Shopify looks cheap at $39/month. Until you add transaction fees, paid apps, and limited staff accounts. We compared every dollar for a typical global small business doing $18k/month.
Both platforms advertise low entry prices. The difference is what happens when you grow. eiriQ gives you yearly billing at 25% off automatically. No hidden user limits. All plans include unmetered products.
If you use any payment provider other than Shopify Payments — Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay via third-party — Shopify charges an extra fee on top. eiriQ charges 0% on any gateway per https://eiriq.com/plans-and-prices
You keep your Stripe/PayPal rates. eiriQ doesn't add anything. Sell $1 or $100k — same $0 platform commission.
On Shopify, every growth feature is a paid app. On eiriQ, they're built-in, maintained, and supported. No app conflicts, no extra bills. Based on actual pricing at eiriq.com/plans-and-prices: 0% fee on all plans.
Same turnover, 95% lower platform cost. That $8,103 saving covers a part-time hire, 6 months of Meta ads, or your entire stock replenishment. This is why 3,000+ global shops switched in 2025.
Shopify charges you for growing. eiriQ rewards you. With 0% commission, all premium apps included, unlimited staff, and global pricing from $14.99/mo yearly — you get enterprise features at small business prices. Source: eiriq.com/plans-and-prices
