Comparing Unleashed to TradeGecko: FAQs

Which is better for multichannel sales?

There isn’t a lot separating the two on this point, but overall we think Unleashed has the edge. With TradeGecko you can only integrate one sales channel on Lite, two on Small Business and three on Business.

Unleashed has carefully selected sales channel apps to integrate with, and built robust and deep integrations which are actively updated and managed to ensure a great experience. Charges apply should you wish to integrate with Shopify and Amazon, otherwise all other integrations are unlimited.

Otherwise, it all depends on where you sell. TradeGecko includes a direct integration with Woo Commerce, while with Unleashed you can connect to it using a third-party integrator. But Unleashed has one with Vend, which is missing with TradeGecko.

Which solution works out cheaper?

It depends, mostly on how many users you’ll need and which features you want to access. Unleashed doesn’t gate features based on your plan — the difference between our subscriptions is the number of users and API calls included. TradeGecko, meanwhile, offered tiered plans with different functionality available on each.

SMALL BUSINESSES

Unleashed is designed for medium to large product businesses, so we don’t offer plans for small companies.

MEDIUM BUSINESSES

An Unleashed Medium plan costs from

$299

£189

$259

per month. It comes with three users and all of Unleashed’s functionality. Extra users cost from

$99

£59

.

Trade Gecko’s Small Business plan was

$319

£169

per month. It came with five users but didn’t include some core features: including API access or the Fulfilled by Amazon integration. TradeGecko didn’t quote a price for adding users.

LARGE BUSINESSES

If you need eight or more users, Unleashed is the better value option. Our Large plan costs from

$579

£349

$499

per month, whereas TradeGecko’s equivalent ‘Business’ plan was

$939

£459

. Both include eight users and all core functionality.

Does TradeGecko or Unleashed have more features?

Unleashed Software vs Dear - Features

Unleashed offers more features in some areas — such as advanced manufacturing, shipping and business intelligence functionality — whereas TradeGecko has many integrations. You can see a complete breakdown of Unleashed’s features here, and TradeGecko’s equivalent page here.

Perhaps more important than current functionality, though, is how quickly each provider develops new functionality for their system. Here’s a complete timeline of how Unleashed has grown over time.

Hear from other businesses

"We use the Business Intelligence module to get a better picture of what people are buying, what they’re not buying and how we can better serve them."

Ryan Bamford Traders Warehouse, UK

"We needed to capture the cost of batch production with fluctuation of raw materials."

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that we’re probably 40% more efficient now.

Nadia Magney Botanica, AU

"Since implementing Unleashed, it’s given us gained clarity of our position, which has allowed us to grow about 35% year on year for the last six years"
