What Kartra bills on top of the subscription
- Exceeding your contact limit triggers an automatic upgrade to the next tier plus a mid-cycle reconciliation fee — the amount of that fee is not published
- The Essentials 5% fee on sales is billed monthly and separately from the subscription, even when the plan is billed annually
On your own sales: 5% of your sales on Essentials. 0% on Starter, Growth and Professional.
What Kartra does well
- The cheapest genuine all-in-one entry in this set: $59/mo already includes checkouts, a funnel mapper, forms and analytics.
- Unlimited email and SMS from the $119 tier upward. Very few platforms here include text messages at all.
- 0% on your sales on every plan above the entry one, with no penalty for using your own processor.
- Unusual breadth in the box — helpdesk ticketing, webinars, booking calendars, affiliate management, video hosting, surveys.
- HIPAA compliance stated as included at no extra cost, which is rare at this price.
Where Kartra is hardest on a small business owner
- "Never any extra fees" sits on the same page as a mid-cycle reconciliation fee for going over your contact limit.
- 500 contacts on Essentials is a very low ceiling, and the plan meters email at 10,000 a month.
- The published comparison grid contradicts their own plan cards in several rows, so the plan cards are the only reliable source.
- The $549 Professional tier is documented in four bullets, with no feature table at all.
How this was gathered
Every figure on this page was read off kartra.com/plans-and-pricing on 6 August 2026. Nothing here comes from a review site, an affiliate roundup, a press release or memory, and there are no affiliate links on it. Where Kartra publishes no figure for something, this page records that it is not published rather than modelling a plausible one. Prices are list prices in US dollars before any promotion, and exclude the extras listed further down, which depend on volume and on your own sales and therefore cannot be totalled for anybody in general. No rating, score or rank is published here — this page contains Kartra's published prices and terms, and nothing that is an opinion except the section that says it is.
