For coaches, consultants and advisors who sell through Kartra
Kartra gets you clients.TalentCafe delivers the work.
A page, a campaign, a checkout. Kartra is built to sell, and it does. TalentCafe is built for the hour after the sale: the session, the write-up, the plan, the invoice.
$199 a month. One plan, month to month. Using it more does not change it.
No card. 14 days of everything, then you stay free with up to 3 active clients.
Example practice. Not a customer.
What Kartra is for
Kartra did its job. Then the job changed.
You bought it to sell, and it sold. Someone paid. Then the work started, and it started somewhere else.
So the meeting is a Zoom or Google Meet room attached to a Kartra booking. The notes are in a doc. The plan is a spreadsheet the client has never seen. The recap was never written. The invoice comes from whichever tool you invoice with.
Kartra is not failing at any of this. Its own line is “the all-in-one platform that turns your expertise into scalable income,” and its tools are built for exactly that: sales funnels, email at volume, checkouts, affiliate management and webinars. Courses, paid memberships and cohorts are here too, on the one plan, sold through your own Stripe account, and so are lead pages, sequences, newsletters, virtual events and a referral program. What Kartra adds is the machinery for selling at scale, and Kartra AI writes the copy that machine runs on. The AI here does a different job: it drafts the product itself, and it does the moving in. If selling at that scale is your business, keep Kartra. The rest of this page is for the practice whose clients have names.
Where the two part ways
The day after someone pays you.
Same client, same money, the morning after. Kartra is built to reach the sale. Here, that is where the work starts.
On Kartra
The calendar books the appointment
One-to-one, weekly recurring, group or live event, free or paid, with email reminders and Google Calendar sync.
The meeting is a Zoom or Google Meet room
Attached through an integration with your Zoom or Google account.
The course lives in a membership site
One membership on Essentials, unlimited from Starter up.
The client is a contact
And contacts are what the plan is priced on: 500, 2,500, 12,500 or 25,000, by tier.
The next sale is already in motion
Funnels, email marketing and affiliate management keep working while you deliver.
On TalentCafe
The session runs here
In the browser, by link, nothing to install. Working hours, buffers and minimum notice guard the slot, and the reminders go out without you.
The write-up is done when you hang up
Captions run through the call. A summary comes from the transcript and your notes, and you decide whether the client sees it.
The plan has tasks that get checked off
Draft it with AI, assign it, and see what got done between sessions.
The client is a client
A portal at no cost to them, and no count of clients anywhere on the bill.
The next thing you sell is drafted for you
Describe a course, a membership, a group program, an event or a newsletter and the AI drafts it to edit. Sold through your own Stripe account.
Getting paid
The invoice comes from you.
Invoices go out under your practice address. Contracts go out for signature from a template you keep, and more than one person can sign them.
You keep what you charge. A client’s payment is charged on your own Stripe account, and Stripe bills its processing fee directly at its own rate. We do not add to it and we do not take a cut.
Kartra lists a 0% transaction fee from Starter up, and 5% on Essentials. There is no plan here where the answer changes.
Moving the list
Bring the list. It takes an afternoon.
Kartra exports your contacts as a CSV. Drop the file in here and the columns are read and matched for you; an uncertain match is flagged rather than guessed.
No Kartra preset yet
The ready-made column maps are for SimplePractice, Jane, Pipedrive and Senior Place. A Kartra export is read column by column, and the layout is remembered.
Undo the import for 72 hours
If the Kartra export mapped badly, one button puts it back.
Nothing else has to move on day one
Kartra keeps the funnel and the checkout while you move. Courses and memberships come across when you are ready; the content moves by hand.

What the AI is for
It drafts the thing, not just the copy about it.
Kartra’s own site lists Kartra AI under what you create, described as “Generate compelling copy instantly.” The AI here starts something else: the product you have not built yet, and the afternoon you would spend moving in.
A course, from a description
It drafts the outline: the modules, and the lessons inside them, ready for you to fill in. Finish it with a certificate you designed once.
