| Value for money | BCore is $29 a month at any order count, so that's what a 300-order shop pays, monthly only with no yearly discount. Set against its listed rivals at that size, it's among the cheapest. Syndication and Klaviyo wait for Growth at $79, though. | CA 300-order shop fits Convert exactly, at $49.99 a month, billed every 30 days with no yearly plan. Set against its listed rivals at that size, that's the middle. It grows quickly, though: $50 more for each further 300 orders, so a busy month costs more. |
