Shopify wins, 8.5 to 7.1
Shopify is the store platform itself: hosting, checkout and payments are built in, starting at $39 a month with no free plan. GemPages is a page builder that runs on top of a Shopify store, with a free plan and paid tiers from $29 a month, but it has no checkout or hosting of its own and cannot cover more than one store per subscription. Shopify also finds products to sell; GemPages does not.
Pick GemPages if you already run a Shopify store and just want a page builder with built-in A/B testing.
Pick Shopify if you need the actual storefront, checkout and hosting, not just page design.
