A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

Let’s clear
things up.

Why choose Cartivate as a Kaching alternative?

Choose Cartivate if you want to build a cart by describing it to your AI assistant, create interactive peel or puzzle offers, and preview your store’s cart before installing.

Do both apps offer cart upsells and rewards?

Yes. Both App Store listings describe recommendations, rewards and optional extras. Their setup methods and offer formats differ.

Is Cartivate always the cheaper option?

No. Cartivate includes the first 50 Cartivate orders each month, then usage charges apply. Kaching has order-based paid plans and a free development-store plan. Compare the current App Store pricing for your order volume.

Can I preview Cartivate before switching?

Yes. Enter your store on the Cartivate homepage to preview a cart built for it before installation.

Do I need to publish AI changes immediately?

No. Review AI changes as drafts and apply them in Cartivate when you are ready.
