→ Verdict
ShopRenter wins for Hungary-first SMBs doing under 20M Ft / month · lower monthly fee, native HUF + SimplePay, good HU SaaS UX. Shopify wins the moment you cross borders or outgrow the template ecosystem · unmatched ecosystem, but the monthly cost compounds fast once you add 3-4 apps.

Factors to weigh
Factor-by-factor
| Factors to weigh | ShopRenter | Shopify |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly base fee | ~12-35k Ft (plan-dependent) | ~€39-399 + 3rd-party apps |
| HUF + Hungarian tax | Native, audit-ready | Workarounds; requires accounting-side bridging |
| SimplePay (OTP) integration | Default, one-click | Via 3rd-party app, slower |
| Delivery (Foxpost / GLS / Posta Pont) | Native, widely-documented | 3rd-party apps, less mature |
| Custom design ceiling | High (custom theme available) | Very high (Hydrogen / headless) |
| App ecosystem | Limited (Hungary-focused) | Huge (1k+ apps, most sub-$30/mo) |
| We recommend | Hungary-first SMBs < 20M Ft / month | Cross-border / scale / tech-heavy teams |
