BigCommerce vs Sellfy
Both ladders below were read from the vendors’ own pricing pages, in this market, on the dates shown. Nothing is converted: what you see is what each page showed a reader here.
What each one is
BigCommercesite ↗pricing ↗
A hosted e-commerce platform aimed at larger and faster-growing stores, with multi-channel selling built in. Paid plans start at $399/mo (Scale); no free plan is published.
Sellfysite ↗pricing ↗
A storefront for creators selling digital products, print-on-demand and subscriptions without building a shop. Paid plans start at $29/mo (Starter); no free plan is published. The ladder we hold runs 3 paid tiers, topping out at $159/mo (Premium). We read the same $29/mo in every market we check, so this vendor does not price by country. It quotes USD here rather than local currency, so your bank sets the conversion.

Where they differ
- Cheapest way in: Sellfy at $29/mo, against BigCommerce at $399/mo. That is the entry price in this market on the dates shown, not a judgement about which suits you.
- Free plans: neither publishes one. Any free access here is a trial, which is a deadline.
- How far each ladder goes: BigCommerce tops out at $399/mo, Sellfy at $159/mo. A deeper ladder is not a worse deal — it is a bill that keeps climbing if you keep growing.
- Sellfy: We read the same $29/mo in every market we check, so this vendor does not price by country. It quotes USD here rather than local currency, so your bank sets the conversion.
