Why Companies Like These Choose Salsita Over Zakeke?
Built for Complex Products
Not just basic options. Our configurators support modular components, custom dimensions, and advanced rules that plug-and-play tools can’t offer.
Tailored to Your Stack
From UI to backend, everything is built around your product, your team, and your workflow — not forced into a plug-and-play template.
Done With You, Not By You
We don’t hand you a platform and leave you to figure it out. We design, build, and implement your 3D configurator with you, end to end.
What You Get with Salsita
That Zakeke Can’t Match
Product Configuration
Custom Logic & Rules
Salsita
Supports complex configuration logic, dependencies, conditions, and product rules tailored to each business.
Zakeke
Provides conditional logic through “actions” that show, hide, or swap components. Designed primarily for per-option rules rather than multi-level constraint logic across components.
Modular & Composite Products
Salsita
Built to handle complex modular products with components that can be added, repositioned, and resized in real time — including drag-and-drop and nested structures.
Zakeke
Best suited for consumer-grade modularity rather than multi-level assemblies with BOM-driven constraints and nested dependencies.
Salsita
Supports morphing, shows how product components move (sliding doors or rotating slats) and disassemble.
3D Model Animations
Zakeke
Supports basic 3D animations to highlight components.
Custom Dimensions
Salsita
Supports advanced parametric models with unlimited adjustments to dimensions, shapes, and constraints.
Zakeke
Allows shoppers to enter custom dimensions within predefined rules (min/max, aspect ratio, etc.). Doesn’t support parametric 3D modeling or structural adjustments beyond basic scaling.
Salsita
Visual CPQ with real-time pricing based on complex rules, product dependencies, and modular structures. Fully integrated out-of-the-box into the configuration flow.
CPQ & Pricing Logic
Zakeke
Supports rule-based pricing and quote requests.
Platform Features
Configurator Implementation
Salsita
You get a team of configurator experts who work with you to fully understand your product, processes, and goals — and deliver custom UI, flows, and setup tailored to your sales process.
Zakeke
Primarily self-service model. Merchants configure and set up products through the Zakeke dashboard. They can also purchase a setup service for custom UI and workflows.
Self-Service Capabilities
Salsita
Enables you to manage all relevant attributes for your specific project (including price, materials, available components, dimensions...), and implements the rest so you don't have to.
Zakeke
Merchants can modify product information in their Admin Dashboard. They are also responsible for creating and adjusting all aspects of the configurator through the editor.
Conversational AI
Salsita
First to market with an advanced AI design assistant that recommends, helps, and executes in real time using natural language.
Zakeke
Recently marketed AI-powered configuration, but there’s no intelligent interaction. Not an actual assistant, just a basic prompt-to-design feature with no conversation or context.
System Integrations
Salsita
Fully custom integrations with any ERP, CRM, PIM, or eCommerce platform.
Zakeke
Pre-built integrations with major eCommerce platforms. Provides an open API mainly for connecting with commerce platforms not directly supported.
Manufacturing Outputs
Salsita
Flexible outputs to CAD formats like STEP, DXF, or OBJ—adapted to your specific manufacturing or design workflow.
Zakeke
No support for CAD exports. Outputs are limited to 2D print files, order summaries, or static mockups.
