CubeCart vs. LiteCommerce
Revision date: 30 Jul 2007
CubeCart is well-known free online store builder. This ecommerce software can be used free of charge as long as the CubeCart company labels are kept along with product information.
While the layout of this ecommerce solution is template-based, CubeCart is not open sourced and may not be enhanced or modified if we speak about functionality. Although the free version is a good way to try this ecommerce product, there are much more flexible online store builders covering the same price range.
