Veeqo Vs. ChannelGrabber

To begin with, Veeqo is more cost effective than ChannelGrabber, whose pricing plan is actually pretty complicated to figure out, wheras Veeqo’s is much simpler and straightforward. This alone could help you decide as you might not be quite sure what you’re paying for with ChannelGrabber with its random one-off payments and grouping systems. Veeqo is also cloud-based, so you can access it from any device with an internet connection, whereas ChannelGrabber isn’t, so you can only access it from a device on which it is installed. ChannelGrabber offers more webstore integrations than Veeqo, but Veeqo does offer the most popular sales channels. ChannelGrabber also offers more courier integration, but again, not the most popular ones - e.g FedEx and MyHermes. Veeqo offers a free trial, but ChannelGrabber doesn’t - you’d have to pay the setup fee and the first month, which would be a headache if you decided you didn’t like the system. You are offered a free barcode scanner with some of Veeqo’s pricing plans, but not with ChannelGrabber. ChannelGrabber also lacks the purchase order and supplier element that Veeqo offers.
