How Carrd and Tertulia compare

Carrd is intentionally small. One-page sites, responsive by default, with forms, embeds, and payment buttons on Pro, for a price that is low. When you need a landing page, a profile, or a coming-soon page today, Carrd could be the right tool.

Tertulia for Authors is a website built around the books. Enter an ISBN or ASIN and it imports the covers, descriptions, reviews, and buy links, then adds a blog, an events calendar, and a mailing list. Pro adds direct sales and newsletters. That is real strength. If the site should come from the catalog instead of a blank page, Tertulia is built for exactly that.

Where they are different

Choose Carrd when one good page is all you need.

Choose Tertulia when the center of the work is the book catalog: imported pages, retailer links, events, a reader magnet, and direct ebook, audiobook, print, and merchandise sales with no Tertulia commission.
