Shopify alternative: Sellavi vs Shopify
A hosted store with a published price, a 14-day trial that does not ask for a card, and payments, logistics and marketing already in the admin — not assembled from the app store.
What “Shopify alternative” means here
Merchants type Shopify alternative when they want a hosted store without assembling a stack of apps first. This page compares Sellavi with Shopify on four things you can verify: the published plan price, the trial, what is built in, and whether the admin speaks the language of Sellavi’s live countries.
English results for this query often feature BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Wix, Hostinger and newer AI store builders. Those are other products. The table below is Sellavi versus Shopify only — no invented Shopify list prices.
Price and trial
Sellavi’s international plans on the prices page are $24 when billed yearly and Plus $199. The trial is 14 days and does not require a credit card. Shopify publishes its own plans and trial rules; this page does not restate them.
Built-in tools versus the app stack
On Sellavi, payments, logistics and marketing live in the same admin as the catalogue. On Shopify, many stores add those jobs through the app store. That is a real difference in how the shop is run, not a claim about Shopify’s feature list.
Languages in live countries
Sellavi publishes country editions for Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the UAE, plus an international English edition. Each edition uses the local language of that site.

A published price, not an app tally
The international card is $24 when billed yearly, or Plus $199. That is what /prices shows — this page does not add extra Sellavi figures.
14 days, no credit card
Open the admin, add products and take a test payment. You are not asked for a card to start the trial.
Payments, logistics and marketing included
Shopify’s strength is the app store. Sellavi’s strength is one admin: payments, couriers and marketing sit next to the catalogue.
