What you will pay
The subscription alone is not the comparison. A commission on every order, USD pricing, product limits and paid add-ons all change what you pay at the end of the month.

Important notes
- Prices and terms can change. Check each platform's page before deciding.
- A dash (–), "Not published", means the feature did not appear on the platform's public pages as of the update date, not necessarily that it does not exist.
- Shira prices are in new Syrian pounds. Other platforms' figures are copied as they appeared on their pages.
- No commission does not mean no fees at all: external payment and shipping provider fees may apply on any platform, Shira included.
