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.

After testing all the major players, I can confidently say that Shopify is the best alternative to BigCommerce in 2025. It’s easier to use, more flexible with design and apps, and simply gives store owners a better experience overall.

But like BigCommerce, Shopify isn’t for everyone. So what other options are out there?

Enterprise-level companies need more from their ecommerce platform than most organizations. As your business grows, you need your solution to offer more customization options, advanced reporting capabilities, and endless scalability.

Solutions like Squarespace Enterprise are specially designed to address the requirements of larger companies, as their sale volumes begin to skyrocket.

Currently supporting companies like Colgate and Ylopo, Squarespace Enterprise promises organizations more flexibility, and more specialist support than any other Squarespace plan.

The question is, is Squarespace Enterprise right for your business? Or would you be better off exploring packages from companies like Wix, Shopify, and BigCommerce?

I took a closer look at the benefits offered by Squarespace’s enterprise plan, to help you make the right choice.

If you’re a creator, coach, or influencer trying to monetise your audience, this review will show you which one’s right for you.

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.

SamCart and ThriveCart are two of the most popular checkout platforms online — but which one actually delivers better results for online sellers?

I’ve spent the last decade building ecommerce businesses, testing sales funnels, and optimising checkout flows. I’ve personally used both platforms across live launches, course sales, and client campaigns.

Now I’m breaking down the differences for you — feature by feature, with verdicts based on real-world use.
