OpusFunnel
vs Kartra

Kartra is a capable all-in-one and a fair comparison — it's the closest thing to what we do. The catch is at the bottom: their entry plan takes 5% of every sale and caps you at 500 contacts.

Free forever plan · 0% platform fee on paid plans · free migration on Launch and above

Choose OpusFunnel if…

  • You don't want a 5% transaction fee on the entry plan
  • Your list is bigger than 2,500 and you don't want to jump to $229
  • You want Instagram DMs and Messenger in the same inbox as your email
  • You need contracts, invoices or completion certificates
  • You want a real starting price rather than $59 with strings attached
  • You want attribution reporting that shows which page produced the sale

Choose Kartra if…

  • You want unlimited email sends from the $119 plan upwards
  • You want a built-in helpdesk and ticketing system, which we don't offer
  • You want a mature, proven all-in-one with years behind it
  • Video hosting with their own player matters to you

Price

Their cheap plan takes 5% of your sales.

Kartra Essentials looks like $59 until you read the fee line. Five percent of every sale, plus a 500-contact cap and one product. The plan that removes the fee is $119 and still caps you at 2,500 contacts.

Annual billing brings Kartra to $52 / $99 / $189 / $429. Even so, their 12,500-contact plan is $229 against our unlimited-contact plan at $79 — and ours includes the unified inbox, contracts and certificates they don't have.

Where Kartra is genuinely better

Kartra is the closest competitor on this list to what we actually do, and it has real advantages.

  • Unlimited email from the $119 plan up. We cap sends per plan.
  • A built-in helpdesk. Ticketing and support desk are part of the product. We don't have that at all.
  • Maturity. Years in market, a large user base and a lot of accumulated polish.
  • Their own video player with hosting built in and no third-party dependency.

If unlimited email and a helpdesk are what you need, Kartra earns its price. If you're weighing 2,500 contacts at $119 against unlimited at $79, the arithmetic speaks for itself.

Questions

Common questions

Is the 5% fee real?

Yes, on Kartra's Essentials plan at $59. It disappears on Starter at $119 and above. On a business doing $10,000 a month, that 5% is $500 — considerably more than the plan itself. OpusFunnel's Free plan takes 2%, and every paid plan, from $79, takes 0%.

Kartra offers unlimited emails. You don't.

True. We cap sends per plan because we pay per email delivered. The alternative is charging a percentage of your revenue, which we'd rather not do. Grow includes 40,000 sends a month; overage is billed at cost plus a small margin.

Do you have a helpdesk like theirs?

No. We have a unified inbox that catches Instagram, Messenger, web chat and email in one thread, but it isn't a ticketing system. If you need formal support desk workflows, Kartra has that and we don't.

Can I migrate from Kartra?

Contacts export by CSV, course content downloads and re-uploads, pages get rebuilt from our templates. Active subscriptions can't transfer between platforms — that's universal. On Grow and Scale we'll handle the migration.

Keep the 5%.

Unlimited contacts at $79, and no fee on any plan.
