#209 - Thrivecart VS Samcart


Listen Later

In today's episode, we're diving into a showdown between two checkout platforms: Thrivecart and Samcart. With experience using both extensively, I've broken down their comparison into key categories to help you make an informed decision.

Pricing:

  • Samcart offers multiple price options, with the $149/month tier being the most common.
  • Thrivecart, on the other hand, requires a one-time payment of around $500 for lifetime access, so it’s  the more cost-effective option.
  • Stability:

    • Thrivecart has a history of stability issues, prompting my switch to Samcart, which guarantees a 99.9% uptime.

    Support:

    • Samcart shines in support, offering better communication and even a paid option for priority support.

    Courseware:

    • While both platforms offer courseware, Thrivecart emerges as the easier-to-use and aesthetically pleasing option.

    Design:

    • Thrivecart's checkout designs are visually appealing but come with stability concerns.

    Order Bump Design:

    • Thrivecart offers a more user-friendly experience for creating order bumps, though limited to one per transaction.
  • Samcart allows for multiple order bumps, albeit with more manual adjustments required.
  • Affiliates:

    • Thrivecart's all-inclusive pricing surpasses Samcart's tiered structure, particularly in affiliate management.

    Upsell Tracks:

    • Samcart's unique feature of creating different upsell tracks based on purchase price puts it ahead of Thrivecart.

    Reporting:

    • While Thrivecart offers clearer funnel breakdowns, Samcart provides a more comprehensive overview of individual product sales.

    Final Decision:

    After careful evaluation, Samcart emerges as the preferred choice due to its stability and support. However, the right choice between the two depends on individual business needs and preferences.

    Tune in to understand the nuances of each platform and make the best decision aligned with your business goals.
