Funnelish vs Kartra Comparison 2026
Funnelish is a checkout built for physical products sold with paid traffic: one-click upsells, order bumps and a profitability report, from $49 a month with no transaction fee mentioned in the listing. Kartra is a full stack for pages, checkout, email, memberships and courses in one subscription, from $59 a month on its entry tier, plus a 5 percent transaction fee on everything you sell through it. The choice is what you sell and how: physical goods needing upsell math, or a digital offer needing a whole bundle instead of five separate tools.

Funnelish
Checkout funnels with upsells and order bumps
Funnelish is built around the checkout rather than the landing page, so one-click upsells, order bumps and post-purchase offers are the product instead of additions to it. A profitability report sits beside the funnel, which matters when ad spend and cost of goods decide whether a funnel works. It suits physical products sold direct. Anybody selling a single digital download will find the whole apparatus aimed at a transaction shape they do not have.
Our note
Judge this on average order value rather than on features, because the upsell flow is the only thing that justifies the price against a plain storefront. If your product has no natural companion to sell alongside it, there is nothing here for the upsell engine to do.

Kartra
Courses, funnels and email with a cart attached
Kartra sells the whole stack in one subscription: pages, checkout, email, membership and the course itself, with everything wired together on arrival. The trade is stated plainly on the pricing page, because the cheapest plan takes five percent of what you sell. Contact limits are the other constraint and they bind sooner than most people expect. Anybody with an email platform they like is paying twice.
Why people weigh these two
- Kartra instead of Funnelish
- Kartra bundles funnels, email and courses with a cart attached, from $59 a month.
- Funnelish instead of Kartra
- Funnelish is a checkout funnel builder with upsells and order bumps rather than a full course and email suite, from $49 after a trial, a narrower job than Kartra covers.
Which one should you pick
Pick Funnelish if you sell physical products direct to consumers with paid traffic and average order value is the number that decides whether the ads pay. Plans are $49 or $99 a month with no percentage taken from sales, and the profitability report puts ad spend and cost of goods next to revenue where a course platform would not think to.
Pick Kartra if you are launching a digital offer, a course or a membership, and would rather buy pages, email, checkout and hosting under one bill than assemble five tools yourself. Kartra's entry tier is $59 a month but adds a 5 percent transaction fee, which reaches $250 a month on just $5,000 of sales, more than the subscription itself, so model that fee before committing at any real volume.
Common questions
- Does either platform take a percentage of sales?
- Kartra does: 5 percent on its entry tier, on top of the $59-a-month subscription. Funnelish's listing lists no equivalent transaction fee on either its $49 or $99 plan.
- Which is cheaper for a physical product business?
- Funnelish is built specifically for that case: physical products, paid traffic, upsells and a profitability report, from $49 a month with no percentage taken. Kartra is built more broadly around digital offers, courses and memberships, and its 5 percent fee adds up fast on physical-goods volume.
- What does Kartra include that Funnelish does not?
- Full email marketing, membership hosting and course delivery, all under one subscription starting at $59 a month for 500 contacts. Funnelish is scoped to the checkout itself: upsells, order bumps and post-purchase offers, with no email or course hosting described in the listing.
- When does Kartra's transaction fee outweigh the subscription?
- At $5,000 a month in sales, the listing calculates the 5 percent fee at $250, already more than the $59 entry-tier subscription it sits on top of. Funnelish charges no equivalent fee, so its $49 or $99 monthly cost is the whole bill regardless of sales volume.
