    Genesis Digital
    Kartra is a great platform for a service-based business that needs a moderate cost solution and one-stop shop for their business needs. Kartra has a marketplace of professionals that can train and or get your services set up in the system. The access to Kartra experts is valuable since the platform does have a bit of a learning curve and is not user-friendly when just starting out.

    It's a great platform if you're looking for something to run contests that provide leads and drive user engagement, but if they also incorporated social media management and scheduling, Wishpond would be a 10 by far. It's definitely worth looking into specifically for running contests throughout the year, for a wide variety of companies and industries.

    • Very small learning curve, thanks to wonderful real-time tutorials and help, and drag-and-drop editors.
    • Easy to navigate - there are only 3 main sections of the site (content, lists, and emails).
    • Excellent customer service. I've always gotten prompt answers to any questions I've had.

    • They added keywords to campaigns we'd specifically said not to.
    • They should tweak campaigns with a 0.06 ROAS.
    • They should provide the services that are promised.

    There is no support at Wishpond. I contacted my project manager's manager over a week ago without a reply. When I responded to the automated 'How is your experience' email saying how awful it was there was no follow-up. When I had trouble and had to escalate things it resulted in some new procedures being put in place that changed nothing and they never checked in to see if things were fixed.

    I switched from Teachable to Karta. Teachable was at a lower price point but I found it harder to use and didn't provide all of the features the Kartra offers. I also experienced holding on to funds for a long period of time after a transaction has been completed. I'm happy that I switched.

    We choose Wishpond as our first option since we were a startup e-commerce. Klaviyo was a little bit expensive for us and Wishpond really suits pretty well in our budget. Besides, if you don't have so many clients, at a first glance, there are a lot of features that would not be taken advantage of. That is why Wishpond was a better option when we started.

    Return on Investment
    Genesis Digital
    • Great return on investment because you are able to get rid of many of the other programs you may be using.
    • Access to Kartra experts to get you up to speed on how to use the platform is a great value added within the Kartra marketplace. You can also add your services to the marketplace.
    • The CRM within Karta is top-notch. Allowing you to segment and tag your clients based on your own criteria.

    • Negative google ROI.
    • A few conversions in September on paid social then none - negative ROI.
    • Between ad spend and Wishpond fees every month is negative ROI. Can’t wait until I can get out of this contract.
    • Emails don’t perform as well as my own for open rates or clicks.
