Hey everyone, quick question for those who already tested both paths 👀
For a one product page store, which do you think is better in 2026:
1. Shopifyvs2. Claude Code custom-built page (with AI features / custom automations / full code control)
Main things I’m comparing:
- Conversion rate – which sells better?
- Speed / performance
- Best features for one-product brand
- Scalability
- Ease of editing
- Total monthly cost
- Long-term cost
- What ends up costing more over time?
Shopify seems easier + ready to launch fast, but custom Claude Code seems unlimited and maybe cheaper long term.
If you were launching a serious one-product brand today, which would you choose and why? Real experience appreciated 🙏
