Overall, Amazon Handmade works out more expensive than Etsy unless your products are all priced under $5. You’ll also need to comply with the strict customer data policies, similar to Etsy’s – you are absolutely not allowed to have a relationship with your customers outside of the platform.

IndieMade

Unlike website builders, IndieMade doesn’t have extensive customization options – you can only make more general changes to the look and feel of your online store. It’s not one of those Etsy alternatives that makes it easy to completely rebrand your business when you feel like it.
