Frequently Asked Questions

Is LaunchStore a good BigCommerce alternative?

Yes. LaunchStore is an all-in-one ecommerce platform with no revenue-based plan upgrades. Unlike BigCommerce, which forces you to upgrade from Standard ($39/mo) once your store hits $50k in annual sales, LaunchStore lets you sell unlimited volume at any plan tier.

Why does BigCommerce charge more as my revenue grows?

BigCommerce uses revenue caps on their lower plans: Standard allows up to $50k annual sales, Plus up to $180k, and Pro up to $400k. When you exceed these limits, BigCommerce automatically upgrades you to the next plan at 2–10× the cost. LaunchStore has no revenue limits at any tier.

Does LaunchStore include email marketing like BigCommerce does not?

Yes. LaunchStore includes full email marketing automation, campaigns, and segmentation built-in. BigCommerce does not include email marketing — you need to integrate Klaviyo, Mailchimp, or another third-party tool at extra cost.

Does LaunchStore have a built-in page builder?

Yes. LaunchStore includes a full visual drag-and-drop page builder for custom pages, landing pages, and homepage layouts. BigCommerce includes a basic "Page Builder" feature, but most merchants need third-party tools for advanced layouts.

Can I migrate from BigCommerce to LaunchStore?

Yes. You can export your products, customers, and orders from BigCommerce in CSV format and import them into LaunchStore. The process typically takes under an hour for most stores.
