Which one is for you

Pick Fynd if

  • Fits if you sell in India and also want marketplace channels
  • Makes sense if you want a 30-day trial before paying

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you want a free plan, since there's only a trial
  • Tight if you want a custom domain, which Basic lacks
  • Pricey if sales grow: transaction fees of 1.5% to 2.5% come on top of gateway fees
  • Watch out: prices are in rupees plus GST, and the page names tiers two different ways

Pick Shopify if

  • Fits if you sell online and at markets or pop-ups and want one stock count for both
  • Works for sellers who'll use Shopify Payments and its discounted shipping labels

Look elsewhere if

  • Pricey if you want your own payment provider, as Basic adds 2% to each of those sales
  • Not for you if you want a few weeks to try it, since the free trial is 3 days
  • Tight if you run a shop counter, as POS Pro is $89 a month per location
  • Watch out: syncing more than 50 marketplace orders a month costs 1%, up to $99 a month
  • Watch out: the next steps up are Grow at $79 and Advanced at $299, and Plus needs a 1- or 3-year term

Value for money
BBasic is ₹11,111 a year plus GST, under the category's cheapest-quarter mark. A 2.5% transaction fee applies on Basic.
CBasic is $29 a month on yearly billing ($39 monthly), with your own domain and unlimited products. That's right at this category's middle. Shopify takes no extra cut if you use Shopify Payments, but adds 2% to each sale on Basic if you use another payment provider.
Free plan and trial
CA 30-day trial with no credit card, and no free plan.
DNo free plan, and the trial is just 3 days, though it needs no card. After that it's $1 a month for 3 months, a $3 start rather than a free one.

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.
