Shopify Advanced vs Plus: how significant is the difference between Shopify’s top-end standard plan, and its enterprise-grade solution? There’s definitely a major leap in terms of pricing, from around $399 per month (or $299 per month if you pay annually) for Advanced Shopify to prices starting from $2,300 each month for Shopify Plus.

After experimenting with the features of both plans, I can say that Shopify Plus is definitely worth the extra cost – for certain types of companies.

My Bottom Line Upfront

Dabbling with a business idea you are not sure is worth investing substantial time and money on, Volusion or Shopify? I’d go with Shopify.

Running a large business with multiple divisions and/or serving markets in several countries? Shopify is ideal in this context too.

Volusion only starts to emerge somewhat as a viable option when your business lies somewhere in the middle of these two extremes.

Even then, Volusion mostly falls short of Shopify’s affordability, scalability, expansive capabilities, greater flexibility and more granular features. Volusion is especially weighed down by limits on the number of products and on gross merchant value (GMV) imposed on each plan.

I explain these and the other reasons for choosing Shopify further down but here’s a brief snapshot of the main things I liked or didn’t like about either platform.

As I remind any vendor I work with, there are other costs to think about too.

For instance, you need to account for production fees, shipping costs, the subscription price for your ecommerce platform, and even whether you want to pay for $29 per month for Printify Premium.
