Which one is for you
Pick Shopaccino if

- Works for businesses adding B2B or export sales later

- Tight if you want the mobile app or a web POS, which are paid add-ons on every plan
- Pricey if you want multi-currency or APIs, which start at $690 a year on Scale
- Watch out: SMS and WhatsApp charges go to a third-party provider, and prices leave out GST
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

- 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 | CStartUp is $290 a year, or $29 monthly, which is the category's middle. Prices exclude GST. | 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 14-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 | CDomestic payments, shipping, accounting sync, B2B pricing and export tools. International payments and courier automation start on Scale, B2B on ProCommerce. | 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 set up the store, payments, shipping and accounting links yourself. | 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 Zoho, Tally, Razorpay, Stripe, PayPal and other links, and an API from Scale. The mobile app is extra. | 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.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
