Honest comparison
Chuhching vs Kartra
Kartra is a native all-in-one for info-product sellers — but the pieces that matter unlock on the $189+ Growth tier, there's no free plan, and no social or get-booked. Chuhching gives you a real CRM free and an AI agent to run it.

Common questions
Does Kartra have a free plan?
No. Kartra runs a 14-day trial and then plans from about $59/mo Essentials, $119 Starter, $229 Growth and $549 Professional on monthly billing (verified August 2026). Worth knowing: the cheapest Essentials tier carries a 5% transaction fee, while the higher tiers have none — so the entry plan can cost more than it looks if you're actually selling.
Is Kartra's all-in-one better than Chuhching's?
For the course-and-funnel business specifically, Kartra is more mature. Its checkout, membership and video hosting are purpose-built and well integrated, and it has years of refinement behind it. Where it stops is outbound: no real sales pipeline, no earned-media engine, and no open agent rail.
How many contacts do I get on Kartra?
It's tiered, and lower than people expect: Starter covers about 2,500 contacts, with higher tiers stepping up from there. Since the plan price and the contact ceiling move together, growing a list forces a tier upgrade. Chuhching's paid plans don't gate on contact count.
