 Cartra versus Kajabi, the best choice revealed. Okay, so have you been trying to figure out, I got this membership thing and I'm thinking about Kajabi and I'm thinking about Cartra, thinking about Kajabi and I'm thinking about Cartra, which way do I go? Well, at the end of this video, I think you're gonna know which way to go. I think it's gonna be pretty clear. Now, I'm not going to put on any fronts and tell you I'm not biased because I am, but I'm biased because I'm right. Watch to the end of this video and I bet you'll agree. Hey, everybody, you are thinking about doing a membership site and that's pretty awesome. I mean, I like membership sites. I have membership sites. These membership sites have made me a lot of money and man, you're heading in the right direction, okay? And if you're doing this research right here, you're doing the smart thing because there are a few membership sites out there. And I would say if you've narrowed it down to Kajabi or Cartra, you've probably narrowed it down to the two best ones that are out there. You don't have to look any further, okay? You could pick one of these and either way, you've done pretty well, but one does outshine the other one and I'll explain to you why in just a second. First off, let's take a look at all this stuff. I was skeptical at first and I didn't understand how these membership sites worked. I had Kajabi and I worked in Kajabi and I didn't use it for a long time. I should have, you know, I was one of those donators, you know, you pay for a software, you don't actually even use it. I actually was one of those people for a while. I now have Cartra, but I want to tell you why I have Cartra and why I didn't use Kajabi and maybe you can kind of relate to. Cartra basically has 11 different pieces of software apps built into it all at one place. So they work seamlessly. You won't notice it's 11 different things. You're just gonna think there's a whole bunch of things that you can do with that software. Kajabi kind of tries to piece together some things. The main thing I really like about Cartra is that you can host videos in there. You cannot host videos in Kajabi. You're gonna have to put it on Wistia. And the reason being is they don't have a hosting platform. Now you may say, well, it doesn't really make much difference as long as it plays the video, but it does make a difference because Cartra has analytics. So when you put a video in there, let's say you've got a whole course and there's 10 videos and video three is where everybody stops, you know, on your course. They never make it to video four or let's say 99% of them never make it to video four and you're like, why do they stop in there? You'll never know if you're in Kajabi because those are just hosted videos. But in Cartra, you'll know why because you can look at the exact spot that most people stop in. Maybe it's a 10 minute video and they always stop at two and a half minutes and maybe at two and a half minutes, something happened. Maybe the video cut off. You know, maybe you said something wrong. Something on that video at that point was making everybody stop and you can fix it. You'll never be able to do that with Kajabi. Now they say that the main differences are that Cartra is focused more on selling products where Kajabi is more focused on selling courses. But I don't believe that to be true. I believe they're both focused on selling products and the product can be a course. It doesn't matter if it's a digital course or physical, you know, product. It doesn't matter. A product is a product is a product. And here's the other thing. Cartra allows you to have four different membership levels whereas Kajabi only allows you three. Keep in mind also that Cartra was designed by Mike Philsame and Andy Jenkins and promoted by Frank Kern who are top internet marketers and they're experts at making funnels and sales pages whereas Kajabi just doesn't have that capability. Now Cartra accepts credit card and PayPal payments and Kajabi will accept Stripe and PayPal payments but keep in mind if you have a Stripe account people can still use their credit card. It doesn't matter. I think every software should have support and Cartra does too. Cartra will offer email support for every single level of their plan whereas Kajabi only offers 24-7 chat support for their growth in pro plans. So you don't get the support if you're at the lower level. And I think that's kind of funny because if you're at a super high level you probably don't need support. If you're at the really low level you do need support. So I think it's interesting that they don't give you support at the lower level. Now I've made a list if you don't mind I'm going to look over here for just a second. I made a list of Cartra versus Kajabi the similarities, okay? Here's the similarities. They both have a pretty professional onboarding process and I don't mind either one of them. They're both okay. I think Cartra is far better. Facebook support groups they both have those how active those groups are. That's up to you. I haven't been in the Kajabi one in a while. I do go in the Cartra one and you know the Cartra one I don't go in much because all it is is people complimenting the software. I don't see people having that many problems in there. They do both offer an all-in-one platform. So you know Kajabi's got other things in there that help you out but not near as many as Cartra does. Cartra has 11 apps built into it. Each one has a training center and what I found is I don't like training centers in general so I wouldn't say either one of them is great. I would say Cartra is far better than Kajabi but you know I make videos all the time on YouTube about Cartra and people like to watch those videos but don't want to go to the training ones that the actual program has. I don't know why. Now they both have feature requests to improve the software but I don't see Kajabi changing much. I do see Cartra coming out with improvements it seems like weekly they come out with more and more things they offer more and more things and not charging you more but just saying hey we've added this feature it's now free to you. I see that happening all the time. As a matter of fact not too long ago maybe a year or two ago they offered unlimited emails so it didn't matter you know how many emails you sent out they weren't going to charge you more