shopify vs shopbase

Quick answer: Shopify is the better choice overall. It’s more flexible, scalable, and easier to use with access to thousands of integrations.

ShopBase is best for beginners running lean dropshipping stores, but it falls short on SEO, apps, and design options.

I’ve built dozens of ecommerce sites on both Shopify and ShopBase — and I’ve tested everything from payment setups to page speed.

Below, I’ll break down every feature side by side so you can decide which one makes the most sense for your business.

Shopify vs OpenCart: Which One’s Actually Worth Building Your Store On?

Quick answer: If you’re not technical and want a store live today, go Shopify. If you’re technical or have a dev and want full control with no monthly fees, OpenCart wins.

I’ve spent years building stores on both platforms, testing them under real-world conditions with real clients, and this comparison pulls from that hands-on experience. If you’re stuck trying to choose between them, this guide will walk you through every key difference — from setup and pricing to SEO, design, and long-term scalability.

Shopify vs Prestashop: My Verdict for 2025

If you’re trying to build or scale an ecommerce store, chances are you’ve looked at Shopify and Prestashop. Both are solid contenders, but they offer wildly different experiences depending on your business stage, tech skills, and growth goals.

Quick Answer:

Use Shopify if you want an easy, all-in-one platform that handles the heavy lifting.

Use Prestashop if you want complete control, can code (or have a dev), and don’t mind piecing things together.

I’ve worked with both—clients scaling 7-figure stores on Shopify and dev-heavy setups on Prestashop. So here’s what I know, tested, and learned the hard way.

Let’s break it down.

Here’s the quick answer: BigCommerce pricing starts at $39/month and goes up to $399/month, with custom pricing for enterprise plans. But that number doesn’t tell you much on its own.

BigCommerce often gets labeled as an enterprise-only platform, but that’s not true — it’s actually one of the best setups for growing stores that need more control over design, SEO, and performance without hitting a ceiling.

After consulting ecommerce brands for over a decade and reviewing over 6,000 stores for our ecommerce design gallery, I’ve seen firsthand where each BigCommerce plan delivers — and where it holds you back.

I’ve been building Shopify stores since 2012—custom themes, performance tuning, headless builds, app development, the whole lot.

When Shopify announced Horizon in Editions Summer 2025, I didn’t roll my eyes like I usually do during big releases. I was actually excited.

After building Shopify apps and themes for more than a decade, I could see right away that Horizon wasn’t just an upgrade. It was Shopify finally catching up to where design, performance, and customisation need to be in 2025.
