Where each one falls short

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

ERPNext

  • The software is AGPL-3.0 licensed, which imposes source disclosure obligations on anyone distributing a modified network service built on it
  • Managed hosting is priced per site and per server rather than per user, so a small team running several sites pays more than a large team on one
  • Dedicated server isolation and stronger reliability guarantees start at $125 a month
  • Self hosting is free but places upgrades, backups and availability entirely on the operator

Sellbrite

  • Free plan limited to 30 orders per month
  • Free plan has 2-hour synchronisation delay; paid plans sync every 15 minutes
  • Free plan lacks core features: no listings manager, no multi-warehouse support, no shipping integrations, no chat support
  • Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) integration unavailable on free tier and requires additional $19/month fee on paid plans
  • Free plan support is email-only; chat support available only on Pro plans during business hours (7am-4pm PT)
