YoKart offers a one time purchase option with no recurring charges, granting you a lifetime license of the software. The standard YoKart package is $1249 that comes with all the essential ecommerce marketplace features. Whereas CS Cart will charge you the same amount every year for their standard package that comes with very few essential features.
CS-Cart - Standard
Unlike YoKart, CS Cart charges you recurring yearly payments to keep your virtual marketplace up and running. Not to mention the extra paid ad ons you will have to purchase for each of your design and functionality related business requirements.
Note - When it comes to lifetime licences, CS Cart pricing starts at a staggering amount of $2999 whereas in YoKart it starts at just $499.
Technical Support
YoKart - GoQuick
Yokart takes pride in providing the best in class technical support (free for 6-12 months depending on the selected package) to our clients which includes an unlimited no. of support requests, catering to all types of queries (security, design & functionality), mobile apps support, and addresses all requests with equal urgency, regardless of their severity.
CS-Cart - Standard
CS-Cart support is a bit of a mess and you can find countless instances of client dissatisfaction on third-party review websites that point out their poor support quality. Some of the reasons being - only 15 support requests per month, caters to only security bugs, no mobile app support, and does not address all requests with equal urgency. (Requests are picked up selectively based on the severity of the bug which results in longer response times to solve the issue.)
Software Demo
YoKart - GoQuick
Enjoy the Demo of our software for free anytime, from anywhere and at your own pace without ever sharing your personal details or credit information. We value transparency above all else, hence we keep on updating our demo on a regular basis to let our users experience all the latest features and updates we add to our software. And in case you need guidance we even provide a free tailored/personalized demo of our software over a call.
CS-Cart - Standard
The CS Cart marketplace demo is only available once you share your email address and phone no. and that too will be a free trial of only 14 days. Unlike Yo! Kart, which will discuss your needs over a call, no matter the duration, CS Cart explicitly states that calls are limited to 30 minutes only.
Scalable & Customizable
YoKart - GoQuick
Yokart is built using scalability in mind as we offer extensive customizability to our clients. The in house team of developers that has been working on the product for more than 10 years is also responsible for all the customization requests. Their familiarity with the product gives them an edge to save both time and cost in order to deliver the best end products.
CS-Cart - Standard
For all the customization requests, CS Cart suggests using paid add-ons and if you still have a personalized request they refer you to use 3rd party developers. The main drawback of using these developers lies in their lack of underlying knowledge and familiarity with the product which results in more time and money wastage.

"On their website, CS Cart has confidently showcased that one of their client is hosting millions of products on their marketplace. Of course, they have to do it for marketing as apart from that one client no other CS-Cart based marketplace supports more than 20K products. That very same client, according to Built With, is not even using the CS-Cart platform anymore. "

YoKart starts at only $1249 (one-time license fee) with no recurring charges and you own the platform forever, Whereas CS-Cart might charge you $599 only but it comes as a recurring cost with very little to offer (support and features wise). Not to mention the extra amount you will have to pay for every add-on in CS-Cart which are already available for free in every YoKart Package.
Reviews and Ratings
Trusted by more than 5000+ clients to launch their eCommerce marketplaces, YoKart is widely considered the superior option by the industry. Visionary entrepreneurs like Gurbaksh Chahal chose YoKart to develop and launch their marketplace. Unlike CS-Cart, whose biggest clients are not even with them anymore.
Support
YoKart's technical support includes an unlimited no. of support requests of any type, mobile app support and a dedicated resource as your point of contact. Unlike CS-Cart which provides only 15 no. of support requests per month, no mobile app support, caters to your requests on their own time depending on your type of request.
Accessible and Flexible
The affordable pricing and the scope of scalability make YoKart the perfect option for Startups, SMBs and Enterprises. With no knowledge of coding required, manage your marketplace without having to worry about streamlining your industry-specific e-commerce operations. Unlike CS-Cart which offers a very rigid and incomplete solution that relies too much on paid upgradations to maintain and scale your marketplace.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do businesses actually migrate from YoKart to CS-Cart multi-vendor?
No, the marketing gimmick* is used to mislead prospects with baseless claims. YoKart has served more than 5000+ businesses globally. The solution still underpins platforms across the world.
