BigCommerce vs CloudCart (2026): which should you pick?

Pick BigCommerce if

• Fits if you want discount types and shipping rules built in rather than added as apps
• Works for selling on Amazon, eBay and Walmart from one catalog

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if your sales are growing, as passing $30K a year moves you up to Growth at $79 a month
• Pricey if you want abandoned-cart emails, customer groups or stored cards, which start on Growth at $79 a month
• Watch out: paying through a provider outside BigCommerce's list adds 2% a sale on Core and 1% on Growth
• Watch out: Scale covers $33,333 of sales a month and charges 0.9% on anything above it
• Skip it if you want a free plan, as there's only a 15-day trial

Pick CloudCart if

• Fits if you sell in Bulgaria, Romania, Greece or Hungary with local couriers
• Works for stores that prefer a flat fee with no transaction fee

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a free trial, as the vendor says there is none
• Tight if you grow, because each plan is tied to six-month revenue and the store is moved up
• Pricey if you want a human, since the account manager and phone support start at CC Pro at €99
• Watch out: prices exclude VAT, and local invoice and tax rules are listed for four countries only

BigCommerce

• Each plan caps sales over the past twelve months (gross order value minus 10%); passing $30K on Core or $100K on Growth moves the store up a plan.
• Orders paid through providers outside BigCommerce's embedded list carry a fee of 2% on Core, 1% on Growth and 0.6% on Scale.
• Scale covers $33,333 of sales a month and charges 0.9% on sales above that.
• Customer groups, abandoned-cart emails and stored cards need Growth or higher, and product filtering needs Scale.

CloudCart

• Each plan is tied to the store's revenue over six months, so a growing store is moved to the next plan.
• The vendor says there is no free trial: new stores pay €1 a month for the first 3 months, with no contract. Prices exclude VAT.
• A dedicated account manager and phone support start at CC Pro; the two lowest plans get help center and email support.
• Local invoice and tax rules are listed for Bulgaria, Romania, Greece and Hungary only.
