Pricing
Shopify $29 $79 $299 ALSO Lite = $9
BigCommerce $29 $79 $299

So let’s look at Shopify an dBigCommerce standard/basic
BigCommerce includes native page builder
BigCommerce includes auto currency conversion
BigCommerce includes shipping calculator for 3rd parties
BigCommerce includes ratings and review options without plugins - BUT Shopify has a free app for this
Shopify has no sale limits
Shopify offers abandoned cart recovery
Selling
Shopify = 0% IF you use Shopify Payments otherwise .5%-2%
BigCommerce = always 0%
Shopify Payments is not available everywhere globally
Both work with many channels such as Facebook shops, Instagram, etc.
Dropshipping works very well on either platform. Shopify has more dropshipping related apps, but you don’t necessarily need more apps
Appearance
12 free templates for BigCommerce
9 free templates for Shopify
BigCommerce has a drag and drop page builder interface
Shopify requires expensive paid apps to get the same builder functionality
140 Paid BigCommerce themes
64 Paid Shopify themes
Shopify themes may look a bit nicer
Both Shopify and BigCommerce have app stores, but Shopify’s is bigger
Products
Shopify allows automated collections
BigCommerce has bulk edit options
BigCommerce allows up to 250 product options while Shopify is limited to 3 sets (think size, color, fit, etc.)
BigCommerce easily allows you to customize products (think name on the back of a t-shirt)
BigCommerce supports over 70 types of discounts
Both have easy blog options
Back-End
BigCommerce is great for large teams. Shopify limits you to 1-15 logins (depending on the plan) while BigCommerce allows unlimited staff accounts
Conclusion:
BigCommerce is better for SEO, product options, and value for money
Shopify is better for its many themes, apps, and integrations
