Choose Glew on BigCommerce when you want a 250-KPI report cloud: Glew Pro is listed at $250 per month with annual prepayment (glew.io/pricing, checked 28 October 2026). Choose CostRadar when you want the profit you kept after product cost, fees, shipping, ads, and apps, with a BigCommerce store next to your other channels (free for 100 orders a month, then $29.99 per store per month with unlimited orders).
On 10 March 2026 Everest Group announced that it had acquired Glew.io (EIN Presswire). On 28 October 2026 glew.io/pricing still listed Glew Pro at $250 per month with annual prepayment. The Shopify App Store page said the app is not currently available. This page stays on BigCommerce. The all-platform comparison is linked below.

Glew Pro is $250/mo with annual prepayment (250+ KPIs). Plus is custom. CostRadar Advanced is $29.99/mo with unlimited orders and true net profit across every channel.

When Glew is a better fit
- 250+ metrics and ready-made commerce dashboards on Pro. CostRadar does not try to be that report library.
- Customer groups that sync to Klaviyo and Mailchimp.
- Many storefronts: BigCommerce, Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, and others.
When CostRadar is a better fit
- Free for 100 orders a month. Glew’s site does not list a free plan.
- Advanced is $29.99/mo and Premium is $49.99/mo. Glew Pro is $250/mo with yearly prepay; Plus is a custom quote.
- App bills, budgets, and a warning when spending drifts. You confirm before a cost that is no longer worth it gets ended.
- On Premium, tips on where you can save. Customer groups are by profit. CostRadar does not send email.
- Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Allegro, and eBay in one account. Plugin bills you import from WooCommerce or BigCommerce sit in that view.
- Ask ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor about your numbers from Advanced.
How do I connect BigCommerce to CostRadar vs Glew?
In CostRadar you connect the BigCommerce store directly. The app is not in the BigCommerce App Marketplace yet. Billing is the same card checkout as Amazon and WooCommerce. Glew is usually installed from that marketplace, or through their own setup.
How much does Glew cost compared to CostRadar?
Glew Pro is $250/mo with annual prepayment (glew.io/pricing, checked 28 October 2026). The BigCommerce Marketplace listing matched $250/mo when checked 22 October 2026. Plus is a custom quote. CostRadar Free is $0 for 100 orders a month. Advanced is $29.99 per store per month with unlimited orders.
Is Glew better for multi-channel reports than CostRadar?
For a large report library, customer groups sent to email tools, and a data warehouse on Plus, yes. CostRadar is the profit you kept after product cost, fees, and ads, across Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Allegro, and eBay.
Does CostRadar offer 250+ commerce metrics like Glew?
No. That library is Glew’s strength. Their pricing page still says 250+ metrics. CostRadar stays on profit, savings tips, and a question about your own numbers. Pick Glew for the report cloud. Pick CostRadar for order-level profit.
Will CostRadar ship Looker, BI Tunnel, or a managed warehouse like Glew Plus?
No. CostRadar tracks true net profit. It is not a commerce data cloud. For a warehouse or Looker, use your own BI plus MCP, the REST API, and Zapier. CostRadar does not include Looker, a BI tunnel, or a managed warehouse.
Does CostRadar have an Email Performance tab or in-app ESP like Glew?
No, by design. Campaigns and flows stay in Klaviyo or Mailchimp. CostRadar does not build an Email Performance module. Meta Custom Audience sync and Klaviyo/Mailchimp hashed list push are live; that is ESP list membership only, not marketing cost sync and not an in-app ESP.
