# APIWORX vs SPS Commerce — Full Ecommerce + EDI Integration vs EDI-Only Network

SPS Commerce is the largest EDI network for retail trading partners. APIWORX is a managed iPaaS for ecommerce operators that includes direct EDI to major retailers and full commerce + ERP integration. The two are not direct substitutes — many APIWORX customers use SPS as a routing layer — but for buyers comparing them, the wedge is scope.
