Straight answers, tools K–L

Kartra is genuinely best for creators and coaches who want funnels, email, checkout, memberships and scheduling under one roof instead of five subscriptions. Skip it if you only need one of those pieces — a dedicated tool does that piece better and cheaper than an all-in-one.

(re-verified 2026-09-05 on their own pricing page) Four tiers, monthly against yearly: Essentials $59 / $52, Starter $119 / $99, Growth $229 / $189 and Professional $549 / $429, with yearly billing advertised as saving up to 22% and a 14-day trial. The tier names moved since our August reading — the $119 plan is now called Starter and the $229 plan Growth — while every amount stayed the same. The line that changes the arithmetic and is missing from most summaries: Essentials charges a 5% transaction fee on your sales, and the tiers above it charge 0%. On $10,000 a month of sales that fee is $500, which makes the $60 step from Essentials to Starter trivially worth taking. Contacts are capped at 500, 2,500, 12,500 and 25,000 across the four tiers; Essentials sends 10,000 emails and texts a month against unlimited above it and includes 1 custom domain. Kartra never blocks new leads: it upgrades you automatically to the tier that fits and charges a mid-cycle reconciliation fee for the move — two answers above that one, the same FAQ says a Kartra subscription is flat-rate and there are never any extra fees. Always verify the live price.

If your core need is polished course delivery, Kajabi's creator features are stronger; Kartra wins on all-in-one breadth, not course depth.

Katana MRP is genuinely best for product makers and small manufacturers who need live inventory, production scheduling and multi-channel order sync in one cloud platform. Skip it if you're a simple reseller who doesn't manufacture (a plain inventory tool is cheaper), or your volume is too low to justify the add-on-driven real cost.

(re-verified 2026-08-17) A Free plan covering 30 SKUs with unlimited users, integrations and locations plus full features and API, then Core starting at $299/mo with unlimited SKUs and users and 24/7 support, and an Advantage tier on custom pricing. The add-ons are where the real cost sits and they are priced separately: manufacturing routings and insights $199/mo, end-to-end traceability via batch or serial numbers $249/mo, warehouse management with bin locations and pick-and-pack $149/mo, plus an optional $2,000 item on the page. Higher monthly sales-order volume also raises the effective cost. Always verify the live price.

The $299 headline is the floor. Production routings and traceability are paid add-ons on top, and those are exactly the features most manufacturers need, which is why real bills often land two to three times higher. Cost also rises with sales-order volume, so a busy month is a bigger month. It's genuinely capable manufacturing software; just price the add-ons you need, not the base plan.

Keap is genuinely best for service-based small businesses, coaches and solopreneurs who want CRM, email, payments and automation in one tool — and will invest the time to learn it. Skip it if you're price-sensitive, want a modern UI, or only need simple email — the cost and learning curve bite.

Starting at $299/mo billed monthly for the whole platform, with no feature-based tiers and no free plan (re-verified 2026-09-05 on their own pricing page). That $299 is what the calculator quotes for its own minimum: 2 users and 1,500 contacts. Raising only the contact count on the same calculator gives $335 at 2,500, $449 at 5,000, $539 at 10,000 and $719 at 25,000, and users beyond the first two are $39 a month each. Keap also requires paid implementation services — strategy consulting, data import and migration — quoted separately before you go live. Text marketing is bundled at Tier 1 (500 messages and 100 voice minutes) and steps to $24, $39, $79, $139 and $279 a month above that, with overages at $0.015 a message and $0.01 a voice minute; it is US-only. Cancelling an annual contract before its term ends carries a $299 early termination fee, and cancellation must be started by phone at least ten days before the next invoice date. Keap has been acquired by Thryv; its own pages now route training to Thryv Academy. Always verify the live price.

Cost is the big one (56% of reviewers flag it), the interface feels dated, and there's a real 2–4 week learning curve on the automation builder. Billing and cancellation complaints are common — their own terms carry a $299 early termination fee on an annual contract and require ten days' phone notice — and email design is thinner than dedicated email tools.

Keeper Security is genuinely best for teams that need shared credentials with real admin control and audit, and that will genuinely use the provisioning and role-based access that separate this from a consumer password manager. Skip it if you are under five people wanting a shared vault, since Business Starter is scoped at 5–10 users and Keeper's own Personal plan at $4.34 a month, or Family at $9.28, covers that case for less.

