Sellercloud vs. ChannelAdvisor
Comparison

There are many reasons why businesses seek an alternative to ChannelAdvisor (now known as Rithum). Sellercloud has been the ChannelAdvisor alternative that helps cut costs, increase efficiency, and integrate with the other systems that a business requires to operate.
“We first started with ChannelAdvisor, but as we started to grow, a lot of those functionalities of ChannelAdvisor were just limited.”
- Chris KoCEO and Co-founder, Revive IT

Points to consider

Inventory recalculations

Sellercloud offers a robust inventory management system that provides updates on inventory levels, automatically recalculates available inventory and sends it across multiple channels and warehouses. In contrast, ChannelAdvisor only forwards inventory feeds from outside sources.

Multi-warehouse support

Sellercloud allows sellers to track their inventory across multiple warehouses, set reorder points, and automatically replenish stock. ChannelAdvisor does not support managing inventory across multiple warehouses or locations.

Customizations

Sellercloud is highly customizable, allowing sellers to tailor the platform to their unique needs and requirements. This flexibility means that sellers can create a personalized workflow that fits their business rather than having to adapt their operations to fit the limitations of the platform. ChannelAdvisor has very limited functionality in terms of custom modifications to the system, limiting sellers by removing the ability to optimize their workflow.

Shipping software included

Sellercloud includes a shipping app that comes with your Sellercloud account free of charge. ChannelAdvisor does not include any built-in shipping software, such as the ability to generate shipping labels or track shipments. Users must use third-party shipping software to manage their shipping needs.

Exceptional customer support

Sellercloud is recognized for its exceptional customer support. The platform offers a dedicated support representative to help sellers with any issues or questions they may have. ChannelAdvisor is known to have poor customer support and slow response times. Users may have difficulty getting the help they need when issues arise.

Implementation

ChannelAdvisor requires users to pay for implementation services, such as training or setup assistance, in addition to the cost of the platform itself. In contrast, Sellercloud offers all of these services for free to all of its clients.

Warehouse management system 

ChannelAdvisor does not provide any warehouse management system (WMS) functionality, such as the ability to manage inventory movements, optimize warehouse layout, or track and manage inventory across multiple locations, while Sellercloud has all these functionalities.

Annual billing

Unlike Sellercloud, ChannelAdvisor requires users to pay for their subscription on an annual basis rather than on a monthly or per-use basis. This can be a disadvantage for businesses that prefer more flexible payment options.
