Which should you choose?

Adobe Commerce (Magento): Enterprise version of Magento with B2B, personalisation and cloud hosting.

Thrive: Direct-ordering platform so restaurants can take commission-free orders.

The best way to decide is to run the same week of real work through both — most offer a free plan or trial — and compare how long tasks take, what your team prefers, and the total cost for your number of users including renewal pricing.