(re-verified 2026-09-06 on their own business and add-on pricing pages) Three business tiers, all billed annually: Business Starter at $2.00 per user per month, described as protection for 5–10 users; Business at $4.00 per user per month; Enterprise at $6.00 per user per month, sold through Request a Quote. The amounts are injected by script, so a page fetched without rendering shows the tiers with the figures missing. Personal and family plans are priced on their own page: Personal $4.34 per month ($52.02 billed annually) and Family $9.28 per month ($111.31 billed annually). The add-ons carry their own list: BreachWatch and KeeperChat $24 per user per year, Advanced Reporting & Alerts and Compliance Reports $12 per user per year, Endpoint Privilege Manager $36 per endpoint per year, Secure File Storage from $132 per year, Professional Services from $270 per year, with Connection Manager and Keeper Secrets Manager quote-only. Always verify the live price.

The per-user price is the smallest part of the bill. Read the add-ons page next to the plan page and the shape becomes clear: BreachWatch and KeeperChat are $24 per user per year each, Advanced Reporting & Alerts and Compliance Reports $12 per user per year each, endpoint privilege management $36 per endpoint per year — so a Business seat at $4.00 a month can quietly double once you add the monitoring and reporting most buyers assume is included, and Connection Manager and Secrets Manager are not even priced. Annual billing is stated on every tier, so there is no month-to-month option to test with, and Business Starter is scoped at 5–10 users. Ask for the base plan and each add-on you need as separate lines, because a bundled quote here hides which part is actually costing you.

Kinsta is genuinely best for business-critical WordPress sites where speed, uptime and expert support directly affect revenue. Skip it if you run a small, low-traffic site on a tight budget — entry-level shared hosting or a caching plugin gets you most of the way for a fraction of the price.

(re-verified 2026-08-17 on their own plans page, USD, tax excluded) Managed WordPress hosting from $35/mo for a single site, or $30/mo billed annually $350 a year, with the first month free on top — Kinsta advertises annual as two months off. That entry plan carries one WordPress install, 10GB storage, 125GB CDN bandwidth and 14 days of backup retention, and you choose whether it is metered on bandwidth (20GB) or on visits (35,000), which is a real change from the visit-only plans older reviews describe. Multi-site plans start at $59/mo $700 a year for two installs, and agency plans start at $340/mo, or $284/mo billed annually at $3,400 a year. It is a premium tier — cheaper shared hosts exist. There is no exclusive discount code to look for: Kinsta confirmed to us on 28 Jul 2026 that it gives no partner-only or affiliate-only discounts. Always verify the live price.

You're paying a premium for managed speed, Google Cloud infrastructure and expert support — worth it if performance and hands-off management matter, wasteful on a low-traffic hobby site a $5 shared host would carry fine.

Kit is genuinely best for creators, writers and coaches building an audience-first business who want email, landing pages, digital products and a creator network in one. Skip it if you're an e-commerce store (commerce-native email tools fit better) or your list is big-but-cold — clean it before paying per subscriber.

(re-verified 2026-09-02) The free plan is $0/mo and covers up to 10,000 email subscribers, with unlimited landing pages and forms, unlimited email broadcasts, audience tagging and segmentation, and digital products and subscriptions. Kit renamed the old Newsletter plan to Free and took automation out of it: Visual Automations and email sequences are now Creator-and-above, and Kit's affiliate briefing of 2 September 2026 adds that new free accounts open with a 14-day Creator trial and that accounts already on the Newsletter plan keep what they had. Creator is $39/mo billed monthly, or $33/mo billed yearly ($390 a year, saving $78), and adds unlimited Visual Automations, unlimited email sequences, Kit MCP, SMS marketing and branding removal. Pro — the tier that adds Subscriber Signals, engagement analytics, deliverability reporting, a newsletter referral system and unlimited users — is $79/mo billed monthly, or $66/mo billed yearly ($790 a year, saving $158). Paying yearly saves 17%. Every paid price on the page is quoted for 1,000 email subscribers and Kit bills by list size, so read the tier for your own list before you budget. Paid plans open with a 14-day free trial without a card, and migrations are free. Always verify the live price.

Three honest notes. Subscriber-based pricing counts everyone on your list — cold subscribers cost the same as fans, so prune before you price. The free plan changed shape in 2026: it now runs to 10,000 subscribers rather than 1,000 (re-verified 2026-09-02), but Visual Automations and email sequences came out of it, so the free tier sends and captures without automating anything — what puts you on Creator at $39/mo, or $33/mo paid yearly, is wanting a welcome sequence rather than list growth. And the 35% price hike in 2025 changed the value math: the free tier is still arguably the best in creator email, but paid tiers now deserve comparison shopping rather than default loyalty. The creator-first features (tip jars, paid newsletters, recommendations) remain the real differentiator.

Kite is genuinely best for shopify stores that want the discount mechanics themselves — gift with purchase, buy X get Y, tiered and volume pricing, with progress bars pushing the cart toward the next reward — built on native Shopify Functions rather than theme edits. Skip it if your promotions are simple enough for Shopify's own discount engine, or you are on Advanced or Plus and unwilling to start at $49 — and if all you need is a pile of unique codes, a code generator does that for a third of the price.

