Get started with Ecwid today and find out
what our revolutionary ecommerce platform can do for your business

Ecwid is a great BigCommerce alternative, first because Ecwid allows you to retain your existing site and also due to the pricing model. Ecwid will always offer a free plan to customers, which offers an enormous array of powerful features to address your needs. Should you require additional features or support, our reasonably priced plans offer even more capabilities all included in the software. There are no hidden costs for additional add-ons or plug-ins required to increase the capability of your site. With Ecwid, you’ll benefit from unlimited bandwidth and unlimited storage, and no transaction fees so you can grow your business without paying more to your software provider.

The 15-day free trial for BigCommerce provides only a limited opportunity for e-commerce retailers to create and test out their online store, after that you must upgrade to a paid plan. Once you’re required to begin monthly payments when your trial expires, you’re also likely to need to purchase additional plug-ins, third-party apps, or software to customize the features you need for your online store. Sometimes these fees are one-time, but most often they are monthly fees and can really add up to a costly monthly bill for your business. BigCommerce also adds on a 1.5% transaction fee for customers using their base level plan, which hits entry-level businesses where it counts and takes money away from your pocket when you’re just getting started.
