Why mid-market Australian businesses choose custom-built over Ecwid.
Custom solutions have no per-user licensing. Whether your team is 5 or 50, the cost stays the same. Scale your business without scaling your software costs.
Ecwid's roadmap serves their shareholders, not your business. A custom e-commerce solution adapts to your strategy — add features, change workflows, or pivot entirely without waiting for a vendor.
Ecwid charges Free plan available; paid from $25/month to $99/month; transaction fees on free plan. A custom solution is a one-time investment — you own it outright with no monthly fees, no per-user charges, and no surprise price increases.
Skip the overseas call centres and chatbot mazes. Our team in Gippsland, Victoria provides direct access to the developers who built your system, not generic support agents.
Ecwid limits integrations to their marketplace. Custom solutions connect directly via API to any tool in your stack — including industry-specific and legacy systems common for Healthcare & Allied Health.
We handle every aspect of the transition — data migration, team training, and parallel running — so there is zero operational disruption. Most migrations complete within 2-4 weeks.
Per-user and tier-based pricing penalises business growth on Ecwid
Custom solutions integrate seamlessly with every tool in your stack, not just Ecwid's approved partners
Ecwid's product roadmap prioritises their largest customers, not mid-market Australian businesses
Feature restrictions on Ecwid's lower tiers force expensive plan upgrades as your needs grow
Your data inside Ecwid is subject to their terms, their pricing, and their continued existence
Your business processes in Healthcare & Allied Health are unique — Ecwid's generic features cannot fully accommodate them