(prices read 2026-09-06 on apps.shopify.com/kite-free-gift) Four plans, billed in USD every 30 days. The Free plan is free to install and covers the first 50 discount orders each month; the listing states that $29 a month is billed only if you go over 50 orders. Starter is $29 a month, or $299 a year at a stated 14% saving, and adds unlimited discount orders, combined offers, progress bars and up to 10K bulk codes. Growth is $49 a month, or $499 a year at 15%, and raises bulk codes to 100K with multiple rules per offer and campaign links. Pro is $99 a month, or $999 a year at 16%, and adds custom discount functions, checkout gifts (Plus only) and segment targeting. The three paid tiers carry a 7-day free trial. Free and Starter both say 'Not for Shopify Advanced and Plus'. Always verify the live price.

'Free to install' is doing a lot of work on this listing. The free plan covers the first 50 discount orders a month, and the same panel says $29 a month is billed once you pass them — so it is a threshold with an invoice behind it, not a free tier you can settle on. A store running one decent promotion will cross 50 discounted orders in days and be on Starter money without choosing to upgrade. The second catch is written on the plans themselves: Free and Starter are both labelled 'Not for Shopify Advanced and Plus', so if you are on either of those Shopify plans your real entry price is the $49 Growth tier, not the $29 the listing leads with. And the feature most likely to sell the app to a large merchant — free gifts added at checkout — is marked Plus only and sits in the $99 Pro tier, which means the Plus stores it is built for pay $1,188 a year to reach it.

Kiwi Sizing is genuinely best for apparel and accessory stores where sizing drives returns, and that want charts plus an AI fit recommender without building either — 4.7 stars from 1,188 reviews on 4 September 2026 is a genuinely strong base, though the recent ones read differently from the aggregate. Skip it if you sell one-size or non-wearable products, where a size chart answers a question nobody asks, or you need more than ten charts and would land on a tier whose order-volume charges are not published.

(read 5 September 2026 on apps.shopify.com/kiwi-sizing) Four tiers, and the interesting line is not the price but the sentence under it. Free publishes up to three size charts with 22 templates and unlimited CSV import, and puts a Kiwi watermark on your storefront. Premium is $7.99 a month for up to ten charts, removes the watermark, adds Google Analytics and auto-translation into English and Spanish, and states plainly: no additional monthly charges. Plus, the tier the store marks Popular, is $14.99 for up to twenty charts, ten size recommenders and six languages. Ultimate is $26.99 for unlimited charts and recommenders and 22 languages. Both Plus and Ultimate carry the same caveat that Premium does not: additional charges apply based on order volume, and the listing does not say what those charges are. Import credits are an optional add-on on every paid tier, and all three come with a 14-day free trial. The listing adds that all charges are billed in USD and that recurring and usage-based charges are billed every 30 days. So the cheapest paid plan is the only one whose bill you can predict, and the one the store pushes is not. Always verify the live price.

The free plan is not limited by the chart count most people assume. Three charts is generous for a small catalogue; the real limit is the Kiwi watermark sitting on your storefront, and removing it is what the $7.99 buys. Judge the free tier on whether you can live with that watermark in front of customers, not on how many charts you get. And read the small print above Plus and Ultimate before you upgrade: both add order-volume charges that the App Store listing never quantifies, while Premium says in writing that it has none.

Kixie is genuinely best for outbound sales teams living in their CRM that want a serious power dialer with local presence, SMS and automation. Skip it if low call volumes (per-seat + minutes math won't pay back), or you want monthly flexibility without contract fine print.

(2026-08-18, read on their own pricing page) No seat price is published. Three plans are listed — Professional, Single-Line PowerDialer and Multi-Line PowerDialer — with a quarterly/yearly toggle but no amount rendered anywhere on the page. The core phone system is identical on all three; what separates them is dialling. There is no PowerDialer on Professional, one line on Single-Line, and up to four simultaneous lines on Multi-Line — also the only tier offering AI human voice detection, as a premium add-on. ConnectionBoost, Conversation Intelligence and DNC compliance are add-ons at every tier. The plan cards claim unlimited US/Canada minutes while the FAQ prices unlimited US and Canada minutes at $30 a month per user, so which of the two applies belongs in writing in your quote. First US/Canada number free, extra local numbers $5.00 a month, porting in free. Texts from $0.011 each on a registered 10DLC number, inbound free. 7-day trial, no credit card. Always verify the live price.

Plan for 30-60% above the sticker: minutes, the multi-line dialer and AI human-voice-detection all bill separately, and the quarterly auto-renewing contract only allows downgrades in its final 30 days — read that clause before signing. The dialer itself is genuinely fast and CRM-native; just buy it with the full basket priced and the calendar reminder set (our Renewal Radar exists for exactly this).

