Which one is for you
Pick Foxy.io if
- Fits if your site is on Webflow, Wix or WordPress and needs a cart
- Works for sellers of subscriptions, donations or digital products
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want a ready-made store, since it is a cart and checkout only
- Pricey if orders grow: past the allowance each order is 5 to 35 cents, plus per-user fees
- Watch out: multi-currency, multilingual checkout and a custom tax endpoint start at Growth
- Tight if you sell more than 100 orders a month on Starter, as each extra one costs 35 cents
Pick WooCommerce if
- Fits if you already have a WordPress site and want to add a shop to it
- Works for picking your own payment provider with no platform fee on sales
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you don't want to deal with hosting, updates, backups and security
- Not for you if you want one simple bill, as hosting at $25 to $350 a month and extensions are paid separately
- Watch out: many features are paid extensions at $29 to $299 a year each
- Tight if you ship a lot, since labels come through outside services such as ShipStation or Shippo
- Watch out: card fees depend on your processor; Woo gives about 2.5% to 2.9% + 30¢ for WooPayments
How we grade them
| 2.0GPAFoxy.ioFair | 2.2GPAWooCommerceFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C$30 a month on yearly billing for 100 transactions, then 35 cents each. The category's middle is $29, and Growth is $65 for 500 transactions. | CThe plugin is free, but a store needs hosting, which Woo puts at $25 to $350 a month, plus paid extensions at $29 to $299 a year each. So call it $25 a month and up, the ordinary middle here. Woo takes no fee on sales, whichever payment provider you use. |
| Free plan and trial | CA free trial with no credit card. You pick a plan when you're ready to accept real payments, and there's no free plan. | BThe whole plugin is free and open source, with unlimited products and orders and no revenue share, so one person could run a shop on it for years. It isn't an A because a live store can't run without paid hosting. |
| Features | DIt supplies the cart and checkout only, so you need a site to put it on. It sells subscriptions and digital goods, but it can't run a store alone. | CProducts, carts, checkout and orders are all in the free core, any payment provider works, and the app takes payments in person. But a lot sits in extensions, many of them paid, and shipping labels come through outside services such as ShipStation or Shippo. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. You add buttons or links to a site built elsewhere and set up the checkout templates. | DYou host it yourself: WordPress, a web host, and updates, backups and security on you or your host. The phone app's 4.75 from about 7,800 App Store ratings is for running orders once the store is up, not for getting it up. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, with 1,000+ app automations and an API. It fits sites on Webflow, Wix, WordPress or static files. | BWeb, plus a free iPhone and Android app, with Stripe, ShipStation, Shippo, Easyship, Klaviyo, Google, TikTok and Pinterest, and no cap on API use. No desktop app, so B is the ceiling. |
| Best for | adding a cart to a site you already have | adding a store to a WordPress site |

Worth knowing
Foxy.io
- Pricing follows transactions: past the monthly allowance each extra order costs 5 to 35 cents, plus 5 to 10 cents per extra user.
- The pricing page shows annual-billing prices; the monthly-billing prices could not be read.
- Multi-currency, multilingual checkout and a custom tax endpoint start at the Growth plan.
- Foxy provides the cart and checkout, not a storefront; you need a site to put it on.
WooCommerce
- You need WordPress and web hosting from a provider you choose; Woo puts hosting for most stores at $25 to $350 a month.
- Many features come as paid extensions, which Woo says cost $29 to $299 a year each.
- Card fees depend on the processor; Woo gives about 2.5% to 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction for its own WooPayments.
- Because the store runs on your own hosting, updates, backups and security fall to you or your host.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
