WooCommerce vs LentloSites — own the stack, or run the shop?
WooCommerce is free and infinitely flexible; the cost is hosting, plugins and being your own IT department.
WooCommerce (on WordPress) is open source: no platform fee, thousands of plugins, total control. If you have a developer — or enjoy being one — you can build anything, including India-specific flows with the right plugins.
The real cost is operational: hosting (₹200–₹1,000+/month for something reliable in India), a theme, premium plugins for GST invoices/COD fees/courier integrations, security hardening, backups, PHP/plugin updates, and the occasional 3 am 'site is down'. Speed depends entirely on your hosting and plugin discipline.
LentloSites is the hosted alternative: nothing to install or update, backups every 30 minutes to two clouds, static pages on a CDN, and the India stack (UPI/COD/partial COD, GST invoices, WhatsApp, courier aggregators) built in — ₹0 fixed to start.

Other comparisons
LentloSites vs Shopify
Shopify is the global standard. The question is what an Indian shop pays for it — and which India-first pieces it still needs apps for.
LentloSites vs StoreHippo
StoreHippo is built for large, multi-vendor and B2B stores; most Indian SMEs need a fraction of that at a fraction of the price.
LentloSites vs Hostinger Website Builder
Hostinger's headline price is low because it's a long-term promo; the India commerce stack is where the comparison really lives.
LentloSites vs Wix
Wix is a superb general-purpose website builder. India-specific commerce is where the fit differs.
