Platform comparison
Shopify compared with other shop systems
Four comparisons for the phase before you pick an agency: which system carries your business, and which one carries it better. Each page names the case against Shopify as clearly as the case for it.
We build on Shopify, so read these pages knowing where we stand. That is exactly why every comparison has a section on when the other system is the better choice - a comparison without a counter-argument is worth nothing to you.

Why you will not find prices here
Licence models, editions and transaction fees change faster than a page like this gets revised. We describe how the cost structures differ and link the official pricing pages, rather than printing numbers that quietly go stale.
