Is Strkr really a Keap alternative?
For revenue teams of 5 to 50 users on Keap Pro or Max who are feeling the user-cap bite, the contact-tier jump, or the interface age, yes. Strkr covers the CRM, marketing automation, pipeline, and SMS pieces of the Keap bundle, plus Projects (post-sale delivery) and Docs (quotes and proposals) that Keap does not try to cover. The honest exception: Strkr does not run a native e-commerce storefront, order forms, or affiliate payouts. If those three are load-bearing for your business, if you sell a product catalog through a Stripe-button checkout, if your primary growth channel is affiliate partners with trackable referral links and automated payouts, then Keap stays the better fit and we would rather you keep it than switch and regret it six months in. The buyers who move from Keap to Strkr are almost always revenue teams, not online storefronts.
What is Keap better at than Strkr?
Three things, said straight. First, native payments and invoicing in the box. If your motion is "sell a package through a landing-page checkout," Keap compresses the stack better than any per-seat alternative, Strkr included. Second, affiliate tracking and payouts. For partner-first growth, Keap has a module Strkr does not try to replace, and bolting on ShareASale or FirstPromoter adds a tool to the stack. Third, the two-person floor on pricing. A true solopreneur or two-person shop pays less on Keap Pro than on any per-seat alternative at the baseline user count. If any of those three is the shape of your business, Keap is probably the right answer, and the switch argument gets thinner the harder you push on it.
Can I migrate Keap data to Strkr?
Yes. Strkr ships a dependency-ordered CSV importer that handles the standard Keap exports: contacts, companies, deals, notes, tags, pipelines, and tasks. The importer surfaces unmapped fields and gives you a mapping sheet before anything writes, so nothing silently drops into a lossy transform. Keap tags become Strkr segments or status fields depending on how you were using them. If a tag was essentially a lifecycle stage, it maps to a field. If it was a cohort selector for marketing sends, it maps to a segment. Keap pipelines map cleanly to Strkr pipelines with stage probabilities and exit criteria added on top of the existing stage names. Campaign Builder sequences are reproducible as Strkr Marketing journeys, though we recommend reviewing the branching rather than mechanically porting it; journey logic that looks tangled in Keap often simplifies in Strkr once the filter AST is available. Most 5 to 15 person teams complete the switch inside a single week, with the second week spent reshaping pipeline stages and polishing the journeys.
How does Strkr pricing compare to Keap?
Keap Pro is roughly $199 per month and ships with 2 users; Keap Max is roughly $289 per month and ships with 3 users; both tiers add contact-tier surcharges past the baseline list size. Strkr publishes seat-based pricing with annual-billing discounts; see strkr.io/pricing for the current numbers. For a true two-person team, Keap Pro usually beats a per-seat alternative on sticker price. For a 5 to 10 person revenue team crossing contact tiers, the per-seat math tends to flip, especially once you factor in the project tool and the deeper reporting that Strkr includes natively.
Does Strkr include built-in payments and invoicing?
Not natively, which is the honest comparison. Strkr integrates with Stripe for subscription and transaction visibility, surfaces payment data on the contact record, and supports Stripe-based checkout flows. We do not run a native storefront, order forms, or affiliate payouts. For a service business selling contracts through a sales motion, that is fine. The Docs module handles quotes, proposals, and contracts, and Stripe handles the money, and the two surfaces talk to each other through the contact record. For a creator or consultant selling courses with a Stripe-button checkout on a landing page, Keap compresses that stack more aggressively and the trade may go the other way, which is why we tell storefront-first businesses to stay on Keap.
What about marketing automation? Does Strkr match the Keap Campaign Builder?
The Strkr Marketing module ships journeys with branching logic, lead scoring, forms, and landing pages on the same contact and account records as the CRM. Journey logic (email, wait, condition, email, wait, condition) ports from Keap Campaign Builder sequences. The visual builder is modern: a React Flow canvas with drag-and-drop blocks, dry-run mode, and atomic writes, rather than the longer-standing Keap canvas and its two decades of iteration. The depth of templates is comparable; the depth of the ex-Infusionsoft consultant ecosystem is where Keap still leads, if that is a factor for you. For a team that already runs a Keap-literate agency relationship, the switch cost there is real and worth pricing.
What size team is Strkr sized for?
Strkr sizes well from 5 to 500 revenue-team users. Below 5 users (true solopreneur, two-person consultancy with no growth plan, a side-hustle coaching practice) Keap Pro on the two-user baseline often beats us on sticker price and compresses the stack more aggressively around the "sell a package with built-in checkout" motion. Above 500 users, Strkr scales but you are into deals that look more like Salesforce or HubSpot Enterprise with implementation partners, procurement cycles, and SI relationships. The sweet spot is the 10 to 100 user revenue team that outgrew the SMB bundle, does not want to buy a Salesforce admin, needs modern formula-based reporting, and wants post-sale delivery on the same platform as the sales motion. That shape is where the per-seat math and the native module footprint both pay off, and it is the shape of most teams moving off Keap Max in our migration pipeline this year.
Does Strkr have an e-commerce storefront or order forms?
No. This is the single most important place to be honest in a Keap comparison. Keap ships native order forms, hosted checkout pages, affiliate payout tracking, and basic e-commerce. Strkr does not. We integrate with Stripe for payment visibility (subscriptions, failed charges, lifetime value surface on the contact), and we ship Docs for quotes, proposals, and signed contracts, but there is no "paste a product on a landing page and sell it" surface. If that is the core motion of your business, Keap stays the better fit and we would rather you keep it. If payment is downstream of a sales conversation (a contract, an order form, a Stripe link emailed after the call) Strkr covers it comfortably and the e-commerce absence is not a gap in your workflow, it is simply a feature you are not paying for anymore.
