Magento pricing
Magento publishes 2 tiers. Below is each one, what it adds over the tier beneath it, and where the ladder stops being worth climbing for most people.
As of 30 August 2026, Magento pricing is free across 2 published tiers. Figures are the vendor's list prices as recorded on this page's last check; the vendor's site is the final word.

Magento plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Magento Open Source | Free | 4 | Entry tier |
| Adobe Commerce | $20000/year | 5 | +$20000/year, 5 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

What the product covers
The full Magento feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
Other
- Two editions
- Complex catalogue handling
- Multi-store and multi-website
- Native B2B in the paid edition
- Multi-currency and multi-region
- Composer module system
- GraphQL and REST APIs
- Hyva and Mage-OS ecosystem
People bring Magento in for a retailer with tens of thousands of skus and attribute-heavy catalogue logic that saas platforms restrict, a multi-brand or multi-region group needing separate websites, currencies and tax treatment from one back office, a b2b seller needing company accounts, negotiated pricing and quoting inside the storefront, an enterprise with an in-house or retained development team that treats commerce as owned software. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Magento are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in E-Commerce
Too few e-commerce tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.
| Tool | Entry price | Model | Rated | Head to head |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Magento (this page) | Free | open-source | - | |
| BackToMe | €25/month | subscription | - | vs Magento |
| UnoPIM | Free | open-source | - | vs Magento |
| Instacart | Free | Free to download; item markups plus delivery and service fees per order, optional subscription | - | vs Magento |
| Temu | Free | Free to browse and use; pay per order, heavy promotional discounting | - | vs Magento |
| Vinted | Free | Free for sellers, no commission; buyer pays a variable Buyer Protection fee at checkout | - | vs Magento |
| Shein | Free | Free to browse and use; pay per order, optional paid loyalty tier | - | vs Magento |
Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Magento badges page.
Before you pay for Magento
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 2 tiers between Free and $20000/year, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Magento runs on web, and is published by Adobe Commerce (Magento) of Los Angeles, CA. The full record is on the Magento review, and the rest of the category is under best e-commerce tools.
