SaaStr's post-mortem has BigCommerce, now Commerce.com, trading at roughly $200M, under 1x ARR (SaaStr). The revenue gap with Shopify went from 19x in 2020 to about 44x on this year's guidance, with BigCommerce growth running 36%, 44%, 27%, 11%, 7%, 3% and now negative while Shopify held 26 to 30% at $11B+. The decision SaaStr isolates is pricing: Shopify earns more as a merchant's GMV grows, BigCommerce earns the same at $1M or $50M. Same argument now hitting every AI-era renewal.
