ThriveCart monthly pricing is here – by popular demand.
ThriveCart now offers monthly pricing, giving creators, coaches, and online businesses the flexibility to try the platform, see results, and grow with confidence – without a lifetime commitment on day one.
Whether you’re just getting started or looking for a new, more powerful platform, our new pricing model gives you even more ways to start scaling on ThriveCart.

What’s changed and why
ThriveCart built its reputation over the past decade on a lifetime license model. It was bold, it was different, and it worked for a lot of people. But we kept hearing the same thing from the community: “I’d love to try ThriveCart before I fully commit.”
So we made it happen.
Starting now, ThriveCart is available on flexible monthly plans billed annually, with a 30-day trial so you can dig in, test it out, and see the results for yourself before spending a cent.
Here’s what’s new:
- Standard license – $37/month (billed annually) or $47/month (monthly billing), including a ThriveCart Academy ‘Starter’ plan
- Pro+ license – $67/month (billed annually) or $87/month (monthly billing), including a ThriveCart Academy ‘Growth’ plan
- 30-day free trial on all new plans
Why monthly pricing is a big deal for creators and entrepreneurs
The old model was great if you were already an established brand looking to increase conversions to maximize sales. But for anyone starting out, comparing tools, and testing workflows, a lifetime purchase can feel like a big leap.
Monthly pricing changes that. Here’s why it matters:
- You get time to explore. 30 days is enough to build a funnel, run your first campaign, and actually see how the platform performs for your business.
- You’re not locked in. We’re confident you’ll love ThriveCart, and if it isn’t the right fit, you haven’t made a lifetime decision to find that out.
- You can start lean. By paying monthly, you’ll have more money to put back into marketing your ideas on day one.
- You grow at your own pace. Start on Standard, upgrade to Pro+ when you’re ready – there’s no pressure.
- You get access to courses and communities. Your ThriveCart Standard license also includes the ThriveCart Academy Starter plan and Pro+ gives you access to the Academy’s Growth plan. Explore more here.
How does ThriveCart’s pricing compare?
Let’s talk numbers. Here’s what some of the other tools on the market cost:
- Kajabi – from $143/month (billed annually)
- SamCart – from approximately $59/month (billed annually) plus, if you use SamCart to collect taxes, there’s an additional 0.5% or 0.35% tax-collection fee
- Kartra – from $52/month (billed annually)
- ThriveCart Standard – just $37/month (billed annually) or $47/month (monthly billing)
ThriveCart comes in significantly under the competition – especially powerful at a time when many creator economy platforms have substantially increased their fees.
ThriveCart isn’t just a checkout – it’s a revenue engine
ThriveCart isn’t just a way to take payments. It’s a revenue-optimized checkout platform built to increase what you earn from every sale.
Out of the box, you get access to:
- Powerful landing page builder, fully mobile-optimized with a leading AI graphics engine, video, and file hosting, all built on checkouts trained and designed on over $8B in sales from 70M+ transactions
- Leading funnel technology (bumps, upsells, and downsells), proven to increase average order value by up to 118%
- Affiliate platform powering over 900,000 affiliates worldwide, all promoting ThriveCart landing pages and offers
- Built-in Academy for course hosting and community management (plus quizzes, certificates, leaderboards, badges, native video hosting, and more)
- Integrations with your favorite email tools, course platforms, and membership software via 100+ direct integrations and thousands more through Zapier and other popular connectors.
All of this without needing a developer. And if you want to go even more custom, you can embed ThriveCart checkouts (your funnels and automations) anywhere. Simply set and forget.
