BigCommerce vs Storenvy (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 Storenvy if

• Fits if you sell a few handmade or small-batch items and want marketplace exposure
• Makes sense if you want to try selling at $0 before paying

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you sell more than 20 products on the free plan
• Skip it if you want a custom domain or an ad-free store without paying
• Watch out: the page lists no fees for the lower plans, and no commission-free selling except on Professional
• Watch out: the terms describe a monthly, non-refundable subscription fee
• Skip it if you need integrations, as none are 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.

Storenvy

• The free plan is capped at 20 products, and the page lists no custom domain or ad-free store on it.
• The page lists no commissions or handling fees only on the Professional plan; it does not state fees for the others.
• The 50%-off prices apply to the first 3 months for new signups only.
• The site's terms describe a monthly, non-refundable subscription fee.
