SamCart vs. Thinkific
Thinkific is a great platform for creating courses, but only SamCart’s profit-boosting, conversion-driving features can move the needle on sales.
WHAT TO CONSIDER
The Big Problem With Most Course Delivery Platforms
While having all of your marketing needs inside one platform sounds simple, there’s one huge downside. It’s almost impossible for one piece of software to do everything well. And when it comes to building your course business, you deserve every advantage. Thinkific has a simple user interface, is easy to create courses without coding, and allows you to directly upload videos. But when it comes to helping you sell your courses, they fall a little short.
You can’t sell anything other than digital products
You have trouble upselling customers
You have to force your customers through a multi-step checkout process
You can’t easily use other email marketing platforms like Infusionsoft, ConvertKit, etc.
You can’t split users by paid and unpaid
You can’t use monthly payment options on the lower tier plans
You don’t know which pages are converting
On top of all that, it’s one of the most expensive pieces of software you pay for. But here’s the good news, SamCart solves all of those problems for you, at an affordable price…and lets you keep using Thinkific to deliver your courses if you choose to. At SamCart, we focus on just one thing: building features that help you get more customers.
Here’s Everything SamCart Lets You Do, That Thinkific Doesn’t.
