Kartra helps you run campaigns. Cohere helps you run a coaching business.

Kartra was designed around the funnel: capture a lead, run a sequence, sell a digital product, upsell. That works beautifully when the product is content. Coaching is different. The sale is the start of a relationship that involves calendars, packages, sessions, groups, notes, messages, renewals, and referrals. In Cohere, all of that sits behind the same login as your pages, emails, and payments, so nothing gets stitched together with a scheduler, a video tool, and a spreadsheet.

Where Cohere is built to lead

  • Scheduling, packages, and subscriptions built for coaching
  • Live groups, workshops, courses, memberships, and community in one place
  • Human business coaching and done for you setup included with the subscription

Where Kartra is genuinely strong

  • Funnel mapping, split testing, and behavioural automation
  • Built in affiliate management for launches
  • Mature page and checkout builder with campaign imports

AI that builds the campaign with you

Go from an idea to a designed campaign by chatting with Caela

Caela guides the entire creation process for your services, landing pages, and email marketing. Describe what you want in a chat prompt and Caela can help shape the offer and messaging, create fully custom AI-designed landing pages, and produce custom-designed marketing emails, not only plain copy. Because Caela works inside the same platform as your contacts, offers, scheduling, payments, and delivery, the campaign can lead directly into the coaching experience you sell.

Services

Turn your expertise into a structured, marketable 1:1 offer, package, group program, workshop, course, membership, or community.

Custom landing pages

Prompt Caela to create a fully custom AI-designed landing page around the offer, audience, message, and action you want visitors to take.

Custom-designed emails

Prompt Caela to create on-brand, custom-designed marketing emails as part of the campaign, not merely suggest subject lines or draft body copy.

Why coaches move from Kartra to Cohere

Booking stops being a bolt on.

Discovery calls, packages, recurring sessions, reminders, and payment all run inside the same system as the offer that sold them.

Delivery lives with the sale.

Clients get one home for sessions, group programs, content, chat, and documents instead of a membership area plus three other logins.

You get people, not just software.

Every plan includes onboarding, Cohere Academy, weekly live coaching, and the 60-Day Launch Accelerator. Higher plans add a dedicated Success Coach.

The build is done with you.

Accelerate and Transform and Scale include done for you setup and migration support, so your offers, pages, and delivery get moved without a rebuild project.

More than software

A platform, a growth team, and a place to be discovered

Cohere is not only an all-in-one coaching platform. Your subscription connects the software to practical business mentorship, a community of coaches and healers, and marketplace visibility, so you have tools for running the business and human support for growing it.

Start without artificial growth limits

Even the Impact plan includes unlimited contacts, storage, services and lead magnets, scheduling pages, group courses and workshops, memberships and communities, forms and quizzes, plus a services website and offer landing pages. Impact also includes 5,000 marketing emails per month. Unlimited contacts refers to clients and leads, not unlimited administrator or sub-account seats.

Get real human business support

Every subscription includes group onboarding, a full year of Cohere Academy access, weekly live founder and expert business coaching, the 60-Day Launch Accelerator, and the Cohere community. Accelerate and Transform and Scale add dedicated 1:1 Success Coach support.

Let Cohere help build and move it

Accelerate includes done-for-you setup and migration support for two services. Transform and Scale expands that support to four services, helping you move offers, content, scheduling, onboarding, and delivery with less technical friction.

Use AI, visibility, and ads to grow

Caela guides the creation of services, landing pages, and email campaigns, including fully custom AI-designed landing pages and custom-designed marketing emails generated through chat prompts. Every plan includes Cohere Marketplace lead generation, while the annual Transform and Scale plan includes 90 days of ad-management support.

Marketplace placement and advertising support can increase visibility, but neither guarantees leads, sales, or bookings. Feature availability, usage allowances, and done-for-you scope follow the current plan terms.

One relationship, from first click to lasting transformation

    Prompt Caela to create custom-designed marketing emails, then keep the relationship moving with contacts, campaigns, sequences and automations by plan.

    Run private coaching, live groups, workshops, courses, memberships, communities, chat, scheduling, and video from the same client home.

  5. 5

    Expand

    Invite the client into the next right offer while Cohere Academy, Success support, and Caela help you strengthen the business behind the transformation.

Cohere keeps marketing, selling, delivery, and retention connected. Your clients get one coherent experience, and you get one place to run the business.

A fair look

Where Kartra might be the better fit

Funnel-first businesses

If most of your revenue comes from paid traffic into multi step funnels with upsells and downsells, Kartra's builder and split testing are deeper.

Affiliate driven launches

Kartra includes affiliate management, commissions, and partner tracking natively.

Pure digital product catalogues

If you never sell your time, the coaching-native parts of Cohere are capability you would not use.

We would rather you choose the right tool than switch and regret it. If your business is genuinely funnel first, say so on the call and we will tell you.

FAQ

Cohere vs Kartra, answered

Is Cohere a good Kartra alternative for coaches?

Yes, if you sell coaching rather than only digital products. Cohere covers the marketing layer you use in Kartra and adds native scheduling, packages, sessions, group programs, community, client delivery, and human business support.

Does Cohere replace Kartra plus my scheduler and video tool?

For most coaching businesses, yes. Scheduling, packages, reminders, live video, client chat, courses, memberships, and communities are all native to Cohere, so a typical Kartra plus Calendly plus Zoom plus community stack collapses into one subscription.

What does Kartra do better than Cohere?

Funnel mapping, split testing, deep behavioural automation, and native affiliate management. If those are the center of your business model, Kartra is the more specialised tool.

How hard is it to migrate from Kartra?

On Accelerate, Cohere includes done for you setup and migration support for two services, and Transform and Scale covers four. Most coaches move their main offer first and run a short overlap.

Does Cohere charge transaction fees?

Cohere charges no platform transaction surcharge. Standard payment processing fees still apply.

Can Caela design landing pages and marketing emails?

Yes. Caela guides you through creating services, landing pages, and email campaigns, and can generate fully custom AI-designed landing pages and custom-designed marketing emails from chat prompts. You can move from an idea to a connected campaign inside the same platform where clients discover, buy, and experience your offers.

Can Cohere replace several tools in my coaching business?

Often, yes. Cohere can bring together your website and landing pages, lead capture, email marketing, scheduling, payments, 1:1 coaching, group programs, courses, memberships, communities, client communication, video, AI support, and marketplace presence. Whether it can replace every tool depends on the specialist capabilities you use in Kartra. A free call can map what should move, what can be consolidated, and what may be worth keeping.
