Which one is for you
Pick Jumpseller if
- Fits if you want a cheap start and no cut of your sales
- Makes sense if you sell in several languages on a mid plan
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a free plan, since there's only a 7-day trial
- Tight if you need discount codes or customer login, which start on Pro at $37.80
- Watch out: store languages are capped at 2 on Basic and Plus, 4 on Pro and 8 on Premium
- Watch out: unused AI credits don't roll over, and the mobile app needs checkout version V2
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
How we grade them

|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BBasic is $10.80 a month billed yearly, inside the category's cheapest quarter. But discount codes and customer login start on Pro at $37.80. | 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 7-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. |
| Features | CUnlimited products, a theme editor, AI credits, digital products and appointments. Reviews, wishlists and abandoned carts need Pro, and gift cards need Premium. | AIt covers the whole job: themes, checkout, stock across up to 10 locations, discounted labels, email campaigns, selling at pop-ups from your phone, marketplace and social sync, even listing products in AI chats. More than 13,000 apps cover the rest. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. You build the store and set up payments and shipping. | A4.7 from about 42,800 App Store ratings, far more than any other store here. A theme or a written prompt gets the storefront going, and Sidekick answers questions and does jobs in the admin. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb store with Google, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and WhatsApp channels and a mobile app for orders. No desktop app. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with Amazon, eBay, Walmart, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Google and YouTube, plus APIs for custom apps. There's no desktop app, which keeps it off an A. |

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.
