PLATFORM COMPARISON

JustSell vs WooCommerce

JustSell and WooCommerce both power online stores, but take different approaches. WooCommerce is a flexible, self-hosted WordPress plugin you assemble and maintain yourself, while JustSell is a fully hosted platform combining B2C retail with native B2B wholesale, EPOS, rental and appointments, with 0% commission and no plugins to manage. JustSell suits multi-channel and trade businesses that want it built in; WooCommerce suits developer-led, WordPress-based builds.

COST COMPARISON

What you would actually pay

WooCommerce has no plans to choose from — the plugin is free and the bill is hosting plus the extensions you need. Add up a real Woo store here, and put it next to the JustSell plan you pick.

WooCommerce itself is free

The core plugin costs nothing and takes 0% of your sales. What you pay for is the hosting it runs on and each extension you add.

Your business

Orders per month

Average order value (£)

Your hosting (£ per month)

WooCommerce puts most stores at $25–$350 a month (about £19–£259). It opens on the low end — put your own figure in. JustSell hosting is included.

Developer or agency retainer (£ per month)

Updates, plugin conflicts, security and backups are yours to handle on a self-hosted store. WooCommerce publishes no figure for this, so it starts at £0 — put in what you pay, or leave it at zero if you do the work yourself.

Neither platform takes a cut of your sales, so the difference here is what you pay to run the shop, not what it skims off the top.

At this setup

WooCommerce is £465/month cheaper

On entry hosting with few extensions, Woo is hard to beat on subscription cost alone. What it does not include is the hosting, updates, security and plugin maintenance you take on — the table below shows where that lands.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about how JustSell compares with WooCommerce.

For wholesalers, JustSell is generally the stronger fit because B2B ordering, customer-specific pricing, quick-order pads and credit accounts are built in. On WooCommerce, wholesale usually depends on paid extensions such as Wholesale Suite, which you then have to configure and maintain yourself.

WooCommerce can support B2B wholesale, but only by adding third-party extensions for customer-specific pricing, trade accounts and bulk ordering. JustSell includes this functionality natively, so there are no extra plugins to buy, configure or keep updated.

Yes. JustSell is fully hosted with guided, no-code setup and white-glove onboarding. WooCommerce is a self-hosted WordPress plugin, so you are responsible for hosting, installation, security, updates and choosing/configuring the right extensions.

No. JustSell is a fully hosted SaaS platform, so hosting, performance, security and maintenance are handled for you. WooCommerce is self-hosted, meaning you arrange and manage your own hosting, SSL and backups.

Yes. JustSell is built in the UK with GBP pricing, UK payment gateways and UK-based onboarding, and it combines retail, wholesale, EPOS, rental and appointments in one hosted platform, without the technical overhead of running WooCommerce yourself.

Yes. JustSell offers guided migration and white-glove setup, including importing your products, customers and orders, rebuilding your storefront and configuring the channels you need, so you can move off self-hosted WooCommerce with minimal disruption.
