KitCommerce vs Dukaan

Open-source Dukaan alternative: GoCommerce vs Dukaan

Q: What plans does Dukaan have?

Free, Starter, Growth and Infinity. Starter is ₹299, Growth ₹999 and Infinity ₹5,999 a month billed monthly, or ₹2,500, ₹8,000 and ₹50,000 a year billed yearly, and each step up lowers the service fee; the higher plans also allow more stores and staff accounts.

Dukaan is free to start and charges as you sell. GoCommerce run yourself is the other way round.

Dukaan gets a store online from the web or its Android and iOS apps, with a free plan — then takes a service fee of 0.99% to 4.99% of sales, by plan, on top of the payment gateway’s charge. Run GoCommerce and Svelte Commerce yourself and they take nothing per sale, but ask for a server and a developer before the first one. A store hosted on kitcommerce.store pays 1% of every successful order.

Which one fits

Choose Dukaan when

You want to start selling today on a free plan, from your phone, and pay only once sales come in.
Your sales are small, so a few per cent of them costs less than paying someone to run a server.
You want delivery, payments and the store in one place, with no code at all.
You are testing a product idea and may not need a store in six months.

Choose GoCommerce + Svelte Commerce when

Your sales have grown to where Dukaan’s fee is a real line, and a server and a developer would cost less.
You want to change the checkout and the order flow, not only the theme.
You want your store’s data in a database you control, under software with an MIT licence.
You have, or can hire, a developer — the one cost running GoCommerce yourself cannot remove.

What you take on

Run it yourself and you host it: a server, a PostgreSQL database, backups and upgrades are yours, or a developer’s you pay. A store hosted on kitcommerce.store pays 1% of every successful order instead.
No app store. What a module does not cover, somebody writes.
GoCommerce has over 2,000 tests, but no store we know of runs it in production yet.
Svelte Commerce reaches GoCommerce through an early connector, version 0.16.0: catalogue, cart, cash-on-delivery checkout and order lookup work; shopper sign-in, the address book and order history need GoCommerce’s identity module.
No phone app to run the store from — the admin is a web app.
No built-in delivery service: you bring your own Shiprocket, Delhivery or NimbusPost account.