Koongo is genuinely best for Shopify merchants selling across several European marketplaces — Bol, Zalando, Allegro, Cdiscount, Miinto and the rest — who need inventory and order sync to run automatically, and who have priced their own item, feed and order counts against the surcharge table rather than the headline. Skip it if you sell on one channel or need product feeds only, where the feed-manager-only form from $14.50 or a dedicated feed app is cheaper; or your catalogue and order volume sit far enough above the included limits that the surcharges, not the plan, become the price.

(read 2026-08-23 on apps.shopify.com/koongo, listed as “Koongo: Sell on Marketplaces”, and on koongo.com/pricing) Four tiers on the listing, separated by update frequency rather than by capability. Free covers one store language, 100 items or SKUs, 5 product feeds, one marketplace wizard and up to 10 orders a month, updating once a day. Lite is $39 a month and updates every 6 hours, Starter is $79 and updates every 30 minutes, and Pro is $119 and updates every 15 minutes. All three include 1,000 items, 5 feeds, two marketplace wizards with the second free on a summer promotion, and 100 orders a month. All three also carry a 7-day free trial. Every paid tier states surcharges for extras used — items, feeds, marketplaces and orders — and each is also sold in a feed-manager-only form, from $14.50 for Lite, $29 for Starter and $41 for Pro. All charges on the listing are billed in USD and recur every 30 days. The vendor's own pricing page sells the same four plans in euros at €0, €35, €69 and €99 a month, and states that all prices exclude VAT. Each plan is broken into Core, Marketplace Manager, Feed Manager and Ads Manager modules with separate prices. There is also a surcharge table for extra stores, items, orders, marketplaces, feeds and team seats, where an extra 100 orders runs from €10.00 down to €2.00 as volume grows. Developer Koongo, a product of NoStress Commerce s.r.o., Prague; the app launched on 5 November 2014 and had 98 reviews at a 4.4 average at the time of writing. Always verify the live price.

The headline price is a base, not a bill. Each paid plan includes 1,000 items, 5 feeds, two marketplace wizards and 100 orders a month, and the listing says plainly that surcharges apply for extras used across all four of those dimensions. For a store with a real catalogue selling on several European marketplaces, every one of those limits is one you pass in week one. Price your own numbers on koongo.com's surcharge table before you take $39 seriously. The two pricing pages also do not quote the same bill. The App Store lists $39, $79 and $119 and bills in USD. koongo.com lists €35, €69 and €99 and states that all prices exclude VAT. Depending on where you trade and how you are registered, those are meaningfully different amounts for the same plan, and nothing on either page reconciles them. Then the record, which is the most useful thing on this listing. 4.4 from 98 reviews is the lowest average in this category among the apps Shopify shows beside it, and the breakdown explains why: 84 five-star ratings sit alongside six one-star ones. The critical reviews are specific rather than vague, which makes them worth reading in full. In July 2026 a Belgian merchant described a repricer set to Monitoring Mode that still blocked updates to live Bol offers because of MinimumPrice errors, so a delivery-promise change never reached the marketplace. In January 2026 a UK merchant described unresolved integration errors on OnBuy and a refused refund, with Koongo replying publicly that they had reached out several times without response. Neither is disqualifying on its own. Together they describe an app whose complexity is real and whose marketplace integrations sometimes need support to untangle — which is consistent with the vendor's own listing offering personal onboarding for complex setups. One more line to read before you install: the listing states the app views sensitive customer data as well as device and activity data, and can view and edit products, orders and custom data. Marketplace order sync needs customer details to work, so that is expected, but it makes this a processor of personal data on your behalf rather than a feed formatter.

KrispCall is genuinely best for sales and support teams that need virtual numbers across many countries with a shared dashboard, dialer and CRM hooks at a budget seat price. Skip it if your calling is domestic-only at low volume (simpler tools suffice), or you need enterprise reliability guarantees over price.

(re-verified 2026-08-17 against the vendor's own pricing page) Essential $12 per user/mo billed annually or $15 monthly, for solo agents and teams up to 5 people; Standard $32 per user/mo annually or $40 monthly, for teams scaling up to 50 users; Enterprise custom. Annual saves 20%, which the page puts at $36 per user a year on Essential and $96 on Standard, and each plan comes with $1 of free calling and SMS credit. Calls and SMS are otherwise pay-as-you-go from a separate credit balance, and numbers carry their own one-off and monthly charges (from $4.50 one-off and $1.50 a month at the time of reading). Always verify the live price.

