What to weigh before you switch
Price shape, sync window, and shop cap. Not a feature checklist.
Sixteen price points for one product
Essential and Pro each have eight order bands. Crossing 100 fulfilled orders moves Essential from $35 to $45; at a few thousand orders the help-centre ladder is already past $200. QuickSync Ultra+ stays $99 for two shops and 20,000 items no matter how many orders land.
Ask for poll timing
QuickSync publishes eBay, Etsy and Squarespace inbound timing. Ask any rival for the same split: how fast they write stock, and how fast they learn of a sale on each channel.
Eight is eight
Growing past eight simultaneous connections means another tool or an architecture change. That limit is the same on Lite and Ultra+. Trunk advertises unlimited channels; if you need nine or more live storefronts, QuickSync is the wrong tool.

Questions sellers ask when they compare
Is QuickSync a Trunk alternative?
For sellers whose main pain is overselling across Shopify and other marketplaces with a bill that ignores order spikes, yes. For Shopify-native workflows, Faire/Bandcamp coverage, or Pro kitting that Trunk lists as first-class, start with Trunk.
Where do the Trunk dollar figures come from?
Their Help Center pricing article (Essential and Pro order bands). Confirm there before you budget; the marketing pricing URL has blocked crawlers.
Which QuickSync numbers are fixed?
Eight-shop cap, catalogue × (shops minus one billable) pricing, 27,000+ sellers, and 4.9 / 2,900+ reviews across our Shopify apps, cited in copy only.
