Shopify vs. WooCommerce: which one?
There's no single answer. This is the comparison we use to recommend.
| Criteria | Shopify | WooCommerce |
|---|---|---|
| Cost model | Monthly platform subscription, plus apps and fees depending on the plan. | The plugin is free; you pay for hosting, domain, premium plugins and maintenance. |
| Technical maintenance | Shopify manages servers, security and updates. | Requires hosting, updates and backups that someone must manage. |
| Control and customization | High within the Shopify ecosystem; some rules belong to the platform. | Full control of code and data; ideal for very specific flows. |
| Content and SEO | Good for catalog-centric stores. | Very strong when content (blog, guides) is part of the strategy, since it runs on WordPress. |
| Best for | Launching fast with a small team and a standard catalog. | Companies already on WordPress or needing custom business rules. |

Frequently asked questions
How much does building an online store cost?
It depends on scope, integrations and design depth. We work fixed-scope, with a monthly hour bank or as a dedicated team. After a first call we send a proposal with estimated scope, timeline and cost within 48 hours, with no commitment.
What is it like to work with a nearshore team in Colombia?
Medellín is in Colombia's time zone (UTC-5, no daylight saving), so our working day overlaps with US business hours. You get real-time calls, sprint demos and a shared backlog, with an English-speaking point of contact.
How long does it take to launch a store?
A store with a standard catalog is usually ready in 4 to 8 weeks. If it needs ERP or inventory integrations or custom development, the timeline is estimated in the proposal.
Can you migrate my current store?
Yes. We migrate products, customers and orders between platforms and take care of URLs and redirects to protect your Google rankings.
