Shopify vs WooCommerce: Which E-Commerce Platform Is Right?

A detailed comparison from a developer who builds on both platforms.

Shopify: E-Commerce First

Purpose-built for selling online. Everything optimized for e-commerce. Best for product-focused businesses, dropshipping, multi-channel selling, and stores wanting a managed solution. True cost: $39-399/month + 2.4-2.9% transaction fees + paid apps.

WooCommerce: Content + Commerce

Ideal when your site needs both content and commerce. Full WordPress power plus e-commerce. Best for content-heavy businesses, service+product hybrids, businesses wanting complete ownership. True cost: $25-100/month hosting + free plugin + optional premium extensions.
