The first decision is how much of the implementation your team will own. Hosting a server container, operating a managed conversion connector and building a broader collection layer are different jobs. Choose the architecture around your website, event definitions and available technical support before comparing request allowances or monthly fees.

Map a purchase or qualified lead from its original system to every destination. Include event identifiers, values, currencies, consent signals and any parallel browser events. Use that map to ask what the product collects, transforms, stores and sends, and what you still need to configure.
Ask how to inspect rejected requests, missing events, duplicate purchases and destination errors. Decide who maintains templates and investigates discrepancies after a checkout or consent-banner change. Clarify whether support includes hosting, implementation, debugging or only selected parts of that work.
Estimate event volume during normal periods and sales peaks, then include hosting, connectors, setup and maintenance. Ask what counts as a billable request and what happens above the allowance. Keep the treatment of consent and personal data in the architecture review; a server-side product name does not settle those questions.
Compare the server-container workflow first: hosting allowance, logs, monitoring, support and the implementation work you will own. Stape also has gateway products, so make sure you compare the same type of product. Use each profile's dated pricing notes and original links to confirm the current plan.
Treat them as different starting points. A managed ecommerce connector packages a particular event-delivery workflow; hosting provides infrastructure for a server-container implementation. Check which events, destinations and transformations you need and who will maintain them before choosing either approach.
Prepare known test journeys and reconcile the resulting events with the original order or lead records and destination diagnostics. Check missing events, duplication, value and currency handling, and consent behaviour. Vendor claims about recovered conversions do not replace this implementation check.
