A storefront that belongs to you.
Jane runs a polished menu, and a marketplace where your products and shoppers also live under Jane's brand. Carrot is built the other way around: your storefront, your loyalty program, your app, your data, with delivery dispatch and marketing in the same system.
Where Carrot pulls ahead of Jane
Loyalty you design
Jane Gold is brand-funded cash back on participating products. Carrot Rewards is your program, your earn rates, tiers, missions, and referrals, shown on the menu itself.
Delivery that runs itself
Jane takes delivery orders; running them still needs another tool. Carrot includes route optimization, GPS driver tracking, and automated SMS updates.
An app that's actually yours
Jane's app is the Jane marketplace. Carrot ships a native app with your dispensary's name on it, ordering, rewards, and push in one login.
Carrot vs Jane, capability by capability
| Capability | Carrot | Jane |
|---|---|---|
| Ecommerce Storefront | ||
| Real-Time Inventory Sync | ||
| POS-Integrated Promotions | Depends on POSJane runs specials on the menu, but pushing promotions back into your POS depends on which POS integration you're on. | |
| Loyalty & Rewards Program | Jane GoldJane Gold is brand-funded cash back on participating products rather than a loyalty program you design, and it comes with Ecommerce Premium. | |
| Delivery Dispatch & Tracking | Ordering onlyJane takes delivery orders where legal, but dispatch, routing, and driver tracking need a separate tool. | |
| Native Mobile App | Via partnersJane's own app is the Jane marketplace; a dispensary-branded app comes through third-party partners rather than Jane itself. | |
| Marketing Automation | Via partnersJane provides automation triggers like abandoned carts, but the email and SMS campaigns themselves run in partner platforms such as springbig and AIQ. | |
| AI-Powered Live Chat | Premium onlyJane AI search and chat is included with Ecommerce Premium rather than the standard tier. | |
| Live Human Support | Premium onlyA dedicated Partner Success team comes with Ecommerce Premium. Otherwise support runs through a web ticket form. | |
| SEO-Friendly Storefront | Newer tiersClassic Jane menus embed as iframes; the SEO-friendly options arrived later and depend on which Jane product you're on. | |
| Customer Data Ownership | MarketplaceJane's model includes the Jane marketplace, where your menu and shoppers also live under Jane's own brand. | |

Is Carrot a good alternative to I Heart Jane?+
Yes: especially if you want the customer relationship to be yours. Carrot pairs a fully branded storefront with your own loyalty program, built-in delivery dispatch, marketing automation, and a native app, without a marketplace between you and your shoppers.
What does Carrot include that Jane doesn't?+
A loyalty program you control (rather than brand-funded cash back), delivery routing and driver tracking, and built-in marketing automation, AI chat, and a dispensary-branded native app. Jane leans on partner platforms for those, or gates them to its Premium tier.
How hard is it to switch from Jane to Carrot?+
Carrot replaces an embedded menu directly and syncs to the POS you already run. Customer and points data import during onboarding, there are no onboarding fees, and most stores are live within days.
