Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
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
KORONA POS
- Inventory counts and stock management require the $79 Retail plan, so the $59 Core plan is checkout without stock control
- Five separate modules are charged on top of the plan, at $10 per terminal for food service, $10 per terminal for invoicing, $50 per gate for ticketing, $30 per franchise and $45 per token for custom API integrations
- Integration pricing is per token rather than per account, so several integrations multiply the cost
- Advanced stock management and movement reporting require the $99 Plus plan
