Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

ApparelMagic

  • User count limits by tier: Professional plan limited to 3 users, Enterprise to 5 users
  • Integration limits: Professional plan supports only 3 integrations, Enterprise 5, Ultimate unlimited
  • Warehouse limits: Professional supports 3, Enterprise 5, Ultimate unlimited
  • B2B store access limited: Professional plan restricted to 1 store, Enterprise 3, Ultimate unlimited
  • Additional cost for sales representatives at $40-50 per month

Loop Returns

  • Both paid plans publish a starting price only, at $155 and $340 a month, with no stated return volume included
  • Because neither the included volume nor the overage rate is published, the cost of a busy returns month cannot be worked out in advance
  • Dedicated onboarding and support are tied to 20,000 or more annual orders, so smaller merchants get neither
