Where each one falls short

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

BackToMe

  • The scope is European consumer law. A merchant selling outside the EU has no use for it.
  • The site and dashboard are French. The customer-facing button covers 24 EU languages, but the merchant side is not multilingual.
  • One price, one feature set. There is no tier for a shop that wants only the archive or only the button.
  • It runs as an injected script on the storefront, so a shop with a strict content security policy has an extra step before the button will render.
  • A young French vendor with no independent review coverage, so there is nothing outside the vendor's own material to corroborate the archive's evidentiary weight.

Sellfy

  • Every plan caps annual sales volume: $10k on Starter, $50k on Business and $200k on Premium
  • Exceeding the cap forces a plan upgrade rather than an overage charge, so growth is a step change in cost
  • Maximum file size per digital product is tied to the plan, at 10 GB, 15 GB and 20 GB
  • Email marketing credits are metered per plan, from 2,000 to 50,000
  • Cart abandonment, upselling and the affiliate programme all require the Business plan
  • Payment processing fees from PayPal or Stripe are charged on top of the subscription
