Straight talk
When Zerosix is the right choice, and when Cartia is

Choose Zerosix if you are looking for paid rollout support and broad marketing tooling, with a budget that can carry it.
Where Cartia keeps it simple
- Zerosix lists €190 excl. VAT (€228 incl. VAT) of setup fees per location. At Cartia, getting started is self-serve and costs €0.

Transparency
What Cartia openly acknowledges
A comparison that only lists its own advantages helps no one. Here is where Cartia openly stands today.
- The Free plan is a real program, not a demo: Apple Wallet and Google Wallet are included from €0. CSV export, campaigns on the card and staff accounts start with the Pro plan. Email campaigns are coming soon.
- The Pro plan covers one shop. Beyond that, you need the Business plan: 3 shops and 3 programs included for €59.90/month tax included, then €10/month tax included per additional location, with no limit on the number.
- Cartia is a young platform: we don’t publish customer case studies or revenue figures that we couldn’t back up.
