A headless ecommerce setup keeps the storefront separate from the commerce platform behind it. As you compare platforms, consider API protocols and deployment options alongside inventory management, support for multiple stores, and marketplace support. B2B commerce and subscription products may also factor into your plans. Check which options have a free plan and their paid starting price. Medusa, Saleor, and Aimeos lead the ranked entries, followed by Vendure and Spree Commerce. The listed capabilities offer a practical way to compare how each platform may fit the products, sales channels, and store setup you have in mind.
28 headless ecommerce platforms ranked on what their makers publish — plans and prices, free tiers, platforms and the facts on their own pages.
