Compared with Shopware
Shopware is German shop software: a free Community Edition you host yourself, and paid editions priced by what you sell. Here is how that compares with a shop that is run for you, at one monthly price.
| Shopware | Us | |
|---|---|---|
| What it costs | The Community Edition is free. Paid editions start at €600 a month on Rise and €2,400 on Evolve, excluding VAT, priced by your sales (GMV) and other factors. | Our prices are on their way: ask us what your shop would pay. |
| Keeping it running | On the Community Edition you arrange hosting, setting it up and maintenance, which Shopware says may cost extra, and paid extensions and payment processing may add fees. | 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. |
Shopware’s side is from its own pricing page, read on 24 October 2026. Prices change: check theirs before you decide. Shopware is a trademark of its owner; we are not connected with it.
