PayKickstart has a lot of options, features, and a general feel-good factor after using it, it’s easy to use, hassle free, and worry free.

While all of the platforms can essentially perform the same functions, it comes down to the smaller things; features and the like to really sell a product or service.

PayKickstart outperforms the rest in terms of pricing as well, because while ThriveCart may be its largest competitor, options for pricing are pretty steep with a one time large purchase, rather than the option to pay it monthly.
SamCart has more options with Pro, but Pro comes with a larger pricing structure.

Only PayKickstart offers Pro features, at a standard price.

Disclaimer: We selected Paykickstart for our personal business and have used it since before it was officially launched. We have thus had the opportunity to watch it grow and blossom into the platform we hoped it would become and early indicators show it can only improve with the continued support and investment the creators and developers put into it.
