# Kartra Pricing Explained: Every Plan, Limit and Fee, Read on 14 November 2026 > Kartra pricing: the Essentials, Starter, Growth and Professional plans, prices, limits, the 5% fee on Essentials, trial and guarantee, read on 14 Nov 2026. By Uyi Abraham (Founder and CEO, Vonza). Published 2026-11-14, updated 2026-11-14. Category: Business and creator economy. 5 min read. Canonical: https://vonza.com/blog/kartra-pricing Kartra sells itself as one platform for pages, funnels, email, memberships and checkout, and prices it in four plans that differ mainly by contacts, domains and a transaction fee on the cheapest tier. This post reads kartra.com/plans-and-pricing as it stood on 14 November 2026 and lays the plans out in plain English. Every figure comes from that page; where the page is silent, we say so. ## The four plans at a glance | | Essentials | Starter | Growth | Professional | |---|---|---|---|---| | Monthly billing | $59/mo | $119/mo | $229/mo | $549/mo | | Annual billing | $52/mo | $99/mo | $189/mo | $429/mo | | Contacts | 500 | 2,500 | 12,500 | 25,000 | | Emails | 10,000/month | "Unlimited email & SMS" | "Unlimited" | "Unlimited" | | Custom domains | 1 | 1 | 3 | 5 | | Pages | 5 | "Unlimited" | "Unlimited" | "Unlimited" | | Memberships / courses | 1 | "Unlimited" | "Unlimited" | "Unlimited" | | Kartra AI | 30 uses | 100 uses | not stated | not stated | | Transaction fees | "5% transaction fees" | "0% transaction fees" | 0% | 0% | Source: kartra.com/plans-and-pricing, read 14 November 2026. Quoted words are the page's own. The yearly toggle is labelled "Save up to 22%". ## Monthly or annual Billed yearly, Essentials drops from $59 to $52 a month, Starter from $119 to $99, Growth from $229 to $189 and Professional from $549 to $429. The page's "Save up to 22%" refers to the largest of those gaps. As with any annual plan, the saving is real only if you keep the account for the year. ## The Essentials fee The detail that changes the maths is the transaction fee. Essentials lists "5% transaction fees"; Starter and above list 0%. That 5 per cent is Kartra's, on top of whatever your payment provider charges to process the card. Work it through for your own sales. The gap between Essentials and Starter is $60 a month billed monthly ($47 billed annually). Five per cent of your monthly sales passes that gap at $1,200 a month in sales ($940 on annual billing). Below that figure Essentials is cheaper despite the fee; above it, Starter costs less overall and lifts the contact, page and membership limits as well. ## What the limits mean for a creator **Contacts** are 500, 2,500, 12,500 and 25,000. Every address in the account counts. Five hundred is a small list; a single lead magnet that works can pass it in a few weeks, which makes Essentials a starting plan rather than a working one for most creators. **Pages** are 5 on Essentials and "Unlimited" above it. A single funnel can use most of five pages (opt-in, thank-you, sales, checkout, upsell). **Memberships and courses** are 1 on Essentials and "Unlimited" above it. **Custom domains** are 1, 1, 3 and 5. **Emails** are 10,000 a month on Essentials and "Unlimited email & SMS" from Starter. **Kartra AI**, the page's AI copy writer for pages, emails and SMS, is metered at 30 uses on Essentials and 100 on Starter; the page does not state a figure for Growth and Professional. **Features by tier.** The page adds "Funnel simulation", "Automations", "Affiliates" and 10 team members at Growth, and "Real-time funnel analytics" at Professional. If you plan to run an affiliate programme, Growth is the entry point. ## Free trial and guarantee There is no free plan. The page offers a "Free Trial" without stating its length, and a "30-Day risk-free money back guarantee. Cancel anytime." ## What Kartra's product pages add Kartra's feature pages, read the same day, describe "100+ stunning pre-designed templates" for pages, split tests of "up to four distinct page versions per campaign" with a custom traffic split, pop-ups and exit intents, upsells, downsells and thank-you pages in funnels, single-step or multi-step checkout forms, and a Funnel Mapper that plans and simulates a funnel and exports it as a PDF. Those pages prove the features exist; apart from the Growth and Professional lines above, they do not say which plan carries each one. ## Working out your real cost Add to the plan price: 1. **The 5 per cent on Essentials**, if that is where you start, on every sale. 2. **Payment processing** from your provider, on every plan. 3. **The plan your list will need in a year.** If you expect to pass 2,500 contacts, price Growth. 4. **Anything Kartra does not replace for you**, such as live streaming for webinars or a scheduling tool with reminders, each with its own subscription. ## How Vonza compares Vonza includes funnels, landing pages, courses, communities, memberships, email and SMS marketing, forms, appointment scheduling, live streaming, checkout, order bumps and one-click upsells in every plan, with a 14-day free trial, and no plan tier carries a platform percentage on your sales. The new Vonza Funnels builds a funnel as steps on a visual canvas, from 41 templates or with Vonza AI writing every page (which uses AI credits), with split tests on any step, a leads pipeline and automations. How many funnels, landing pages and custom domains you can have depends on your plan; see [pricing](https://vonza.com/pricing). We do not print Vonza's prices in a blog post because they are set on the pricing page and change there first.

Our companion post explains [ClickFunnels pricing](https://vonza.com/blog/clickfunnels-pricing) the same way. ## Five questions to answer before you buy 1. **Will my monthly sales pass about $1,200?** Above that, the 5 per cent on Essentials costs more than the step up to Starter. 2. **How many contacts will I have in twelve months?** Five hundred is passed quickly by one working lead magnet; 2,500 by a modest list. 3. **Do I need an affiliate programme or automations?** The page lists both at Growth, so that is the entry point if you do. 4. **How many custom domains do I run?** One on the two lower plans means one brand per account. 5. **What else am I paying for?** Live streaming for the webinar, a scheduling tool with reminders, a community space; add their subscriptions before you compare totals. ## About these figures Every number in this post was read from kartra.com/plans-and-pricing on 14 November 2026 and saved as evidence that day.