In fact, the team consistently gets requests from clients for new YoKart release updates. Nonetheless, it is natural for some clients to move away towards other options. For instance, ShopClues, CS-Cart's biggest portfolio feature is not using the CS-Cart platform anymore.
Is YoKart Pricing more affordable than CS Cart Pricing?
It's pretty clear that YoKart is far more affordable than CS Cart, especially in the long run. Here's how -
Let's take a look at the base price of the CS-Cart standard package, which is $599 and comes with a yearly recurring payment. Not only does this package provide the bare minimum, it does not even come with all the essential e-commerce marketplace features. So naturally, you will be tempted to opt for a higher CS-Cart package, especially now that they have one-time payment options. The first choice in that category after the $599 option would be the CS Cart Plus package which is available at a whopping $2999. For reference, Yokart GoQuick Boost is available at just $1999 which provides far more value than the former in the same category. If you go for the subscription-based pricing then it will cost you somewhere between $1199 to $2999 per year which ultimately adds up to your annual expenses and budget for maintaining your marketplace up and running.
All of these costs will eventually increase as you decide to scale or upgrade the software by adding more add-ons each of which costs an extra amount. With YoKart, most of those add-ons are already pre-integrated into the software which in return saves your budget for your other business expenses.
Just for the 1st year you will instantly save $1,838.25 by choosing YoKart. Refer to the following section to see how.
Is there any free Customer support with YoKart as compared to CS Cart marketplace solution?
YoKart comes with up to 1 year of free customer support while CS-Cart comes with Customer care standard plans with limited customer requests. For more needs, their plans are priced at $2000/y - $3600/y.
What makes YoKart a great CS Cart alternative?
YoKart is a better option for small businesses, as it has lower pricing plans and still offers all the necessary features for launching and managing a multi-vendor eCommerce marketplace. Moreover, YoKart has no recurring or any other hidden charges, allowing small businesses to minimize overheads till they achieve break-even. Furthermore, YoKart can be a better option for large businesses as well, as it offers more customization options and advanced features ― that can be tailored to specific business needs. The support of an in-house team gives businesses an edge with customization possibilities from a reliable and cost-effective single source.
What is the advantage of having in-house customization services available with the YoKart solutions?
Customization services need an in-depth understanding of the software and industry expertise in translating client requirements into robust outcomes
An in-house team brings in experience and expertise in the software, making it best suited to deliver timely, predictable, precise, and value-driven outcomes.
Overall, relying on both software and services from a single source allows aspiring entrepreneurs or enterprises to focus on other critical business activities, and trust experts to work towards the final platform.
Which development practice do customization teams follow at YoKart?
At YoKart teams follow Agile eCommerce development services ― leveraging a collaborative & cross-team effort ― leading to precise, robust, time & cost-efficient solutions. Additionally, Agile development renders flexibility and allows teams to respond to changes with dynamism and speed.
How do customization projects undertaken by team YoKart has helped in perfecting the YoKart software?
With each customization project that team YoKart works on, it acquires in-depth industry knowledge of various eCommerce niches within the ecosystem and across geographical borders.
For instance, Team YoKart has worked in e-retail, B2B, rental, cab-booking, handyman services, e-learning, and many more industries across the eCommerce spectrum ― for clients from the Americas (North & South), Europe, Australia, Asia, and Africa.
As a result, the team has accumulated expertise pan industries, globally. This expertise has also benefited the development of the YoKart solution itself, by infusing the solution with core competencies for a competitive advantage in each sector.
Why does YoKart charges for updates while CS-Cart does not?
Because both solutions follow distinct approaches towards pricing their products. YoKart follows a transparent pricing policy ― what you see is what you get. Unlike CS-Cart, YoKart is available for a lifetime of use with a single payment price package(s). So once the payment is made for a YoKart copy, the business owns it for a lifetime of use ― this also means that our clients have the freedom to choose whether they want updates or not. If they find additional value in the updates they can purchase it, otherwise they have already paid for the existing copy.
On the other hand, CS-Cart charges for annual recurring subscriptions, and also charges for update subscriptions, effectively asking you to pay more, even if the update may be of little value to you.
