Best for Spanish-speaking sellers in Latin America
Tiendanube is a hosted store builder for Latin American sellers with a free Inicial plan and paid plans from AR$20,999 a month. The pages are in Spanish and prices differ by country, and sales through other payment methods carry a fee.
Who Tiendanube is for
- Fits if you sell in Latin America and read Spanish
- Works for new sellers who want a free store with Pago Nube payments
Who Tiendanube is not for
- Skip it if you need an English site, as the pages we read are in Spanish
- Tight if you use other payment methods: they carry a percentage fee
- Watch out: Pago Nube charges a commission to release money
- Watch out: WhatsApp support starts on Impulso, and prices on other country pages differ from the peso figures
Why Tiendanube gets a 2.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyEsencial is AR$20,999 a month on yearly billing in the Argentine view, and each country has its own prices, so we can't place it cleanly. Chat Nube AI chats are billed per conversation.
- BFree plan and trialThe free Inicial plan has unlimited products, sales and visits, with no transaction fee on Pago Nube. One person could run a small shop on it.
- CFeaturesStore design, payments, shipping, social and WhatsApp selling. Bulk actions and source-code access need Impulso, and advanced stats need Escala.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. You build and set up the store yourself, in Spanish on the pages we read.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb store builder with WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, Google Shopping and Analytics links. No desktop apps listed.

Keep Tiendanube, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Tiendanube 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 is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 60 of the 80 other online store builders we grade. It costs $251.99 a year.
What you could make
- Inventory: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- The WhatsApp Business API, which Meta opens only through approved partners.
- Discounted carrier rates and labels, which take an agreement with each carrier.
- It plugs into other products, WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Tiendanube’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.
