The report card
Best for a hosted store in Bulgaria, Romania, Greece or Hungary
CloudCart is a hosted store with local couriers and tax rules for four countries and no transaction fee. There is no free trial, new stores pay €1 a month for the first 3 months, and your plan is tied to six-month revenue.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | €19 a month billed monthly, or €168 a year, is near the category's cheaper quarter of $20. The plan is tied to six-month revenue, so a growing store moves up to €39, €99 or €299. |
| Free plan and trial | F | The vendor says there is no free trial. New stores pay €1 a month for the first 3 months, and nothing is free. |
| Features | B | Store, checkout, themes, local payments and couriers, marketing, sales channels, B2B and multi-market selling. Local invoice rules cover four countries only, which is a limit of reach more than of the job. |
| Ease of use | C | You build and set up the store yourself. No store rating is on record. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, with eMAG, OLX, Etsy, TikTok Shop, Google Shopping, Apple Pay and Google Pay, plus developer access. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who CloudCart is for
- Fits if you sell in Bulgaria, Romania, Greece or Hungary with local couriers
- Works for stores that prefer a flat fee with no transaction fee
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want a free trial, as the vendor says there is none
- Tight if you grow, because each plan is tied to six-month revenue and the store is moved up
- Pricey if you want a human, since the account manager and phone support start at CC Pro at €99
- Watch out: prices exclude VAT, and local invoice and tax rules are listed for four countries only
Good to know
Good for
- Merchants in Bulgaria, Romania, Greece or Hungary who want local couriers and tax rules built in
- Stores that prefer a flat fee with no transaction fee
- Sellers who also list on eMAG, OLX or Etsy from one catalog
Worth knowing
- Each plan is tied to the store's revenue over six months, so a growing store is moved to the next plan.
- The vendor says there is no free trial: new stores pay €1 a month for the first 3 months, with no contract. Prices exclude VAT.
- A dedicated account manager and phone support start at CC Pro; the two lowest plans get help center and email support.
- Local invoice and tax rules are listed for Bulgaria, Romania, Greece and Hungary only.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace CloudCart you would be making checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $254.72 a year.
What you could make
- Digital downloads and inventory: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- Texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers.
- Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
- It plugs into other products, eMAG, OLX and Etsy among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. CloudCart’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
