| Starting Price | Free plan available in some countries; paid tiers vary by country and are billed monthly in local currency | Entry-level paid plan with monthly billing; additional tiers and annual discounts available | Core plugin is free; hosting, domain, themes, and extensions are common additional costs |
| Best For | LATAM-focused SMBs needing local payments/shipping and local language support | Global-first merchants; strong app ecosystem; multi-market selling | Businesses wanting maximum control and customization; those with technical resources |
| Key Strength | Local-market fit (payments/logistics), local language support, simpler onboarding for local merchants | Ecosystem depth (apps/themes), global scale features, robust checkout capabilities | Flexibility; ownership/control; can customize checkout/flows extensively |
