| Pricing | $0.99 per item sold (Individual plan) · free tier: None; the Individual plan has no monthly fee but charges $0.99 per item sold | $0/month for core software (hosting from $25/month per vendor) · free tier: Free core platform with unlimited products, orders and APIs; no monthly subscription and no platform fee |
| Pricing model | Subscription plus per-sale commission (referral fees), with usage-based optional programs | Freemium (free open-source core plus paid extensions, hosting and processing fees) |
| Best for | Sellers of physical products in mid-to-low referral-fee categories (Computers and Consumer Electronics 8%, Automotive 12%) shifting more than roughly 40 units a month, especially Brand Registry-enrolled brands that want to buy fulfilment and demand rather than build a site. | WordPress-native merchants with in-house or agency development capacity, especially high-GMV stores where a percentage-of-revenue platform fee would dominate cost, or stores needing unusual product logic, unlimited variants, multi-gateway checkout and many international markets. |
| Avoid if | You need an owned store with your own domain, checkout and customer list, sell thin-margin low-ASP units hit by the $0.30 minimum rule, operate in a punitive fee category, depend on responsive human support during onboarding, or could not survive a sudden single-channel account freeze. | You are a non-technical solo founder wanting to launch this week, or you have no budget or appetite for ongoing maintenance — the G2 record on learning curve, update breakage and plugin dependency, plus vendor TCO examples showing $60k–$200k first-year development, make this the wrong choice. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
