Compared with PrestaShop
PrestaShop is French open-source shop software you host yourself, with a paid hosted version. Here is how it compares with a shop that is run for you.
| PrestaShop | Us | |
|---|---|---|
| What it costs | PrestaShop Classic is a free download. PrestaShop Hosted is €24 a month billed yearly, or €29 a month with no commitment, excluding VAT. | Our prices are on their way: ask us what your shop would pay. |
| Keeping it running | On Classic, hosting and a domain name are not included: they, and the shop’s updates, are yours to arrange. | Hosting, updates, backups and security are ours to look after. Your shop’s database is backed up continuously, with a full backup every night, and checked every minute. |
PrestaShop’s side is from its own pricing page, read on 24 October 2026. Prices change: check theirs before you decide. PrestaShop is a trademark of its owner; we are not connected with it.
