commercetools

  • No pricing plans or figures are published; the pricing page states specific pricing details require contacting sales and offers only a Talk to sales link
  • Premium Support, Audit Log Premium, Advanced B2B APIs and additional regions are sold as separate paid add-ons rather than included in the base order-based price

  • Integration pricing is per token rather than per account, so several integrations multiply the cost
  • Advanced stock management and movement reporting require the $99 Plus plan
