    Big commerce and Shopify are best in Hosted, Self Hosted Magento is good.

    3DCart, BigCommerce and Shopify are usually the best, unless you want to waste a ton of time dealing with PCI compliance issues and constant upgrades with non-hosted solutions like Magento and Spree.

    shopify is also good choice for you. Weather spree commerce,Magento or shopify, I think you can try them for few days, and then you can compare them with different features to make the final conclusion.

    Both Magento and Spree Commerce allow you to concentrate on developing distinctive features for your project. Which one to choose depends on your personal needs.

    .Pricing

    Spree Commerce is in only one edition and truly free. You'll pay only for front end customization and additional functionalities you develop on the backend.

    Magento is available in two editions: Community Edition (CE) is a lightweight, free eCommerce platform.

    Plugins

    Spree Commerce offers around 60+ plugins.

    Magento has a dedicated marketplace with free and paid extensions. With hundreds of plugins to take care of basic functionalities, you can entirely focus on developing unique features for your store.

    Magento was a problem! Is harder to develop making very expensive the technical people you need to hire to scale up.

    Neither.

    Taking you at your word, that you want to create ecommerce, then the best thing you can do is make it as simple and easy as possible. That, usually, means Shopify.

    If however you want to spend your limited time, using endless hours fiddling around with technical issues, then spending yet more endless hours fixing them when they go wrong, then choose a platform that takes you there.

    In other words, if you're building an ecommerce business then spend the maximum amount of time growing your business.

    Good luck with your venture.

    The best ecommerce platform is the one which offers reach features set with reasonable cost. Bad worker always blames its tools... but in this case missing features might be a business killer. Platform is merchant's work tool set- and you have to plan order processing and other in store operations. Only with well described process you can pick the right tools you need. In example advanced WMS- it has to support multichannel distribution, data collectors, product in store locations and meany more. At the day one you might not see the big picture but sooner or later you will be a part of it. I would go for hosted solution since you have only one point of escalation- there is no modules fail ping pong game. There is no interoperability issues- since there is one solo supplier. Cost wise- hosted solutions have much lower entry barrier than stand alone systems. Administrators work is usually provided by service provider, graphical services as well. Some of platform providers offer also fulfilment services as well. This way your team stays focused not disturbed by technical issues.