that's crazy but it's great and it's really good for the marketer. They both have different membership tiers. Cartra is all based on the size of your list Kajabi is not. They both have progress tracking which is good and they should and they both have upsells in there also which is important. They both have an email automation Cartra is far better in that aspect though the one in Kajabi is not bad it's just not good as Cartra. They also have customer segmentation you can do they both accept PayPal which I already mentioned in addition to that they have customized themes each one has a customized theme if anything maybe Kajabi has a little bit better looking themes and Cartra does but it is interesting you know how customized you want that because at that point somebody's already bought the course anyhow so if it's not the prettiest one in town it's not going to matter they've already bought your course not to say that you know Cartra is bad because it's not it looks fine it's just maybe Kajabi looks a little bit better. Now they both have affiliate programs what's what's interesting is Cartra has an affiliate program on all the different plans but on Kajabi you got to be on the pro or premium which makes no sense to me because they could make money in at every level I don't know why they would want to do that they both have a sales funnel builder I like Cartra much better they also have drag and drop page builders Cartra's far superior there they have a whole lot more templates it just looks better and understand Cartra was built by digital marketers so there's a lot of really successful templates in there that you're getting access to which I think is pretty cool and like I said earlier as far as video hosting Cartra hosts the videos whereas Kajabi uses Wistia now you may say well I don't care where it gets hosted it makes a huge difference and the reason it makes a huge difference is in Cartra and keep in mind they don't charge you for hosting it there in Cartra you will know when somebody ends a video now why is that important? well let's say you've got a 10 video course okay and most people are quitting on the third video and you haven't hosted in Kajabi and Wistia and all you know is people quit on the third video they never make it to video four now with Cartra you could actually go and see exactly where they quit the video did they quit it at two minutes, four minutes, three minutes maybe at three and a half minutes there was a glitch in the video something went wrong and the video wasn't working properly or maybe you said something there that turned people off or maybe something happened or maybe there was a loud noise that got picked up on the audio I don't know but at least you'll know where they're dropping off on that video you'll never know that with Kajabi so you can't fix it that analytics of your video is so very important and the other place that comes into play too if you have a video sales page and it's not selling with Wistia all you'll know is that they didn't watch to the end okay whereas with Cartra you'll know exactly where the majority of the people dropped off once again it could be something you said it could be a glitch it could be something that's turning people off but you'll know that precise moment where most people left and if a lot of people are leaving at a particular moment it's something you need to change your video you'll never know that with Wistia so all in all you've guessed it I like Cartra I switched to Cartra you know I went from eight different pieces of software down to one and it saved me money every single month now if you want to save money and have a better product you want you some Cartra okay if you want to host your own videos and know the analytics you want you some Cartra if you want the best marketing tools and templates you want you some Cartra okay Kajabi's not bad so why go with not bad but you could have much better and save yourself a whole lot of money I think that's super important now I also look at Cartra is something that I know I know because of their history I've been with them two three years I don't know maybe three years now it's been a while but I know they're going to give me more stuff I know they're going to keep improving the platform I know it's going to get better and better matter of fact they've improved it so much at this point that there's a lot of things in there that I haven't used yet okay I haven't used them it's like I got to use that new thing they just did something cool with the calendar and it integrates with my emails and I got to use that I just haven't figured out how to use that yet whereas a lot of these platforms you know they take the money every single month and it's pretty much the same thing every single month so another thing that I think is super important that you should think is important too is the importance of smashing that button down there subscribe to my channel right smashing the like button and the subscribe button and don't forget ring the bell that was a bad bell ring let me try one more time ring no hang on one more time ring the bell there you go turn on all bell notifications make sure you turn on all bell notifications so you are notified every single time I do a new video I really appreciate you watching this video you guys mean a lot to me put in the comments you know have you tried Khartra have you tried Kajah I can't think of Kajabi's name I should be able to I just did a whole video on this thing okay so put in the comments if you like Khartra or if you like Kajabi put in there why you like it and if you try Khartra and you get good results which you will you will if you try it put that in the comments so you can come back to this video later on and say I thank you JR that's a great program I really appreciate it don't forget if you want to get Khartra I do have a link in the description down there and you can click the link you can watch an entire video on all the stuff that Khartra does and if you choose to get it you can get a trial for only one dollar one dollar is pretty cheap check it out I think you'll like it I really appreciate you watching this video and I'll see you in the next one subscribe to my channel and click that little bell right there so you can be notified every time I do a new video also click on one of those videos there keep watching on my channel
