Choose Magento when catalog/B2B complexity and control outweigh SaaS simplicity — and you have budget for hosting and a competent integrator. Consider WooCommerce for WordPress-native open-source SMB stacks; Shopify/BigCommerce for hosted SaaS; Wix/Squarespace for website-first light commerce. Scores reflect first-party documentation as of 2026-08-17 — not hands-on product testing. Confirm current packaging, minimums and usage rates on the vendor site before purchase.
Bottom line
Open Source: free license + hosting/dev TCO. Adobe Commerce: custom GMV quote (partner estimates often from ~$22k/year). Confirm with Adobe or a certified partner — no SoftwareGlimpse invented list price.