Same honest math as most budget VoIP: the plan buys the platform, the meter buys the conversations — per-minute and per-SMS charges land on top of every seat, so the comparison that matters is call-rate-per-country at your volume. The 100+ country number coverage is genuinely the draw; verify number availability and local regulations for your specific target countries before committing.

Landingi is genuinely best for budget-conscious teams, international businesses and anyone needing bulk or programmatic page generation across 29 languages. Skip it if you need AI traffic routing, real-time collaboration or deep technical control — that's where Unbounce earns its higher price.

(re-verified 2026-08-17; the English page quotes USD while the same page served from a Dutch address quotes euros at the same numerals, so check your own currency) Four plans, billed annually: Build $24/month, Optimize $119/month, Scale from $229/month and Enterprise from $1,199/month. Annual billing includes two months free against monthly. Custom domains are metered: 1 on Build, 3 on Optimize, 10 on Scale and 100 on Enterprise, with extras at $5 a month each. AI credits come with the plan (2,500, 10,000, 20,000 and 60,000 a month) and top-ups are pay-as-you-go at $15 for 5,000, $25 for 10,000 and $40 for 20,000. A promotional rate roughly half the Build price appears periodically — it is a limited-time offer rather than the standard rate. Always verify the live price.

You trade away the high-end optimisation: no AI traffic routing like Unbounce's Smart Traffic, no real-time collaboration, and thinner technical control (script containers). Excellent value, but not the conversion-optimisation powerhouse.

LangShop is genuinely best for Shopify merchants selling into several language markets who want machine translation they can correct by hand — glossary rules, brand terms, bulk editing — plus a geolocated language and currency switcher, and whose catalogue and language count fit inside a published tier. Skip it if you sell in one language; or you need more than five languages or more than 5,000 products and are not willing to negotiate a plan that is not published; or your translations must land in metafields without checking, which is precisely what the recent one-star reviews say is unreliable.

(read 2026-09-10 on apps.shopify.com/langshop) Four published tiers, billed in USD every 30 days. Free costs nothing and covers one language and 50 products, with limited manual and AI translation, the standard language and currency switcher and multilingual SEO. Basic is $10 a month or $100 a year, and raises that to 250 products with five glossary rules, unlimited editing of translations, bulk editing and removal of LangShop branding. Standard is $40 a month or $400 a year: three languages, 2,000 products, 100 glossary rules, automatic sync of 50 new items, and the point at which the named engines (OpenAI, DeepL Pro, Google Cloud Translation), the advanced switcher and translation of dynamic content and third-party apps become available. Advanced is $75 a month or $750 a year: five languages, 5,000 products, 250 glossary rules, sync of 125 new items, ten content-exclusion rules and Shopify Flow support. The annual price saves 17% on every paid tier and each carries a 14-day free trial. The plan table ends with a link to 'more pricing plans', so the top of the ladder is not on the listing; ask before you assume Advanced is the ceiling. Always verify the live price.

Two things sit awkwardly next to each other in the plan table. The headline promise is 'unlimited words', but every tier caps how many products you may translate and how many languages you may run, so the meter you actually pay is catalogue size. And the named engines that the listing leads with — OpenAI, DeepL Pro, Google Cloud Translation — are a Standard-tier feature at $40 a month; below that you get limited manual and AI translation. The app is old enough to judge (launched 15 September 2016, developer Aheadworks) and most of its 480 reviews are positive, but 23 of them are one-star, and the recent negative ones are specific rather than vague: a Slovak store reporting that metafield translations ignore both the AI store context and the glossary rules, and a Swedish store of almost three years reporting that products duplicated from another product carry the wrong translation across. If metafields or duplicated products are central to your catalogue, test exactly that during the 14-day trial.

Later is genuinely best for creators and visual-first brands (Instagram/TikTok-centric) that want drag-and-drop visual planning, link-in-bio and scheduling in one. Skip it if you need deep multi-network publishing, listening and team workflows at agency scale (suite-class tools fit), or the post caps chafe immediately.

(re-verified 2026-08-17) Starter $18.75/month, Growth $37.50 and Scale $82.50, all billed yearly, which Later advertises as three months free and 25% off against monthly. Every plan opens with a 14-day trial, and on the page as we read it on 31 August 2026 that trial is the only no-cost route offered: three paid tiers, nothing beneath them, and an FAQ that discusses users per plan rather than any zero-price option. Our earlier note here also described a permanently free option, which we could not source; Later has historically run a no-cost link-in-bio product that may still sit behind the signup flow, but the pricing page does not sell it. The add-ons are where a growing team pays more: extra Social Sets are $11.25 a month each, extra users $3.75 a month each, and extra AI credits $3.75 a month per 100 credits. Starter covers casual scheduling; Growth adds the inbox, approvals and longer analytics; Scale is aimed at enterprise-level analytics without an enterprise contract. Always verify the live price.

