Salestio delivers a store-native experience for Amazon, eBay, and Etsy across Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Shopware, and PrestaShop.

Side-by-Side Deep Dive
Detailed comparison of key business factors
Pricing & Cost Structure
Order‑Based Multi-Marketplace Pricing
One predictable monthly tier covers Amazon, eBay, AND Etsy, billed by the number of marketplace orders imported each period — Starter $29, Growth $79, Scale $199, Ultimate $299, plus Custom.
Discontinued eBay-Only Pricing
inkFrog's low-cost eBay-only tiers are no longer available following the June 1, 2026 shutdown.
Integration & Setup Speed
Store‑Native, Multi-Marketplace Fast Go‑Live
Connect Amazon, eBay, and Etsy accounts once, map fields, and start syncing in days inside your store admin across Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Shopware, and PrestaShop.
Formerly Quick eBay-Only Setup
inkFrog was fast to set up for eBay, but the service is no longer available and required separate tools for Amazon or Etsy.
Support & Customer Success
Hands‑On, Responsive Support
Direct access to a team that prioritizes SMB outcomes — onboarding help, migration guidance, mapping, and configuration checks across all marketplaces.
No Longer Available
inkFrog support ended with the shutdown; former users need a new, supported platform.
Scale & Multi-Marketplace Growth
Multi-Marketplace from Day One
Built for growth across Amazon, eBay, and Etsy, reducing learning curves and tool sprawl as you expand.
eBay-Focused, Now Discontinued
inkFrog excelled at eBay-only operations, but the platform has shut down and is no longer an option.
