The answer, as recorded

Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd suggest you look at them - the right pick depends mostly on your size and whether you already have a storefront or POS. **1. Shopify Marketplace Connect (formerly Codisto) - start here if you're on Shopify.** Free to install, and the pricing is the most forgiving in the category: your first 50 marketplace-synced orders per month are free, then 1% per synced order capped at $99/month. Pushes your Shopify catalog to Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Etsy and Target Plus, and syncs listings, inventory and orders back. For a shop doing a few hundred marketplace orders a month, nothing else beats the cost/effort ratio. ([codisto.com](https://codisto.com/bigcommercepricing)) **2. Sellbrite - the best cheap standalone option.** Centralizes products, listings, inventory and orders across Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Etsy and Shopify, and its main job is preventing oversell when the same stock sits on four channels. Plans start around $29-49/month with a 30-day trial, and it rates well (4.7/5 on Capterra) with a small-business user base. Good if you *don't* want to make Shopify the hub. ([capterra.com](https://www.capterra.com/p/149384/Sellbrite/), [getonecart.com](https://www.getonecart.com/channeladvisor-alternatives/)) **3. LitCommerce - widest channel list for the money.** ~$29/month, covers 20+ channels including TikTok Shop and Walmart US/Canada, with bulk listing creation and editing. I'd name this over Sellbrite specifically if TikTok Shop or a long tail of niche marketplaces matters to you. ([apps.shopify.com](https://apps.shopify.com/litcommerce)) **4. Sync2Sell - if your source of truth is your in-store POS.** $69/month, 14-day trial. It syncs the POS itself out to eBay, Amazon, Walmart, Etsy and Reverb. This is the one I'd point a brick-and-mortar shop to, because most of the others assume an ecommerce catalog is the master record rather than your register. (The Reverb integration makes it especially good for music/instrument shops.) ([apps.shopify.com](https://apps.shopify.com/sync2sell)) **5. Listing Mirror - if repricing is the pain point.** From $49/month, syncs product data, inventory and orders across Amazon, eBay, Walmart and Shopify, and includes repricing on channels that support it. ([novadata.io](https://novadata.io/resources/best-amazon-seller-tools/listing-mirror)) **6. Cin7 (Core or Omni) - when inventory, not listings, is the real problem.** From about $349/month, plus paid implementation ($750 group / $1,500 personal), and 700+ integrations across channels, warehouses and orders. Worth it once you have multiple stock locations or do any B2B/wholesale alongside retail; overkill otherwise. ([sellercloud.com](https://sellercloud.com/blog/top-5-alternatives-to-rithum-channeladvisor/)) **7. StoreAutomator - the step up for big, messy catalogs.** 300+ channels with real catalog and product-data management, not just a connector. This is the one to look at when you've outgrown Sellbrite but can't stomach enterprise pricing. ([storeautomator.com](https://www.storeautomator.com/blog/top-channeladvisor-alternatives-for-2026)) **8. Linnworks / Rithum (ChannelAdvisor) - only at real scale.** Linnworks starts around $449/month on a quote basis tied to order volume, with no percentage fee, which I prefer. Rithum typically runs $2,000+/month plus a 2-3% revenue share, with mid-market first years landing between $30k and $100k once onboarding is included. For a retail shop that's almost certainly the wrong shape of deal. ([getonecart.com](https://www.getonecart.com/channeladvisor-alternatives/), [sellercloud.com](https://sellercloud.com/blog/top-5-alternatives-to-rithum-channeladvisor/)) One caveat worth flagging: "marketplace management" ranges from thin feed connectors to full order-orchestration platforms, and the cost of switching later is high because catalog and inventory data gets entangled in whatever you pick. If you're under ~500 marketplace orders a month, pick from #1-#5 and don't over-buy.