A membership or a group program
A community with its spaces, or a cohort with its sessions already on a schedule.
An event, a newsletter, a contract
Ticket tiers and an agenda. An issue with a cover image. A reusable contract template carrying your placeholders.
Moving in
It reads your export and says which column is which, flags what it is unsure of, and remembers the layout.
The hour after the session
A recap from the call’s own transcript and the notes you took, and a development plan you assign.
All of it arrives as a draft
Nothing is published and no email leaves until you have read it and said so.
What your client sees is your business.
Kartra gives a Starter account one custom domain too, and a practice only needs one. Point your apex domain at the practice and we verify it and issue the certificate; the portal carries your logo and the email carries your address. Under it your client finds a portal, their sessions and their plan.
What it costs
$199 a month. Contacts are not counted.
One plan, month to month. $159 a month if you pay for the year, $1,908 billed once. Nothing is metered.
Kartra is priced on the size of your list: $59 a month for 500 contacts, $119 for 2,500, $229 for 12,500 and $549 for 25,000; paid yearly, $52, $99, $189 and $429 a month. Kartra’s Starter plan, for up to 2,500 contacts, is $80 a month less than ours. The $199 is priced for the hour after the sale.
Kartra’s pricing page says that if you reach your plan’s maximum number of leads “you will be automatically upgraded to the next tier” and “charged a mid-cycle reconciliation fee for this upgrade.” Above 2,500 contacts that tier is $229. Ours is still $199.
And the bottom of the plan is a floor rather than a gate: 14 days free with no card, then up to 3 active clients for as long as you like.
Free for 14 days, then a floor
No card. When the days end you keep up to 3 active clients and 10 AI summaries a month, for as long as you like.
Export everything, any time
If you leave, you take it with you, from Settings, on the free plan too.
“I was honestly wondering why is so cheap. You get a lot for your money.”
No card. 14 days of everything, then you stay free with up to 3 active clients.

What you are about to ask.
Do I have to leave Kartra?
No. Kartra sells, TalentCafe delivers, and the people Kartra wins get a client record on TalentCafe. If your Kartra use has shrunk to a calendar and a checkout, there may be nothing left to keep.
Does TalentCafe host the video call, or is it Zoom?
It runs in the browser. You and your guests join by link, with nothing to install and no account for the guest to make. Kartra’s calendar books the slot and attaches a Zoom or Google Meet room through an integration.
What about my courses and membership site?
TalentCafe builds them with you. Describe the course and its AI drafts the outline, the modules and the lessons inside them, for you to fill in and price. Describe the membership and it drafts the community and its spaces; describe a group program and it lays out the sessions for you to move. A course can finish with a certificate in your own name, issued when every lesson is done, carrying a number and a link anyone you show it to can check. Enrollments and membership subscriptions are charged on your own Stripe account. If your courses and membership are built in Kartra and earning, there is no rush: the content moves by hand and the people move by CSV.
Is Kartra cheaper than TalentCafe?
Kartra’s Starter plan is $119 a month for up to 2,500 contacts, against our $199. Paid yearly, $99 a month against our $159. Above 2,500 contacts Kartra’s next plan is $229 a month; ours does not change, because the plan is not priced on contacts.
What happens if I stop paying?
TalentCafe does not lock you out. The 14 days are free with no card, and when they end you land on a free tier that keeps up to 3 active clients and 10 AI summaries a month, with everything you have already put in, and you can export all of it from Settings at any time. Kartra’s help center says that when your prepaid time has been used, service will end automatically.
Who am I buying from?
A three-person company in the United States. There is no support tier between you and the person who wrote the code you are asking about. We cannot speak for Kartra’s support, so we will not.
Start with the clients Kartra already won you.
Export them this afternoon and drop the file in. If it is not better than what you have now, nothing happens and nothing is charged.
No card. 14 days of everything, then you stay free with up to 3 active clients.
