BigCommerce vs Kibo Commerce (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 Kibo Commerce if

• Fits if you are a mid-size or large seller that needs order management across channels
• Works for retailers that want to add dropship or subscriptions later

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you are a small shop, as it is aimed at mid-size and large sellers
• Not for you if you want to see a price, as none is published
• Pricey if you need B2B tools or subscriptions, since they are optional extras
• Watch out: no free plan or self-service sign-up is listed

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.

Kibo Commerce

• No prices are published; the pricing page lists package contents only and sends buyers to a demo.
• Packages are tiered (Starter to Complete), and some features, such as B2B commerce or subscriptions, are optional extras.
• It is aimed at mid-size and large sellers, with no free plan or self-service signup on the pages we read.
