⚖️ Overall comparison
Shopify Plus is a SaaS platform. It’s designed for medium to big businesses that want to kick off quickly. The platform controls who and what sells with the help of its platform.

Adobe Commerce is a Platform-as-a-Service distributed in two versions: Adobe Commerce and Adobe Commerce Cloud. It doesn’t provide tight restrictions on what types of products you can sell through the platform.

💰 Pricing

The price of Adobe Commerce starts at $22,000 and at $40,000 for the cloud-based edition a year. Adobe calculates the final price based on average gross sales revenue on a project-to-project basis.

Shopify Plus’ price tag starts at $2,000 a month and depends on Gross Merchandise Volume. Shopify also charges a transaction fee.

💯 Multi-store support

Adobe Commerce allows you to manage an unlimited number of storefronts from a single admin panel. You can synchronize inventory between stores, and share product catalogs across different websites, stores, and store views.

Shopify Plus allows you to manage up to 10 clone stores with individual admin panels.

📦 B2B Features

When comparing the two platforms and their B2B capabilities, Adobe Commerce is like a Godzilla while Shopify Plus is a chihuahua.

Shopify Plus is more B2C-heavy. Its B2B functionality will suit eCommerce businesses with very simple requirements. If you work in B2B or across all models at the same time, Adobe Commerce is better suited to support such ambitious companies.

🏷 Product types

Adobe Commerce offers 7 native product types: simple products, configurable products, bundled products, virtual products, downloadable products, grouped products, and gift cards. You can use them as they are, customize them or create your own product types depending on business needs.

Shopify Plus supports the equivalent of simple and configurable products. To achieve the same level of functionality, you would need to use customizations or third-party applications.

⚙ Customizations

Shopify Plus is a SaaS platform. You can have a unique website design, but you don't have full freedom when it comes to customizations. You can add new features with the help of third-party integrations and applications, and customize existing ones a little bit.

The open-source nature of Adobe Commerce opens unlimited possibilities for customizations. You can do anything with the platform, customize it as you like, add new features, change existing ones and create a unique customer experience designed specifically for your business needs.

💻 Hosting & PCI Compliance

Shopify Plus is a hosted solution. You don’t need to set up and manage servers. Shopify does everything for you.

Adobe Commerce Cloud is a hosted solution. Adobe provides hosting with some advanced features, such as auto-scaling to withstand even the highest volumes of traffic during peak eCommerce seasons.

If you decide to choose Shopify Plus or Adobe Commerce Cloud, you won’t need to worry about PCI compliance. The platforms provide it out of the box. With Adobe Commerce on-permit, you need to take care of it yourself.

a little biased... 2 and a half minutes in, and:
- Listed unknown brands using Shopify Plus (which have very big brands using it)
- Listed just big international brands for Adobe
- Told is his clients use Adobe
- And told us "who knows what they will ban next"

I really need an unbiased opinion, since I can't decide. Will look somewhere else ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
