Shoppy vs Tebex (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Shoppy if

• Fits if you sell digital goods and take crypto
• Works for people who want PayPal with no fee on the free plan

Look elsewhere if

• Watch out: the pricing page gives 5% in the plan card and 4% in the table for crypto, so check before you rely on either
• Tight if you want your own domain or theme, as both need the $29 Business plan
• Skip it if you want recent proof of upkeep, since the footer is dated 2022
• Skip it if you want an app, as it runs in a browser only

Pick Tebex if

• Fits if you run a game server and sell ranks or items
• Makes sense if you want someone else to handle sales tax

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you pay for Plus, because the 5% fee still applies on top of £12.49
• Tight if you want a custom domain, the HTML and CSS editor or abandoned basket recovery, all of which need Plus
• Watch out: prices on the server page are in pounds, and the studio offering has no published prices
• Skip it if you want an app, as there are no desktop or phone apps listed

Shoppy

• The pricing page gives two different crypto fees for the free plan, 5% in the plan card and 4% in the comparison table; check before relying on either.
• Custom domains, theming and removal of fees need the Business plan at $29 per month, billed annually.
• The site footer carries a 2022 copyright line, so some pages may be older than they look.
• Runs in a browser only; no apps are listed.

Tebex

• Prices on the server page are in pounds sterling, and a 5% fee applies to every transaction on both plans.
• The server pricing page lists named games such as Minecraft, ARK, Rust and Garry's Mod; Tebex also has a separate studio offering with no published prices.
• A custom domain, HTML and CSS editor and abandoned basket recovery need the paid Plus plan.
• Runs in a browser and inside games through the in-game store; no desktop or mobile apps are listed.
