CardelvsKartra

Kartra is the operator's all-in-one. Checkouts with one-time, recurring, or installment pricing, email and SMS campaigns that react to what a lead does, membership portals for courses, calendars with paid bookings, a helpdesk with tickets and a wiki, and split tests on up to four page versions. If you run offers, sequences, and a member area as one machine and want the analytics to match, Kartra was built for exactly that.

Cardel provides a home for your craft. Share and sell your work, grow your audience, and bring your community together on a site of your own. Cardel is not a membership site builder, a course platform, or a funnel builder, and it does not send SMS or run affiliates.

Where they are different

• Kartra pages are campaign pages first; a website is a group of them with shared menus. Cardel is a website first: blog posts with SEO URLs, Showcase and Shop pages, and a Schedule page, all indexed on your domain.

• Kartra has blog page templates and a WordPress push, not a blog engine. Cardel's blog has posts, feeds, reader accounts, comments, and post-to-email built in.

• Kartra's helpdesk takes tickets from a forwarded support address on Growth and up. Cardel hosts email on your domain for every plan and puts mail, contact form, and reader chat in one Messaging Center.

Choose Kartra when you sell through checkouts and sequences, deliver inside memberships, and want a helpdesk, affiliates, SMS, and split testing wired to the same lead record.

Choose Cardel when the work is a site people read and return to: a blog, a newsletter from your own address, a shop or bookings, and a single inbox, without a funnel stack to maintain.

You are the Forgemaster. Cardel is your forge. What you build is yours.
