What is Thrivecart?
Thrive Cart is, it’s a powerful e-commerce platform designed to help you sell digital products, including online courses, memberships, and digital downloads. Thrive Cart provides a range of features such as customizable checkout pages, one-click upsells, affiliate tracking, and integrations with popular marketing tools. It’s a comprehensive solution for anyone looking to monetize their expertise and grow their online business.
I decided to switch from Kajabi to Thrivecart
I branded my business as a Kajabi course expert because I loved working inside of Kajabi. From the easy drag-and-drop website editor, building pipelines, writing emails, creating evergreen webinar events, crafting upsells, and order bumps. It is a truly all-in-one, but with a monthly price tag. You’re paying $100.00+ a month based on how many products you have created. If you have more than one course, you have to pay extra and that made me uncomfortable because the whole point of having an online business is to create digital products.
In the 6 months, I was with Kajabi selling my own courses, I was paying an upwards of $150+ per month. An expense that didn’t make sense for the long-term. So, I came across Thrivecart from having worked with a client who used it for her courses and fell in love with it!
Thrivecart is seriously a game-changer! You won’t believe how much money I’ve saved since making the switch. Plus, it’s super easy to use and has all the bells and whistles I need to create an unlimited number of courses.
Thrivecart Pros:
- Affordable pricing – one-time payment, a life-time license
- Easy to use interface, making it beginner-friendly. Think drag-and-drop editor features.
- Versatile features for creating and selling courses, memberships, and digital products.
- Integration with various payment gateways, allowing for seamless transactions.
- Customizable checkout pages to match your brand.
- Built-in affiliate tracking system to help you boost sales.
- No transaction fees, so you keep more of your earnings.
Thrivecart Cons:
- Limited customization options for checkout pages compared to Kajabi
- Occasional glitches or bugs reported by users, though these are typically resolved quickly.
- Learning curve for more advanced features may be steeper for some people.
- Not as many built-in integrations with third-party tools compared to other platforms.
- Some users may find the interface to be less intuitive than other platforms.
- Less established in the market compared to more well-known competitors.
How to Sign-up for Thrivecart
If you’ve already signed up for the ThriveCart lifetime deal, then building a course on Thrivecart Learn isn’t going to cost you any additional money. New members pay a one-time fee of $495. The basic plan is suitable for most people, but if you launch multiple courses, add team members, or enroll larger numbers of students, you might want some of the additional features that come with Thrivecart Pro, which costs an additional $195.
