WooCommerce is free. Running it isn't.
WooCommerce itself has no license fee, but you still need to pay for hosting, SSL, backups, security patching, and the plugins most stores end up needing. SellersForge bundles all of that for one flat $9/month.
Free software, paid everything else
Hosting, SSL, backups, security updates, and the plugins most stores end up needing all cost extra — and most of that is on you to manage.

Pick a hosting tier and estimate your plugin spend to compare against SellersForge's flat $9/mo.
Card processing (typically around 2.9% + $0.30 via WooCommerce Payments or Stripe) applies equally on WooCommerce and SellersForge, so it's not counted below — this is just what running WooCommerce costs beyond your sales.
