BigCommerce vs Sana 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 Sana Commerce if

• Fits if your company runs SAP or Microsoft Dynamics and sells to other businesses
• Works for distributors that want customers to reorder from the ERP's own prices

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if your ERP is neither SAP nor Dynamics, as nothing else is supported
• Not for you if you want a published price, since the pricing page leads to a request form
• Tight if you want full support on the cheaper plan, as support level depends on the plan
• Watch out: no free plan or trial 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.

Sana Commerce

• It integrates only with Microsoft Dynamics and SAP ERP systems, so other ERPs are not supported.
• No prices are published; the pricing page leads to a request form, and the plans (Essential, Advanced) carry no listed cost.
• Support level depends on the plan, from a shared support pool to dedicated staff.
