← Back to All ToolsChoosing a fulfillment network
On fee schedules alone the two networks land within a few percent of each other for most standard-size products. The decision is rarely made there. Amazon brings far more traffic and far more competition; Walmart brings less of both, plus no monthly subscription. Which of those matters more depends on whether your constraint is demand or margin.
No monthly subscription, and lower off-peak storage. At modest volume the subscription saving alone can exceed the difference in fulfillment fees, which is why WFS often wins for sellers doing tens rather than hundreds of units a month.
Volume. A higher fee against much higher unit throughput beats a lower fee against a trickle. If your product depends on discovery rather than on being searched for by name, the larger marketplace usually recovers its cost difference.
Listing on both networks is normal and often sensible. What is not sensible is using one price on both, because the fee stacks differ enough that a price which clears margin on one can lose money on the other. Price per channel from the fee model, not from a single target.
Before you ask
On fees they are close for most standard-size items. WFS avoids a monthly subscription and has lower off-peak storage, so it tends to come out ahead at lower volume. FBA can win at scale on throughput.
Yes, and many sellers do. Keep separate inventory allocations and price each channel from its own fee model rather than applying one price to both.
Both charge by category and the bands are broadly comparable. The differences that matter usually come from fulfillment tiers and storage rather than referral.
Generally yes, fewer sellers per listing, and also less traffic. Lower competition helps a product that people search for by name and helps less with a product that needs discovery.
Both networks penalise inventory held through peak, with surcharges and escalating long-term fees. Plan replenishment so stock does not cross those boundaries on either platform.
The tool uses published 2026 rates for both networks. Both are updated periodically, so confirm in Seller Central and Seller Center before a large purchase order.