The Starter caps are where the price really lives: 30 posts per profile and 3 months of analytics run out fast for an active brand, pushing real users toward Growth — so compare at the tier you'll actually need, not the entry price. Later's visual-first planning (born from Instagram) is still its strength; if your world is link-in-bio commerce and grids, that focus earns its seat.

Leadfeeder is genuinely best for B2B teams with real website traffic and a sales team that will actually work the list — the free tier is enough to find out whether your traffic contains anyone worth calling. Skip it if your traffic is mostly consumer or very low volume, because company identification needs business networks to match against and thin traffic produces a thin list.

(read 2026-08-26 on leadfeeder.com/pricing over a US connection) Lite is free forever with a 14-day full trial, seven days of visitor history and the last 100 companies a month. Discover starts at $79 a month, Activate at $369 and Scale at $599, all billed annually, which the page marks as 30% off. Worth knowing: the page carries both currencies with the same figures — $79 for an American is €79 for a European, not a converted amount — so the euro price is the more expensive of the two. Always verify the live price.

The words doing the work are 'starting at'. What actually sets your price is how many companies you identify a month, and the page shows that allowance as 'Tiered' with no figures at any level. So €79 is the floor of the smallest bucket, and you cannot tell from the page which bucket your traffic puts you in. Get that table before you talk price. Two other things: month-to-month costs 43% more than annual on the same plan (€113 against €79), and Scale is annual-only, so the tier most growing teams land on cannot be tried for a month.

Leadpages is genuinely best for small businesses building landing pages and simple funnels who want unmetered traffic — no per-visitor anxiety, unlike metered rivals. Skip it if you need deep A/B experimentation or enterprise features — the Conversion tier jumps to $299/mo fast.

(re-verified 2026-08-17 against Leadpages' own machine-readable pricing file, which they last updated 2026-07-10; USD) Two lines, six paid plans, no free plan, and a 7-day free trial that requires a credit card and converts unless you cancel. Publishing plans: Starter $10/mo or $8 billed annually ($96 a year), 5 pages, 1 site, no third-party integrations; Pro $29/mo or $23 annually ($276), 25 pages, 1 blog, API access; Business $49/mo or $39 annually ($468), 50 pages, 2 sites. Optimization plans add testing and personalisation: Grow $99/mo or $79 annually ($948), unlimited pages, 4 sites, manual A/B testing; Optimize $199/mo or $159 annually ($1,908), 6 sites, multivariate testing and Smart Traffic; Scale $399/mo or $319 annually ($3,828), 10 sites, heatmaps, auto-personalisation and 10 seats. Annual billing is 20% off across the board. No plan has a traffic cap. Add-ons: $20 a month per extra seat or extra custom domain, $40 per extra client workspace on Scale, and AI credit top-ups from $2.50 for 2,000 credits down to $0.60 per thousand at the largest pack. Always verify the live price.

It's the value pick, not the optimisation pick — if you're spending big on ads, Unbounce's Smart Traffic and Instapage's 1:1 personalisation go deeper.

LearnWorlds is genuinely best for course creators and training businesses that want a branded school with interactive video, assessments, certificates and a built-in checkout. Skip it if you sell only occasional courses (a lighter or transaction-fee-only platform may cost less) or you just need to host a few videos behind a paywall.

(re-verified 2026-09-05 on their own pricing page, which now carries the browser title New Pricing 2026) Starter $29/mo (or $24 annually) but with a $5 fee per paid enrollment — still the single most important number in this ladder; Pro Trainer $99/mo, or $79 billed annually, with no enrollment fee; Learning Center $299/mo, or $249 annually; Corporate quoted. The High Volume tier we recorded in August is gone: the ladder is now Starter, Pro Trainer, Learning Center and Corporate. Annual billing saves 20% and the trial is 30 days. Limits published alongside: 1,000 / 2,000 / 2,000 monthly active learners, 1 / 5 / 25 admins, 300 / 500 / 1,000 AI credits a month, email support 24/5 on Starter against 24/7 above it, and a 99.90% uptime commitment (99.95% on Corporate). All prices exclude VAT, which is added for EU customers unless a valid EU VAT number is given, and your payment gateway (Stripe at about 2.9% + $0.30) charges on top regardless of tier. A branded mobile app is still a separate add-on, but the page now lists it as having multiple price options and prints no amount, so the roughly $149/mo we carried in August is no longer confirmable. Two reading notes: the page opens by asking which of four goals brings you there and recommends a plan on that basis — the figures above were read with the branded-academy goal selected — and the plan cards print their numbers with no currency symbol at all, the only dollar signs on the page sitting on the $5 enrollment fee and the Stripe example. Always verify the live price.

