“Listed” means the feature appears in SparkLayer’s App Store feature categories but isn’t tied to a plan. “Not listed” means we didn’t find it there.

Where SparkLayer is the better choice

You have a sales team. Reps can place orders and manage accounts from the Sales Rep Portal. BTB has no rep tools.
You need accounting or ERP connections. SparkLayer lists Xero, QuickBooks Online, Cin7 and others, plus API access on Pro.
Quotes need to become orders in one flow. SparkLayer’s quoting converts to orders. BTB’s Quote Form stops at the admin inbox.
Net terms, approvals and invoices in one app. SparkLayer includes them. BTB doesn’t do payment terms or approvals.

Where BTB is the better choice

Flat, low price. BTB is $8.99 or $29 per month, with no tier set by order count. SparkLayer’s paid plans start at $49/mo for up to 50 B2B orders a month.
Storefront tools on your retail store. BTB targets buyers by customer tag on your normal storefront. MOQs are enforced on product, collection, search and cart pages, and order limits tell buyers in the cart how much more they need.
Price gating. Store Lock hides prices, or prices and Add to Cart, until a guest logs in or enters a passcode.
Checkout rules without code. Hide, rename or reorder shipping and payment methods by customer tag or cart.

Switching from SparkLayer to BTB

Check which SparkLayer features you rely on. If it’s sales reps, integrations or net terms, keep SparkLayer or move net terms to native Shopify B2B first.
Install BTB with the 7-day trial and create Wholesale Pricing rules for your wholesale customer tag, or target Shopify B2B companies directly.
Add MOQ and Order Limits, then add the Quick Order Form and Quote Form blocks to your theme.
Test as a tagged customer, then turn off SparkLayer’s pricing before you uninstall it.

FAQ

SparkLayer vs. BTB — common questions

How much does SparkLayer cost?

As of September 2026, SparkLayer's Shopify App Store listing shows a free Basic plan (up to 3 price lists and 5 orders per month), Starter at $49/month (up to 50 orders per month), Growth at $149/month (up to 100 orders per month) and Pro at $299/month (up to 150 orders per month). Paid plans have a 14-day free trial.

What is a cheaper alternative to SparkLayer?

If you don't need sales reps, accounting integrations or net terms inside your wholesale app, BTB covers wholesale pricing, volume discounts, MOQs, order limits and a quick order form for $8.99/month, and adds a Quote Form and Store Lock on the $29/month Advanced plan. BTB's plans are flat monthly prices rather than tiers by order count.

Does BTB have a sales rep portal like SparkLayer?

No. BTB doesn't include sales-rep tools. If reps place orders on behalf of accounts, SparkLayer is built for that and includes a Sales Rep Portal on every paid plan.

Does BTB's Quote Form convert quotes into orders?

Not today. BTB's Quote Form collects requests on the storefront and tracks them in an admin inbox with a pending → reviewed → quoted → accepted status. You reply to the buyer yourself. SparkLayer's quoting, on its Pro plan, lets you negotiate and convert quotes to orders.

Can BTB work with native Shopify B2B the way SparkLayer does?

Yes. BTB's Wholesale Pricing rules can target Shopify B2B companies and company locations as well as customer tags, so you can keep native B2B for company accounts and payment terms and use BTB for storefront tools.
