Kartra
Kartra is an all-in-one platform tailored for entrepreneurs, course creators, and coaches who want to build, market, and sell online without the tech overwhelm.
GoHighLevel

This platform’s structure and feature implementation is geared towards managing multiple accounts simultaneously or white labeling, making it less suitable for small to medium businesses.
