Chirply vs Ontraport: give your automation a phone channel.

1. Where automation ends

Ontraport's campaign maps are deep and battle-tested across email, SMS, pages, and payments. Chirply's automations reach one channel further: they can place calls, drop ringless voicemail, and hand conversations to AI phone agents, because the phone system lives in the same platform.

2. How pricing scales

Chirply is flat: $47, $77, or $97 per month with unlimited contacts. Ontraport starts at $83 per month and rises with your contact count, adds $49 per month for each extra user, and prices SMS, its Inbox helpdesk, and its Dynamic CMS separately. The quote depends on your list; Chirply's does not.

3. Members and communities

Both platforms gate content behind logins. Ontraport's membership sites and customer portals are mature and deeply tied to its CMS and page builder. Chirply's member areas are Skool-class communities with courses, quizzes, certificates, points, and leaderboards, aimed squarely at coaches and course sellers.

4. Referrals versus reselling

Ontraport's partner programs track referrals and pay commissions, which suits an affiliate motion. Chirply's agency model goes further: client sub-accounts, white-label on your own domain, and selling your own plans on your own Stripe. Ontraport is also the far more established platform, with a bigger expert ecosystem than a young product like Chirply.

Map your customer journey

List the triggers, fields, reports, integrations and permissions your team relies on. Use that list to set up your first complete customer journey in Chirply.

Run a small pilot

Use sample records and an internal test audience. Recreate one complete workflow from lead capture through follow-up and payment, checking permissions and reporting at each step.

Budget the complete move

Compare the selected plan, optional apps, provider usage, implementation time and any subscriptions you will retain. Confirm export formats and retention requirements before scheduling a cutover.

Check the commercial terms

Everyone starts with the full platform free for 14 days on Scale. Scale is the only plan with a free trial. A card is required, and you pay nothing today. After your trial, stay on Scale at $97/month or downgrade to any other retail plan. Choose a lower plan in Billing before the trial ends to start there when billing begins, or cancel before then and pay nothing. Connected-provider usage is separate.

Reseller Partner is $297 a month and White-Label Partner is $497 a month. Each one is a complete subscription that includes a Scale-level account, so it replaces a retail plan rather than sitting on top of one. Lower founding rates exist, but only inside a timed window offered shortly after signup — the price on your own Billing screen is the one that applies to you.