The detail most people miss is Starter's $5-per-paid-enrollment fee — at any real sales volume it quietly makes Starter more expensive than the flat Pro Trainer plan, so the "cheap" tier often isn't. Starter also runs on a single admin seat and 24/5 email support against 24/7 above it, and the branded mobile app is a separate add-on whose price the pricing page no longer states. Price it against your expected enrollment volume, not the sticker.

Leavo is genuinely best for teams that want straightforward time-tracking, attendance and overtime banking with transparent per-user pricing. Skip it if you need a permanent free plan (this is a 30-day trial), or you're a tiny team where a shared spreadsheet already covers hours.

(price re-verified 2026-08-17 against leavo.com) (2026) 30-day free trial with unlimited members (a trial, not a permanent free plan). Professional $2.49/user/mo billed yearly (about $448/yr for 15 users) adds unlimited features and overtime banking; Premium $4.15/user/mo yearly (about $747/yr for 15). Priced per user, annual billing. Always verify the live price.

The tidy per-user numbers are annual-billed, and it's priced per seat — every employee you track adds to the bill, with no volume break shown. And the “free” is a 30-day trial, not a permanent free tier: budget for the paid plan from day 31.

lemlist is genuinely best for outbound teams that live in cold email and want multichannel sequences, warm-up and a big template community in one per-seat tool. Skip it if you send occasional one-off campaigns — the entry plan starts at 69€/month and only pays off with steady outbound volume.

(re-verified 2026-08-17; the page served us DOLLARS today where our previous reading was in euros, with the same numerals — check your own checkout) No free plan, 14-day trial. Email is $69/month, or $55/month on yearly billing, covering unlimited users and 50,000 emails a month. Multichannel is $109/month per user, or $87/month yearly, with unlimited emails and messages and 5 senders per user. Quarterly billing saves 10% and yearly 20%. Enterprise (5+ users) is quote-only. Contact data is billed separately through rechargeable credits where 1 credit = $0.01: a 1,000-credit pack is $10 and buys roughly 200 email lookups or 50 phone numbers, with a phone number costing 20 credits. Always verify the live price.

The per-seat plus per-email-account model makes total cost unpredictable as you scale, and reviews flag support response times and the LinkedIn Chrome-extension's reliability.

LettrLabs is genuinely best for local businesses and e-commerce brands using robotically handwritten mail (~$0.49/piece incl. postage) to stand out where email gets ignored. Skip it if your audience or offer doesn't justify ~$0.49 per contact — direct mail only pays at decent response rates and order values.

(price re-verified 2026-08-31 against the vendor's own pricing page) (2026) Postage is included in every per-piece rate. Three published tiers: Starter is free and pay-as-you-go; Premium is $399/month billed annually or $449 month-to-month; Enterprise is custom-priced. On Starter, postcards are $0.76 (4x6), $0.79 (6x9), $0.85 (6x11) and $1.15 (11x18 tri-fold), and handwritten pieces are $1.56 (handwritten envelope with printed letter), $1.66 (handwritten postcard), $2.86 (card and envelope) and $3.11 (bi-fold card and envelope). Premium's card shows $0.54-$0.88 for postcards and $0.85-$1.71 for handwritten, Enterprise's $0.56-$0.88 and $0.81-$1.52 — but both are labelled 'as low as with spend commitment', so those floors need volume as well as the subscription. Handwritten insert media (a card with no envelope, shipped inside a package rather than mailed) is listed from $0.49 and is not offered on Starter. New accounts get $30 in free credit. Always verify the live price.

Direct mail only pays off with a tight list and a real offer — it's a leverage channel, not a cheap thing to test blindly.

Lindy.ai is genuinely best for teams that live in Slack and want one shared teammate that sits in their meetings, runs scheduled routines and drafts replies inside the tools they already use. Skip it if you want flat, predictable automation costs across a large team — Lindy charges for every seat that touches it and the credits expire each cycle, so you pay for people whether or not they used their allowance.

(re-verified 2026-09-04, read on their own pricing page; the 12 August figures were unchanged) Now sold per user, and the credit allowance is published again. Plus is $29.99/mo per user (3k credits per user per month), Pro $99.99/mo per user (15k credits, 5x Plus) and Max $199.99/mo per user (35k credits, ~12x Plus). Enterprise is quote-only. Every seat's credits pool into one workspace balance, refresh each billing cycle and do not roll over; the page sizes work as 2-250 credits for an everyday ask, 250-1,000 for deep work and 1,000-2,500 for a big build. Anyone who uses Lindy takes a paid seat, including colleagues who only @mention it in Slack — those who join that way get a 7-day free trial first, direct signups are billed straight away. All four tiers connect up to 5 inboxes, and computer use, model selection and MCP support are no longer tier-gated. Always verify the live price.

