Which one is for you
Pick Shoplo if
- Fits if you sell in Poland and read Polish
- Makes sense if you want a hosted store with a first-year promotion
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you read English only, since the pricing pages are in Polish
- Pricey if you stay beyond year one, when Standard goes to 249 PLN a month
- Watch out: the pricing pages conflict, with an Enterprise figure that differs from the Pro card
- Watch out: packages are branded Shoper, so plan names and limits may differ from Shoplo's older plans
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
| 2.2GPAShoploFair | 2.2GPAWooCommerceFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CStandard is 249 PLN a month net after a first year at 419 PLN, so the promotion fades. That lands in the category's middle. | 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 14-day trial with no credit card, and 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 | CHosted store, themes, up to 50,000 products, marketplace and payment links and an app store with an API. Multi-warehouse needs Premium. | 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 rating on record. You set up a store, themes, payments and shipping. | 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 store with an Allegro link, an app store and an API. No phone or desktop apps. | 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 | Polish shops on a hosted platform | adding a store to a WordPress site |

Worth knowing
Shoplo
- Prices are in Polish zloty excluding VAT; the first-year Standard price of 419 PLN is a promotion shown as 2,988 PLN crossed out.
- The pages do not display each package price directly; renewal prices come from the FAQ, and its Enterprise figure conflicts with the Pro card.
- Packages on the site are branded Shoper, so the plan names and limits may follow that brand rather than Shoplo's older plans.
- Multi-warehouse, 24/7 support and speed optimization need Premium or above.
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.
