Title	Adobe Commerce	BigCommerce
Ownership and Licensing	Ownership and Licensing: Adobe Commerce is a self-hosted platform that requires hosting and maintenance by the user or their chosen hosting provider. It offers both a free open-source version (formerly known as Magento Open Source) and a paid enterprise version (formerly known as Magento Commerce).	BigCommerce is a fully hosted platform, meaning that hosting and server management are handled by BigCommerce, and users pay a subscription fee to access the platform.
Customization and Flexibility	Adobe Commerce, especially the open-source version, offers extensive customization options, allowing users to modify and tailor their online stores to meet specific business needs. It provides access to the platform’s source code, allowing for deep customization and integration with third-party extensions.	BigCommerce, while also customizable, has certain limitations compared to Adobe Commerce, as it does not provide access to the source code
Scalability and Enterprise Features	Adobe Commerce is often favored by larger enterprises due to its robust scalability and advanced enterprise features. It offers powerful capabilities for handling large catalogs, complex product configurations, multi-store management, and extensive integrations with enterprise systems	BigCommerce, while suitable for small to medium-sized businesses, may have certain limitations when it comes to handling large-scale enterprise operations.
Pricing and Cost	Adobe Commerce, particularly the enterprise version, tends to have higher pricing compared to BigCommerce. Adobe Commerce’s licensing fees and hosting costs, combined with the need for technical expertise to manage the self-hosted platform, can make it a more costly option.	BigCommerce, being a fully hosted solution, offers pricing plans based on the features and services provided, which can be more cost-effective for businesses that prefer a hosted solution without the need for self-hosting.
Integrations and App Marketplace	Adobe Commerce provide integrations with popular payment gateways, shipping providers, and third-party applications. However, Adobe Commerce has a larger ecosystem of extensions and integrations, thanks to its history as an open-source platform with an active developer community.	BigCommerce also support integrations with popular payment gateways, shipping providers, and third-party applications. It also offers an app marketplace with various integrations and extensions, though it may not have the same depth and breadth as Adobe Commerce.
