Both cover landing pages & funnels. Here is what separates them on price, billing, what you can take with you, and coverage.

Courses, funnels and email with a cart attached

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.

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.
Ratings are the average of reviews readers left. The facts are stated by each tool’s own listing and are not verified by CloutStack. How we make money.

Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Our note
Work out the transaction fee against your expected sales before choosing Essentials, because at any real volume the dearer plan is cheaper once the percentage stops applying. Systeme.io covers similar ground on a free tier and Kajabi is the closer comparison at the top end.
