply system.
Not a huge amount. There's a couple little minor things but they are always evolving the product so these things seem to get fixed.
I can quickly put together products and test them to the market. This is with webpages, email follow ups, online education products and so on. Here's an example, I created this page and the back end within 2 weeks: https://www.my5kdream.com
All the features that work together seamlessly.
I cannot wait for a survey feature to be added so I can gather more information about my clients!
Website creation, product + service sales, webinars, funnels, membership platform.
All of the integrations. I like that it includes my email service provider and my payment processor.
I would like to see a more straightforward and clear training program for using the system.
I am managing my clients better with Kartra. It has helped to have everything in one place.
So many aspects of my business can be addressed through Kartra. It saves me from having to subscribe to many different service providers. I truly love the (almost) All-in-One approach. There are many training videos and the Facebook group is an awesome resource for extra tips and immediate help. I am happy with Kartra, because it allowed me to really upgrade the online presence of my business, and to automate my sales and the communication with my clients. It enhances my ability to have a detailed database of my clients, their purchase activity and browsing behaviors. Once I learned how to utilize the different modules, it became very easy to duplicate existing segments or modify templates. I also appreciate, that Karta continues to work on the integration of even more features.
There are new features added frequently. That is in itself a good thing. But it requires keeping up with the changes. A couple of times it resulted in me having to redo things. So sometimes the many different levels of complexity interfere with each other and create a bit extra work. Also, the initial learning was pretty time consuming.
I use Kartra to create and host my main web-presence, it is my client database and my main communication platform to keep m students/clients in the loop. Kartra enables me to have various membership sites with e-learning modules.
Saving money by consolidating 90% of all features needed to run our online business into one platform, which gives us many benefits, namely less headaches and integrations to manage.
There's definitely a learning curve to use all the design tools and setting up funnels. The process to set everything up is very non-linear.
Email marketing, sales and lead pages, tracking, automations, online courses, support, checkout. Reducing our monthly bill on software is a huge benefit. Speed to getting funnels, courses, and offers to market is a second huge benefit.
BAM- Behavior Adaptive Marketing. It enables you to change and adapt marketing to consumers based on various preferences.
Technical support has only been provided over e-mail, thus taking a little while.
Providing products to consumers as well as conducting e-mail campaigns and analyzing IRR. Great way to have professional and great looking email broadcasts.
I like that its all on e platform to handle email, webpages, product ecom, helpdesk, video hosting and affiliate management and much more
Nothing the platform is amazing and truly awesome product
I am now running my entire business on the platform
Kartra removes the headache of making all the technical things work for a sales funnel. I now save 5-10 of hours a month in technical snafu's and I am actually getting the right work done. Marketing and building programs.
A few little quirks because it's still in Beta but frankly it works better than any NON-BETA products Ive used including Infusionsoft, Ontraport, ActiveCampaign and numerous other responder systems
I build funnels for information products.
I love that cartra allows for such a debt
I love that kartra allows for such a depth and breath of cloud storage and I can easily store anything related to business practices at the touch of a button/upload. It's simple and affordable and useful for marketing automation as well.
Prior to using Kartra we would store a or our important business related materials on a traditional hard drive period of period this allows us to ultimately save time and money by using the cloud storage instead. We also use Kartra to implement marketing tactics to better reach our audience.
I like its a one stop shop for all marketing and CRM and lead generation needs.
I dont like itz not white label or customisable
Email communication, membership site, and CRM.
This software is hands down in one word powerful. The functionality is amazing. You can literally eliminate use of other programs by going with Kartra. The merchant options are great if you have a sales component that you need to incorporate. We are eliminating LeadPages and will eventually remove other software as we see what Kartra can replace.
Some of the functionality is challenging to navigate. We certainly would use a sheet sheet of comparisons with other software so that we can get a jump on knowing what to eliminate going forward.
Internally we are using tomalley different software products to essentially perform the same functions. The goal is to let team evaluate how Kartra holds up for long term which would allow us to streamline our software purchases.
The best thing about KARTRA is it has all the options Like: E-mail marketing Membership platform E-commerce video hosting Its like ready to go TOOL
In the beginning it difficult to learn but once's you have hang of it is the best tool i have ever came across
It has email broadcasts option which really helps.
I love how well it covers the bases and fits together, eliminating the need for all the usual collection of various software solutions (that you end up working hard to get talking to each other and continuing to do so smoothly).
I'd like to see a more mature page builder. But Thrive Architect is peerless in that respect, and I doubt if Kartra will catch up to that level. In fairness, I use Kartra for most things and Thrive Architect for my actual web pages, and that's a great match.
We use Kartra for lead capture, for product setup, shopping cart and payments, and our membership areas. Plus we use it for email campaigns and communicating with our members.

The advantages with kartra is the availability to do everything directly on it no more need of several site or software for our tasks with kartra everything is done on site
the disadvantage that I find in kartra is in their price plan, they should try to review their prices so that more users explore the advantages and potential that offers.
kartra allows me to be more productive on my daily and especially monthly tasks, with all the tools they put at our disposal I am 100% profitable in my business and its boost our online activities.
Contains all aspects needed to run online business. Fairly easy to use. Feature rich.
Some changes take longer because of watered down easy to use interface.
Online sales, email list, CRM
I like being to clone previous broadcasts to send out to subscribers for recurring events. I also like being able to create different types of forms (applications, surveys, sign-ups, etc.) in the app.
I think Kartra can be a bit bulky and there is definitely a learning curve. However, once you learn how to use and set up the features it can be a great business tool.
I use Kartra for one of my clients as a virtual assistant. I schedule broadcasts and newsletters, create forms, update landing pages, and follow up with client membership orders.
I like they guide me to use their platform. It has everything in one, email, funnels, memberships, and so much more. I really like on the side of the platform it tells you the percentage of how far you are to completing your task that you want to do. It also has step by step instructions which are super easy to follow.
Not much but how the email is set up. It doesn't flow as well as other platforms. When editing emails it's a little bit more cumbersome because it has a pop-up that you put your info in if your copy and pasting, which I can't stand.
I turned to Kartra because I just wanted a one-stop-shop and cut out using different platforms which I use to use, click funnels, active campaign and they where great but I like to make my life easy and have everything on one platform plus one payment.
