Dukaan is a store builder for Indian sellers with a free plan that takes a 4.99% fee on every order. Paid plans cost ₹2,500 to ₹50,000 a year, and every plan keeps charging a per-order fee, falling to 0.99%. - **Value for money: B.** Starter is ₹2,500 a year, far under the category's monthly prices. But every plan also takes an order fee, 3.99% on Starter, so the real cost grows with sales. - **Free plan and trial: B.** The free plan has 1 store, unlimited products and 7 themes, and one seller could run on it. The cost is a 4.99% fee per order. - **Features: C.** Catalog, checkout, orders, delivery and AI writing tools. A custom domain needs Starter, digital products need Growth and marketplace tools need Infinity. - **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. You still build the store, pick a theme and connect payments and shipping. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web store builder with a REST API and webhooks. No desktop apps listed.

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 74 of the 80 other online store builders we grade. It costs $26.33 a year. - You could make: Digital downloads: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you. - You could not: The WhatsApp Business API, which Meta opens only through approved partners. - You could not: An API that other software can build on. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
