We track 15 Marketing & Email tools, and every price below is verified against the vendor's public pricing page — no estimates, no affiliate ordering. Alternatives are ranked by transparent published pricing first, then by entry price.

DIY on a budget? Pick WooCommerce (WordPress plugin, free) or Wix. Enterprise B2B needing multi-brand? Salesforce Commerce Cloud or BigCommerce. Digital products only? Gumroad or Lemon Squeezy (MoR).

Entry price alone rarely decides a migration: check the per-seat step-ups, the Staff accounts + locations caps, and how often each vendor has raised prices before switching away from Shopify.
