The Verdict
Sellfy is built for creators and artists, with a focus on digital-products and subscriptions. Shopify targets ecommerce and dtc brands and leads with online-store and payments.
On pricing, Sellfy is the clear winner for budget-conscious users — starting at $29/mo compared to $39/mo for Shopify. That $10/mo difference adds up quickly for growing teams.
Neither tool offers a free plan, so factor the subscription cost into your decision from the start.
Bottom line: Shopify has a slight overall edge — but if no transaction fees matters most to you, Sellfy may still be the right call.
