Sellbrite** - The default starting point for a small-to-midsize retail shop. Centralizes listings, inventory sync, and orders across Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Etsy, and Shopify. It's owned by GoDaddy, has a free tier for low order volumes, and the learning curve is short. Start here unless you have a reason not to.\n\n**2. Linnworks** - The step up when inventory accuracy and automation matter more than price. 100+ channel connections, plus real warehouse/pick-pack-ship workflow and rules-based automation. This is where most shops land once they outgrow Sellbrite and are managing real stock depth across several marketplaces.\n\n**3. ChannelEngine** - Best if marketplace *breadth* is the goal, especially European and regional marketplaces beyond the US big four. Strong product-data syndication, pricing and promotion rules, repricing. Built for catalogs in the thousands of SKUs.\n\n**4. Rithum (formerly ChannelAdvisor)** - Enterprise-grade, and priced like it. Worth it when you need listings, inventory, orders, *and* marketplace advertising in one system with account management support.
