BigCommerce – SaaS simplicity but limited flexibility

BigCommerce offers enterprise features without server management, but businesses seeking more customization control, open-source flexibility, or lower long-term SaaS costs may find limitations with subscription pricing and backend access.

Advantages of BigCommerce:

  • fully hosted SaaS with automatic updates,
  • native B2B and multi-channel selling capabilities,
  • API-first infrastructure with headless support,
  • integrations with ERP, CRM, POS, and marketplaces.

Disadvantages of BigCommerce:

  • subscription pricing increases as revenue grows,
  • less backend access compared to open-source platforms,
  • customizations often require third-party apps,
  • limited infrastructure control.

PrestaShop – open-source control and lower long-term costs

PrestaShop gives businesses complete code access and self-hosting flexibility while supporting complex e-commerce needs, including international expansion, B2B functionality, and full customization freedom without SaaS licensing costs.

Advantages of PrestaShop:

  • fully open-source with complete code ownership,
  • lower long-term operational costs vs SaaS platforms,
  • multi-language, multi-currency, and B2B support,
  • large module marketplace for feature expansion.

Disadvantages of PrestaShop:

  • self-managed hosting, security, and backups,
  • requires developer involvement for advanced features,
  • more technical management responsibilities compared to SaaS.
