7/10

A credible Shopify alternative, valuable for its rich base and no commission, slightly behind on the depth of its app ecosystem.

BigCommerce is a hosted SaaS e-commerce platform, a direct competitor to Shopify. It lets you build and run an online store without worrying about infrastructure, positioned toward growing merchants and multichannel selling (marketplaces, social networks, B2B).

What is BigCommerce used for?

BigCommerce is used to launch a complete store and sell across several channels from one interface. It stands out for a rich built-in feature set without third-party apps and, above all, no commission on sales, unlike some competitors. It targets merchants who want to scale without a variable cost on revenue.

BigCommerce or Shopify?

Against Shopify, BigCommerce includes more features natively and takes no commission on sales, but has a smaller app and theme ecosystem. The choice often comes down to sales volume and reliance on third-party apps.

How much does BigCommerce cost?

Standard is around $39 per month, Plus $105, Pro $399, and Enterprise on quote. Tiers differ by advanced features and an annual revenue threshold beyond which you must upgrade. No commission is taken on sales.
