Consigna vs renting the software.
Consignment and resale shop software with penny-exact splits, payouts and a read-only consignor portal.
Competitor prices on this page read on 2026-09-03, each row dated, each one read on the vendor's own page and linked in Sources.
The subscription math.
1 month of SimpleConsign costs what Consigna costs once.
The fine print
How their pricing grows. SimpleConsign's discounted launch price expires automatically once a store reaches $50,000 in tracked sales, after which standard tier pricing applies.
“Intro rate for 6 months or your first $50K in sales — whichever comes first.” Read 2026-08-11.
Who should stay with SimpleConsign. If you need built-in payment processing that transmits payouts directly, stay where you are - Consigna does not do that; payouts are recorded, not transmitted.
How we counted. Professional has a $99/mo 6-month intro and Vendor Mall Plus a $199/mo intro - regular prices are cited only.
1 month of ConsignCloud costs what Consigna costs once.
The fine print
How their pricing grows. ConsignCloud's Pro plan charges per store location, up to three locations, before requiring a custom Enterprise plan.
“Up to 3 Locations ($189 per location)” Read 2026-08-11.
Who should stay with ConsignCloud. If you need card payments at the counter, a Shopify sync or ACH payouts, stay with ConsignCloud — Consigna records sales and payouts and moves no money. The consignor portal is included in Consigna: a read-only link per consignor with a yearly PDF statement, and a note by email when an item sells or a payout is recorded.
How we counted. The lowest verified consignment-SaaS tier. Re-read 2026-09-07, unchanged, and the page states its own billing basis in one line - 'Simple monthly pricing with no hidden fees or long-term contracts. Cancel anytime.' - so there is no annual option to walk and no discount to find.
Work out your own numbers.
The rented figures use the cited plan price above; per-seat plans scale by the seat count from that same cited price. This is arithmetic, not a quote.
Why owning beats renting here.
No per-month, per-seat or per-location fees: the license does not expire.
Your data sits on a server you choose; customer records are not held in a vendor's cloud unless you put them there.
Records, users and usage are limited by your hosting, not by a pricing tier.
It keeps working if the vendor doesn't: no one can switch your copy off, and keeping it up to date is in your hands.
The fair trade-offs: you host it, you back it up, and updates are yours to apply. The product page lists what Consigna deliberately doesn't do.
