Makeswift scraps standalone pricing, ties new tiers to BigCommerce plans
What happened
Between the Sep 14, 2026 and Sep 21, 2026 captures of Makeswift's pricing page, Pulse recorded 5 changes: Makeswift is no longer sold standalone at published flat rates: the new Growth and Scale tiers are priced on top of the customer's BigCommerce plan (Growth 'Free, plus your BigCommerce plan'; Scale '$59/month, plus your BigCommerce plan'), replacing the old $0/$79/$299/Custom ladder. A 'With BigCommerce' / 'Makeswift Only' toggle now splits pricing into two tracks; Free, Starter ($79), Team ($299. In detail: Free, Starter ($79), Team ($299), and Enterprise plans discontinued — the entire previous four-tier lineup was retired; Monthly publish caps (5/20/50) and member caps (3/3/5/10+) removed in favor of Unlimited Publishes and Unlimited Users across all visible plans; Sites limit now tied to BigCommerce storefront count; Feature list reworked: Branching, Approval Workflows, and Native Integrations (Smartling, Bynder) removed; Code Snippets & Embeds, Selective Publishing, Public Share Links, and Workspace Files added; New three-tier lineup introduced: Growth (free with a BigCommerce plan), Scale ($59/month plus BigCommerce plan), and Performance (contact sales for a custom quote). Pulse files it as a packaging change (package change, plan removed, limit increase, feature change, new plan) with a downward direction. The current page lists Scale at $44.
