By far one of the most common questions I received on my channel and on my blog is John what do you think about Thrive Cart versus cart flows you guys know that I talk about both, you know that I am an affiliate for both and I do enjoy both companies, but if I had to choose between one because let's be honest we all do which one would it be and in this video?
I'm gonna give you my exact thoughts unaltered unbiased just my personal experience and what I can offer you.
So first and foremost who am I and should you really trust what I have to say well my wife and I have been selling online for around five years now and we've done well over a million dollars in online course sales ebook sales other information products and in that time we have used countless softwares and systems to make that happen we've used teachable thrive cart cart flows cartra anything with a cart in it we've used it to find which one works best for us and also because it's kind of my little obsession right to see all this little platforms and see how they work and break them apart and put them back together so I know what I'm talking about here, we've used these platforms each one of these extensively over a year for each one of these platforms in and of itself and while I am an affiliate I'm gonna affiliate for both and because I'm gonna give you my actual experience my personal experience and there's a full blog post that I can put up here as well in the description below where I go into bit more detail about my personal experience.
So let's go ahead and talk about the feature set first between these two platforms so because thrive cart and cart flows are very different in nature drive cart is a software as a service you can to log into that one platform it's not on your website it has no performance impact on your own website, it is designed to give you all the features you need there in that interface cart flows on the other hand it lives inside of your website itself it's actually just code it's a plug-in that you purchase you install a little file into your dashboard and now you'll have another new little button on your side menu bar that allows you access all the cartilage functionality.
These are two vastly different setups the software as a service there's a lot of piece of mind there because there's nothing that can kind of you know break there it's one platform they're maintained with the platform for all their customers, there's no fear of compatibility issues with your website or there's no fear of plug-in conflicts and things happening and there's no fear if One plug and updates is it going to break your ability to sell your product?
So that's on the good side the bad side of that is there's no customization really beyond what they give you. You can make feature requests and maybe create some sort of integration with Thrive Cart.
But in general what you get is what you get and you'll have to decide if the feature set of Thrive Cart works for you out of the box or not Now cartilage on the other hand being a plug-in it's like the exact reversal of the Thrive Cart situation. So with cart flows customization is pretty much unlimited which sounds like a really good thing right but there's kind of a cautionary tale in that.

Hey John, thanks for the great video!
I have a versus question for you... What do you think of Thrive Cart vs CartFlows vs WPFunnels ???
WPFunnels looks like it gives CartFlows run for their money.
But would you say it's still best to have your payment system or software off/away from WordPress?
Thanks!!
Hi John, great video! My question is: Do you have to buy a new license ($690 w pro) for each product or does the one time purchase of Thrivecart cover many websites (items). I saw that if I sign up with your link there are a ton of training videos you offer free, which looks great! I'm just trying to understand if I'll have to buy it each time I introduce a new product with a new website. Thanks for your help! Mike
Nope - One license gives you unlimited products, subscriptions, affiliates, etc. You can also add additional stripe accounts and paypal accounts on a product by product basis :)
Thanks John for all your videos on ThriveCart and therefore I use your affiliate link for a job well done.
Thanks, John. Just found your video and channel and subscribed because of this video. REALLY good info here! I've been researching ThriveCart vs CartFlows for the last few days. I run a few sites all based upon Elementor, but have no need for WC yet. That said, I have two concerns about ThriveCart: (1) can I make the look and feel work with my site and (2) pageload - this video (ua-cam.com/video/0dAVTCUPvqY/v-deo.html) said it can take ThriveCart ~5 seconds to load. Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!
Awesome questions! As for #1 - if you want your checkout page to look EXACTLY like Elementor... you'll want to use Elementor. Similarly - I can pick out a page built in Divi vs Elementor vs Thrive vs Brizy simply by looking at them (yeah, I'm a huge geek). But you have drag and drop capabilities with Thrivecart so your colors, general layout, and features can all fit your brand no problem.
And as for Page Load... I can personally say that WooCommerce + Cartflows were my slowest loading pages ... ever. Even with expensive hosting, the fully loaded page load speeds with Thrivecart were much faster. Granted, there are some background processes that run, but the user can interact with Thrivecart pages plenty fast.
WooCommerce isn't known for being a spring chicken when it comes to page speed ;)
Much appreciated info. Sounds like cart flows could evolve into a powerful agency tool by internalizing some of the ‘outside layers’ and making the cost benefit ratio better. The ‘everything in Wordpress’ concept is for sure really catchy though- I really was hoping you’d go with that option. But hey, time is money and you’ve saved me a ton of time with your recommendation for newbies and one man operations to stick with ThriveCart so my sincerest gratitude for that. Personally i’m Planning on using member mouse integration with thrive cart with thrive architect + active campaign for crm. My hypothesis is that they will all integrate together in a cost effective and dependable way. I’m a music producer and this tech stuff is so fun to my nerd brain lol- but I def need simplicity over additional tech stack elements so yea, thanks again- will def check out more of your stuff and purchase thrive cart with your affiliate link!! Cheers- Will
You rock Will! I don't make the recommendation lightly... I literally wrestled with Cartflows for the better part of 2019... I look forward to its evolution. Just curious, why MemberMouse? It is definitely a premium option, but I'm not a fan of its pricing. The more members you have, the more you pay - which doesn't really make sense for a plugin (no additional cost for them to support). Have you looked at Wishlist Member of MemberPress? I'd prefer either of those personally
Moving along . . . I'd like to see you do a comparison between ThriveCart and SendOwl for course creators and membership site owners.
Good suggestion, it is on the list!
so much for Adam from cartflows charging close to $1000 for a lifetime deal for an incomplete tool.
A tool that needs a bunch of other integrations like subscriptions ($200/year) to compete with Thrivecart.
Thank you for your review. Interesting comparison of these 2 products! I think you meant to recommend Thrivecart at the very end of your video (you said Cartflows) or did I get that wrong? Also in the description you call Cartfows "cartilage" 3x !
Oh my goodness did I!? You might not be able to tell by watching me, but I'm actually quite introverted and thinking on my feet can sometimes be challenging :) Especially when the product names are so similar! Yes... to set the record straight (if there was any confusion), I do find Thrivecart to be an overall winner in this comparison. I'll definitely chime in after some time has passed and reassess.
And I'm going to have to have a conversation with my transcription service :) I'll correct the description! (bonus points for you for reading it haha)
@@johncreates haha.....I've recorded myself several times before and quickly realized how absolutely horrendous I was (I swear I sounded Punch-Drunk). You're doing amazing work and serving us so well. So thank you for putting yourself out there!
hehe, punch drunk :) There are a million things I wish I could do better with my videos, better delivery, better hair (lol), better backdrop... but ultimately as long as I can provide valuable content, I like to think people look past the little things. I'm not sure what niche you are in, but please don't let fear about your recorded voice / look / whatever hold you back. Be of service and people will see and respond!
Does thrive cart integrates with klaviyo?
Hm I’m not sure about a direct integration but it should be doable with Zapier... not my preferred method though :)
Yeah I don't like that either. Zapier adds up extra costs
so at the last minute of the video you say Cartflows is the way to go.. but I think you meant thrivecart???
Lol... whoopsies yes you're correct... Saying "Cart" a thousand times in the video - gets me a little tripped up :)
You said cartflows at the end
Can I use Thrive Cart on different websites or am I restricted to one?
As many as you want! It’s a hosted solution so you can only have a single domain “checkout.yourname.com” for example but you can embed the form anywhere you want!
