Is BigCommerce Analytics free?
The built-in report suite is included with BigCommerce. Ecommerce Insights is a paid add-on. The last confirmed start was $49/mo, depending on the BigCommerce plan (rechecked October 2026). CostRadar is a separate product, with its own free plan and paid plans.
How does CostRadar connect to BigCommerce?
You connect the store inside CostRadar. The app is not listed in the BigCommerce App Marketplace yet. Billing is a card charge, the same way Amazon and WooCommerce merchants pay.
Why use CostRadar if I already have BigCommerce reports?
Native reports help you merchandise one BigCommerce store. CostRadar answers profit after product cost, shipping, fees, and ads, and puts Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce, Allegro, and eBay in the same view when you sell on more than one channel.
