To be fair

When a rival is the better pick.

Shopify

The biggest app and theme marketplace, and nothing to run or update. Fastest from sign-up to first sale.

BigCommerce

Strong B2B and multi-storefront features, with no fee when you use its embedded payment providers.

WooCommerce

Thousands of plugins, and it lives inside WordPress if your content already does.

Wix

Drag-and-drop site building, good when the store is a small part of a bigger website.

Zoho Commerce

0% fee and native Zoho Books and Inventory, if your company already runs on Zoho.

Questions

About this comparison

Is Makeships Commerce really free?

The Community plan is ₹0: a complete store you run on your own servers, with a “Powered by Humlens Commerce” line. Growth is ₹49,999 per store, per year and adds AI search, enrichment, newsletters, Zoho Books and your brand only.

Why does the calculator only compare with Shopify?

Shopify publishes rupee prices for India, so the comparison needs no currency conversion. BigCommerce and Wix list US dollar prices, and Zoho Commerce didn't show prices beyond Starter, so those are in the price table with their sources instead.

What does moving from Shopify take?

Products, customers and orders move over from exports. Our Launch service sets up the store, theme, payments and shipping for you. Your domain points to the new store on the day you switch.

Where do these prices come from?

Each vendor's own pricing page, checked on 28 September 2026. Prices change, so each one is linked to its source.
