How is this ranking scored?

Each company gets 0 to 3 points on six buyer criteria, read only from its own pages on 2026-11-14. No review-site score, client rating, partner badge or price is used. The five market players publicly sell ecommerce development.

  • 3

    A specific mechanism, for example written acceptance criteria per milestone

  • 2

    A general statement, for example a list of engagement models

  • 1

    Only implied by a separate service, a case study or a marketing line

  • 0

    Not found on the pages checked

The six criteria are: K1 fixed price by milestone with acceptance criteria; K2 model flexibility; K3 AI-native delivery; K4 a store and systems audit or discovery before build; K5 a senior first contact who is accountable; K6 IP and code ownership with no lock-in. A score measures what a company states, not the quality of the stores it builds.

Ties go to the higher K6 score, then the higher K4 score. "Not stated" means the company's own pages did not state it on the access date.

Which kind of ecommerce partner do you need?

A development company is not always the right buy: a small catalogue with standard checkout often runs well on a hosted platform with a theme.

Option Choose it when Do not choose it when
Hosted platform with a theme A small catalogue, standard checkout and no back-office integration Pricing, B2B accounts or fulfilment rules the platform cannot express
Platform-specialist agency You are committed to one platform and need its partner-level expertise The hard work is integration with ERP, PIM or legacy systems
Enterprise commerce consultancy A multi-brand, multi-country programme with content and analytics in scope A mid-size merchant that needs one accountable contact and fixed scope
Custom or headless build partner that also runs the store Integrations, custom checkout or a headless storefront must be built and operated by one team A standard store you will run yourself after launch

When a platform partner tier matters, check it in the platform's own partner directory, not on a ranking page.

How AI agents change this comparison

With AI agents writing much of the code, delivery capability across these companies is getting closer; the difference is how AI-native the approach is. Netbase integrates AI into every service and builds with AI agents under human review, using the commercial and open-source models chosen per project.

Agency pages mix AI sold to the merchant, such as chatbots and recommendations, with AI used in their own delivery; only the second changes how a project is built and reviewed.

On a store build or migration, AI agents can draft data mappings, redirect lists, tests and code reviews. Engineers still own the data model, the payment and tax rules, the cutover plan and the rollback decision.

  • In delivered work

    Product recommendation engine

    Built for 4over4's online printing store from browsing and purchase history; a delivered AI feature, named with a client.

  • Available capability

    AI agents in delivery

    AI-assisted code review and test generation is a capability Netbase offers, not yet tied to a published ecommerce case.

How should you choose an ecommerce development company?

  1. Decide what kind of partner you need

    Use the option table above before you ask for a proposal.

  2. List the systems the store must talk to

    ERP, PIM, payment and shipping integrations decide the partner type.

  3. Ask for the commercial model in writing

    Fixed price by milestone, time and materials or a dedicated team, and who signs off each milestone against which acceptance criteria.

  4. Ask how AI is used in delivery

    Which steps an AI agent does, and which an engineer reviews before release.

  5. Settle ownership and operations

    Who owns the admin, hosting and payment accounts and the repository, and who runs, patches and monitors the store after launch.

How to verify any company on this list?

Apply the same checks to every company here, Netbase JSC included: confirm the wording behind each score on its site; ask for a reference from a store of your size and platform; ask which system owns product, stock and order records; ask what moves in a migration and how every old URL redirects; and confirm code and account ownership in the contract. The same method ranks the WordPress and WooCommerce and web application lists, and the custom ecommerce platform guide covers the build-or-replatform decision.

What delivery record exists, and what does not?

Every market-player fact above comes from that company's own site on 2026-11-14; none is audited. Netbase's ecommerce record is registered work: a Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration for Netztech (case); a headless multi-store reward shop on Magento 2 Open Source with a Next.js front end for a loyalty company whose name is not published (case); and ecommerce integration with ERP that syncs catalogues, inventory, orders and customer data. No launch date, revenue, conversion or speed result is claimed for any company here.

Frequently asked questions

No. Netbase JSC wrote this page and ranks itself first on the published criteria; every fact about another company comes from its own site with an access date so a reader can check it independently.

Netbase JSC states fixed price by default with written acceptance criteria per milestone; Elogic Commerce states fixed-scope projects, Vaimo states fixed-price Work Items and ScienceSoft states fixed price for a clearly defined scope.

Ask before you sign: Netbase JSC states that the client owns the IP created for it, and the other companies ranked here do not state ownership on the ecommerce pages checked.
