How much does Medusa cost?

Medusa publishes 4 tiers, from $29/month for Develop up to On request for Enterprise. The cheapest paid tier is $29/month.

Does Medusa have a free plan?

Not on the record we hold: Medusa is listed as subscription. Whether a free trial is offered is not something this record captures, so check the vendor's site.

What is the difference between Develop and Launch on Medusa?

Launch costs $99/month against $29/month, and adds enhanced features.

Is the Enterprise plan on Medusa worth it?

That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is custom configuration. It costs On request against $29/month for Develop. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.

Which e-commerce tools can I use without paying?

7 of the 8 e-commerce tools listed alongside Medusa have a free tier: UnoPIM, Instacart, Temu, Vinted, Shein.

Does Medusa charge per user?

The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 4 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.

Are these Medusa prices current?

They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.

What should I compare Medusa against before paying?

The closest e-commerce tools in this directory are BackToMe, UnoPIM, Instacart, Temu. Each has a side-by-side comparison with Medusa covering price, platforms and features.

Medusa pricing

Medusa 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.

Medusa pricing tiers
Plan	Price	Features listed	Step up from the tier below
Develop	$29/month	3	Entry tier
Launch	$99/month	2	+$70/month, 1 more feature
Scale	$299/month	2	+$200/month, 1 more feature
Enterprise	On request	1	Priced on request

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.

People bring Medusa in for building a custom ecommerce backend on an open source headless platform, running a self hosted or managed commerce api with a custom storefront. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Medusa 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.

Medusa entry price against other E-Commerce tools
Tool	Entry price	Model	Rated	Head to head
Medusa (this page)	$29/month	subscription	-
BackToMe	€25/month	subscription	-	vs Medusa
UnoPIM	Free	open-source	-	vs Medusa
Instacart	Free	Free to download; item markups plus delivery and service fees per order, optional subscription	-	vs Medusa

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 Medusa badges page.

Before you pay for Medusa

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: 4 tiers between $29/month and On request, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Medusa against the tools that do have one before committing.

Medusa runs on web, and is published by Medusa of Copenhagen, Denmark. The full record is on the Medusa review, and the rest of the category is under best e-commerce tools.
