Kartra alternatives with no product cap and a flat fee

Verdict: stay with Kartra if you need its campaign builder and helpdesk at $59 a month for Essentials, with that plan’s 5% fee.

Why creators switch from Kartra to Vonza

Grounded in what each pricing page lists, not in opinion.

  • A flat platform fee

    Kartra’s Essentials plan charges 5% on your sales and lists 1 product, 5 pages and 500 contacts. Vonza’s platform fee is flat on every paid plan and products are unlimited from the Starter plan.

  • Invoicing without another tool

    Invoicing is not on Kartra’s pricing page. Vonza includes an invoicing tool next to checkout, so service businesses bill and get paid in one place.

  • A School plan for institutions

    Vonza’s School plan adds degrees, admissions, transcripts and a gradebook for colleges and training institutes; Kartra’s page is aimed at marketers.

  • Free migration on annual plans

    Migration is not mentioned on Kartra’s pricing page. Vonza moves your courses, communities and calendar for free on annual Pro and Business plans.