Cost tracks headcount rather than output: every colleague who so much as @mentions Lindy in Slack takes a paid seat, and a seat you remove runs to the end of the cycle with no mid-cycle proration. Credits are published now, but as ranges: an everyday ask is 2-250, a big build 1,000-2,500. So a month is still an estimate. And when the shared pool runs dry there is no top-up — Lindy pauses credit-using actions until the reset, unless an admin moves the workspace to a bigger plan.

Livestorm is genuinely best for teams running a predictable programme of webinars to a known audience size, where buying a year of attendance up front is cheaper than a per-seat platform. Skip it if your webinar schedule is irregular or experimental, because paying a year ahead for attendance you cannot forecast is the wrong shape; a per-month platform is safer while you find out what works.

(re-verified 2026-09-05 on their own pricing page) There is still no plan price. Pro is sold as attendee credits, bought as a yearly pack up front, with sessions up to 4 hours and unlimited team members; Enterprise is quote-only with sessions up to 12 hours. The rate depends on the currency you pick on the page, and the two are not conversions of each other: €2.50 per attendee in euros, $3.00 in dollars. Their own definition, worth reading twice because it decides your bill: one credit is spent for each unique participant, per session, over a 12-month period. Someone attending two different sessions costs 2 credits; the same person joining live and later watching the replay of that session counts once. Registrants who never show up cost nothing, and your own team members never consume credits. New since August: the FAQ now says what happens when the pack runs out — you get alerts as you approach the limit, and once you reach it new attendees cannot join a session until you move to a higher yearly tier. What still is not answered anywhere on the page is what becomes of credits you have not used at the twelve-month mark. Always verify the live price.

This is a bet on attendance that you place a year in advance. You buy credits up front — €2.50 each in euros, $3.00 in dollars, set separately rather than converted — and a credit is spent per unique participant per session, so a four-part series to the same 200 people is 800 credits, not 200, which is €2,000. A webinar that does better than expected runs you out, and the page is now clear about what that means: new attendees cannot join until you buy a higher tier. The page publishes the per-attendee rate but never a total. Before you commit, count sessions times expected attendees for the whole year, and ask what happens to unused credits at the twelve-month mark, because the page does not say.

Lucrovox is genuinely best for local service businesses — HVAC, plumbing, roofing, med spas — losing revenue to missed calls who want a 24/7 AI receptionist that books jobs straight into Google Calendar, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan or Jobber. Skip it if your call volume is tiny (100 Starter calls is the whole point) or your callers expect a human — ring their live demo line first and judge the voice yourself.

(re-verified 2026-08-24 on lucrovox.com/#pricing and lucrovox.com/lucrochat, both read in a real browser with the pages fully loaded) The phone agent has three published tiers and the plan table is back on the page: Starter $199 a month for up to 100 AI-handled calls, Pro $499 for up to 500 calls with CRM integration and advanced lead qualification, Enterprise $999 for up to 2,000 calls with white-label branding and multi-location support. Higher volume is quote-only. Starter and Pro carry a 14-day trial, Enterprise 30 days. On our previous reading, 17 August, the pricing page opened with a missed-call ROI calculator and the tier list could not be retrieved at all; it is worth knowing that the plan table on this site comes and goes, and that the calculator's outputs ($500 average job value producing $750 a week and $39,000 a year of lost revenue) are illustrations rather than prices. LucroChat, the website chat product from the same vendor, sits on lucrovox.com/lucrochat with its own table metered on monthly conversations rather than calls: Starter $29 for up to 1,000 conversations on one website, Growth $59 for up to 3,000 conversations on up to three websites, Professional $199 for up to 10,000 conversations on unlimited websites, each with a 14-day trial and no card required. Its own FAQ agrees, describing pricing as starting at $29 a month for 1,000 conversations. One number on that page does not agree with the rest: the ROI calculator above the table reports its result “Based on Growth plan ($99/mo)” while the table prices Growth at $59. Read the plan table, not the calculator. Two products, two meters, one domain — price them separately. Always verify the live price.

The meter is AI-handled calls: Starter’s 100 calls a month is roughly three a day, so a genuinely busy shop outgrows it quickly — and the steps are steep ($199 → $499 → $999). The ‘callers can’t tell it’s AI’ claim is the vendor’s own: they offer a live demo number, so test that before you commit. One more thing to read carefully on the sibling product's page. LucroChat's ROI calculator reports its return “Based on Growth plan ($99/mo)”, while the plan table on the same page prices Growth at $59 a month (both read 24 August 2026). The $99 is the higher of the two, so nobody is being lured with a low number, but a page that quotes two different prices for one plan is a page whose figures you check at checkout rather than take on trust.
