The honest verdict
Verso is best for
Stores under $1M/year that want a premium look without a $400 theme bill, especially in fashion, jewelry, beauty, and home goods.
Prestige (Maestrooo) is best for
Established luxury or fine-jewelry brands doing $1M+/year that need maximum design polish and don't mind the heavier code structure.
Pacific (Out of the Sandbox) is best for
Apparel and fashion brands that want a US-market-tested theme with strong template variety. Solid track record.
Dawn (Shopify) is best for
Pre-launch stores under $50k/year that need to ship something today, free. Limited brand expression but unbeatable price.
