Eden vs SamCart

Upsells and email on a $79 plan, not $199.

SamCart and Eden both put a checkout on a page you design. On Eden, order bumps start at $29, one-click upsells and email sequences come on Pro at $79, and the pages sit in the same place as your email list, courses, and community.

The short version

Checked November 12, 2026

SamCart is a strong checkout with sales pages around it. It takes more ways to pay, takes no cut, and has A/B tests, but upsells, bumps, and affiliates need Pro at $199 a month, and email lives in another tool. Eden gives you order bumps from $29, and upsells, affiliates, and email sequences on Pro at $79 plus 2.5%. Past about $4,800 a month in sales, SamCart Pro's flat price wins. Pick Eden if you want the funnel and the email list in one place for less.

01 · Upsells

Bumps and upsells without the top plan.

  • Order bumps on Starter. Add a bump to any checkout on the $29 plan.

  • Up to 3 one-click upsells on Pro. Offer the next thing right after they pay, with no second card entry.

  • Affiliates on Pro too. Let people share your products for a cut, on the same $79 plan.

02 · Email

Your list lives next to your pages.

  • Signups land on your list. People who grab your free guide join your Eden email list, with the welcome emails you already set up.

  • Broadcasts on Starter. Email up to 10,000 contacts on Starter, and 50,000 on Pro.

  • Sequences on Pro. Send a series after someone buys or signs up, and sell the next product in it.

03 · Your website

A whole website, beyond the sales page.

  • Home, About, and Shop. Build a site with a menu and footer at your handle, or on your own domain from Starter.

  • Your link in bio stays. Turn on Home and your store link opens your site. Your link in bio moves to /bio.

  • One look everywhere. Pick a style once in Site. Every page, funnel, and Product page uses it.

04 · Build it with AI

Tell it the goal, get the pages.

  • It reads your store first. The Site Builder looks at your products and prices, then asks a few short questions.

  • A page map before it builds. It proposes the website or funnel, you change what you want, then it builds every page as a draft.

  • Or run it from your own AI. Eden's MCP lets Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor make and edit your pages and site.

Credit where it's due

  • No platform cut on sales, at any size.
  • A/B tests on Pro.
  • Unlimited pages, products, and checkouts on every plan.
The wedge

What Eden does that SamCart doesn't

  • Order bumps from $29, and upsells and affiliates on Pro at $79 instead of $199.
  • Email broadcasts and sequences in the plan.
  • A whole website with a menu, plus funnels and Product pages.
  • The Site Builder, an AI that reads your store and builds the pages with you.

Pick SamCart if

Monthly plans plus platform fees on sales. Payment processing comes out on both sides and is left out here.

SamCart takes no cut, so it gets better as you sell more. Eden Pro costs less up to about $4,800 a month in sales against SamCart Pro billed monthly, or about $2,800 against Pro billed yearly. Eden's price also covers your email. Card processing is about the same on both sides and is left out.

05 · Switching

Move your products and your buyers.

  • Import your buyers. Export your customers from SamCart, import them in Customers, and pick what they bought. They get in without paying again.

  • Copy your old pages. Give the Site Builder a link to a page you own. It reads it, saves its pictures, and builds to match its look with your words.

  • Subscriptions start again. SamCart's subscriptions don't move over, so paying members start a new one on Eden, paid to your own Stripe.

With Eden everything I need is in one space. Before, any creative efforts were dependent on multiple apps. From Day 1 when Eden helped me dial in my voice, I felt heard - and that clarity opened things up for me, and that I could more easily move forward with sharing my vision.
