The short version

  • Only Big Cartel has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Big Cartel custom domain support is not included on the free Gold plan; it is listed as a Platinum-tier feature; NCR Voyix pricing is negotiated and unpublished, so there is no way to sanity check a quote against a list price, and comparison against competitors requires running a full procurement rather than reading two pricing pages.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Big Cartel

  • Custom domain support is not included on the free Gold plan; it is listed as a Platinum-tier feature
  • Abandoned cart recovery, product drop scheduling and Zapier integration are restricted to the top Diamond tier at $30/month
  • Platinum's paid billing starts automatically after a 7-day free trial rather than requiring an active opt-in to convert

NCR Voyix

  • Pricing is negotiated and unpublished, so there is no way to sanity check a quote against a list price, and comparison against competitors requires running a full procurement rather than reading two pricing pages.
  • Contracts run for years and include hardware, so the commitment is capital as well as subscription, and a refresh cycle you fund is built into the relationship from the start.
  • Implementation requires professional services or a partner, so the true first year cost is a multiple of the software line and the go-live date depends on a third party's delivery schedule rather than your own team.
  • The system becomes entangled with payments, loyalty, kitchen and back office integrations, so replacing it later is a multi-year programme and the switching cost grows every year you stay.
  • NCR has been through a corporate split and subsequent divestitures, so product line ownership, roadmap and support responsibility have moved before and could move again during a long contract term.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Big Cartel: How much does Big Cartel cost?

Big Cartel offers a free Gold plan with limited features. Paid plans start at $15 per month for Platinum and $30 per month for Diamond. Both paid plans include a 7-day free trial and have no commitment.

Source
NCR Voyix: Is this an e-commerce platform?

No. It runs stores and restaurants. If you need an online storefront you are buying that separately and integrating it.

Big Cartel: What features does the Diamond plan add?

The Diamond plan at $30 per month adds abandoned cart recovery, product drop scheduling, password-protected products, Zapier integration with 7,000+ apps, and priority human support compared to Platinum.

Source
NCR Voyix: What does it cost?

Nothing is published. Pricing is negotiated per deal and includes hardware and implementation, so budget for a first year total well above the software subscription.

Big Cartel: Can I cancel Big Cartel anytime?

Yes, Big Cartel explicitly offers no commitment and allows cancellation anytime on paid tiers.

Source
NCR Voyix: Who is it actually for?

Multi-site chains. An independent restaurant or single shop is not the buyer and will get better economics from a self-serve POS.

NCR Voyix: What should I ask during negotiation?

Get the roadmap and support ownership for your specific product line in writing, given the corporate restructuring, and get the exit terms and data extraction rights defined before signature.
