We've run in-person retirement seminars for years. Moving that same strategy online means solving registration, hosting, and follow-up — Kartra and WebinarJam, made by the same company, cover different pieces of that puzzle.
Having run real in-person seminars ourselves, the online equivalent needs the same core pieces: a way for people to register, a way to actually deliver the presentation, and a follow-up system for the people who showed interest but didn't convert immediately. Kartra handles the funnel, email marketing, and membership/follow-up side. WebinarJam is the dedicated webinar hosting layer — live chat, automated replays, and registration flows built specifically for webinars, not funnels generally.
| Plan | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Kartra Essentials | ~$52–59/mo | 5% transaction fee on sales; no live webinars |
| Kartra Starter | ~$99–119/mo | 0% fee; still no live webinars |
| Kartra Growth | ~$189–229/mo | Unlocks live webinars, 300 attendees |
| Kartra Professional | ~$429–549/mo | Webinars up to 1,000 attendees |
| WebinarJam (separate product) | Tiered, varies by lead volume | Dedicated webinar hosting; 24% annual billing discount |
Important: Kartra's webinar features are gated behind the $189-229/mo Growth tier — the lower Essentials/Starter plans don't include live webinars at all, despite being marketed as all-in-one. Verified July 2026.
This is a vetted pick built on our own seminar experience, not a purely theoretical review. The real gotcha most reviews skip: Kartra's own webinar hosting is deliberately basic, since Kartra and WebinarJam come from the same company and are meant to be sold separately. If webinars are your actual priority — not just funnels and email — either budget for Kartra's Growth tier ($189+/mo) or pair a lower Kartra tier with WebinarJam directly for dedicated webinar hosting.
Essentials starts around $52-59/month (with a 5% sales fee). Growth, the first tier with live webinars, runs $189-229/month. Professional runs $429-549/month.
Kartra's webinar features are intentionally basic. For serious webinar-based lead generation, WebinarJam as a dedicated tool is often the better fit.
Yes for funnels, email, and follow-up. Budget for the Growth tier if webinars specifically are the priority, or pair with WebinarJam.
