Landingi vs. Shopify

Landingi is well suited for someone who needs to put something up in a hurry, who doesn't need to know anything about web development, and for someone who doesn't need to share their pages on Facebook! Ultimately, given its price and feature set, it's more of a tool for solopreneurs or those just starting out. To me, Landingi is quite good as a "bargain" landing page builder, but I would probably recommend anyone who can afford it to choose a more polished builder.

Shopify allowed us to handle matrix items and combined listings. Both of which we could not do on our previous platform. There was some customization involved but overall, it did what we needed it to. The one downside was that if we want to change anything we would have to reload the entire set of matrix items manually.

• Large template library across a wide range of industries.
• Very responsive customer service team.
• The ability to export landing pages directly to Wordpress and to also share with other Landingi accounts.

• It's base security and integration with trusted security partners (such as NoFraud) is a game-changer when it comes to reliability and a "hands off approach" for our IT department. The up-time is also very good.
• It offers a wide range of verified plugins that are (for the most part) easy to install and use for any specific scenario you're looking for.
• It's Analytics area in the admin is actually nice and offers a wide variety of reports that you can run.

• Some powerful features are left out of the Core plan that would be nice to be included (such as custom fonts and icons) - while Landingi needs to have incentives to get users to upgrade plans, it does add to the barrier to entry for smaller businesses who can't afford the larger plans right away.

• I would love it if Shopify built an in house app which helped us post UGCs and social proof from platforms such as Instagram, Youtube etc. more seamlessly on our website. Right now, we are able to do it through third party apps but the look and feel is just okay.

Nothing we have used in the past or have seen thus far even comes close to offering what we get with Shopify Plus, especially for the price. You cannot even come close to getting what we are getting at the price we pay. We are beyond thrilled and Shopify Plus meets and exceeds all of our needs and expectations. We love it!

It is fairly easy to use Shopify regardless of what task you are attempting to perform. Most things are customizable to a degree without requiring coding ability. I have very limited coding experience and have still been able to navigate my way around changing features of the website that require edits to the code with the use of AI and trial-and-error. This previously wasn't possible with the WooCommerce platform.

Shopify website speed is quite impressive. Even if we integrate couple apps, it does not hamper the site speed.

I haven't ever reached out to Landingi support, so I really don't know what their support is like. I just didn't want to give them a lower score since I don't know how good or bad it is. They've created a great product and I haven't had any bugs or issues, and have been able to figure out how to utilize the features I'm interested in by messing around with the interface or looking at their blog posts/updates.

In terms of support I give Shopify a 9 out of 10 because they're always very friendly and thorough, and they personally can't solve my problem for me they always point me in the proper direction with the proper information I need to move forward

Shopify offered us several trainings to setup a Shopify store, how to build a brand, SEO, product photography etc. All this content have been super helpful in our journey.

Landingi is more affordable and overall easier to use than ClickFunnels and, in my opinion, just as effective for most companies. As an agency, we have found great value in using a tool that is more affordable and super-fast. Overall, Landingi allows us to put pages up fast, get leads fast and optimize conversions with a couple of clicks.

Big Commerce and SAP Hybris are two other platforms we've investigated and Shopify is by far easiest to use and customize. While it doesn't do everything out of the box, the apps do fill in many gaps. The cost however, is probably the biggest selling point against these other two options.

Shopify has basic to high-end plans. The plans grow with the brand`s growth and I love that about Shopify.

• Quickly im[roves the number of leads received daily
• We fell more confident about our page designs because they offer the option to built a secondary page deign to be tested (A/B test), so the page that converts better stays.
• Our clients are very happy with the page built with Landingi, as well as the conversion, improving our client retention.

• It got the store up quickly so the client could start selling. She was previously selling products on Etsy and Facebook and wanted to consolidate everything onto one website, so the main thing Shopify solved was to reduce the store owner's time in managing all her products on multiple sites. Also, we had previously built a website on Wix with all the custom functionality and branding she needed - a truly great, high-end website - but it performed so slowly that it was unusable. So the speed at which Shopify can be set up and then works on the page is appreciable.
• The website was manageable by the client - she could figure the system out herself after a while so she saved money on costs for hiring developers. She did have to hire developers to customize some of the plug-ins but costs are all relative; it wasn't a high investment compared to building a full e-commerce website. With the complexity and size of her product base and the functionality and branding she wanted to have in a website, and the potential of her business, she would have needed to invest well over $10,000 to get to where she really needs to be. In the end she kept the budget under $5000.00.
• Costs kept climbing with plug-ins having to be added with everything. My client became more involved in building the website and began to try multiple plugins, and she did not have the skill base to evaluate the plugins functionalities so she chose plugins that did not do everything she needed, and then ended up paying the plugin developers to customize the plugins. So on one hand, it's pretty amazing to be able to bring up an e-commerce website as quickly as a week or so, but on the other hand if you need anything customized or deeper functionality in regards to product searching and filtering on the web page, and management on the backend, it quickly goes beyond the skills of the average person to manage, and above their expected budget as well. In the end my client really did not get anything close to the functionality for the website we had originally envisioned.
• Shopify was the easiest way we could find to bring the client's products to a global market. We evaluated several other platforms and the functionality simple did not seem to be adequate, so Shopify seemed like the only solution that could do enough of what we needed and still stay within this client's budget. Really the problem in this project was not platform per se but that the budget wasn't large enough. Shopify managed to provide a solution for an ecommerce store with thousands of products on a tiny budget, so in the sense of pure functionality it provided the best value of all the platforms we evaluated. The solution still isn't big enough for this client's business though so, without having insights into this client's post-build sales results, my guess is that because her new website did not make her products easier to sort through, and she likely didn't have much more budget left to invest in SEO and other marketing of the website, her sales probably didn't increase substantially as a result of having built the website. So I think this project all in all did not likely have a high ROI.
