Watch our latest video where we break down what\u2019s changed, what still works, and how 300K+ store migrations shape what we\u2019ve learned.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/v97dHmzooYE?si=VeELcokkNjGuHVVB\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>#1. Operational cost<\/h3>\n<p>In this Magento 2 review, we\u2019ll answer the burning question, &#8220;How much does Magento 2 cost?&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>In general, to run a Magento store, you'll have to bear the costs for hosting & domain, maintenance & security, extension fees, etc.<\/p>\n<h4>Hosting, domain, and SSL certificate costs<\/h4>\n<p>While Adobe Commerce Pro and Adobe Commerce Managed Services require GMV-based license fees to operate an online business, <strong>Magento Open Source is free to download and install\u2014and just that!<\/strong> However, you still need to pay for your hosting, domain, SSL certificate, and any web development help.<\/p>\n<p>If you intend to build a strong Magento store with a high loading time, a Virtual Private Server would be a good option instead of shared hosting services. However, we still provide you with some costs for the main hosting types:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Shared hosting starts around $25-$50\/month<\/strong>\u00a0but has limitations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>VPS is a good option for strong stores, costing $60-$300\/month<\/strong> <em>(range depends on resources needed).<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Finding a trustworthy hosting provider can be the first struggle when starting your business on Magento, but here, we recommend one of the best hosting providers: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloudways.com\/en\/magento-hosting.php?id=948620&utm_source=LitExtension&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=partnership\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Cloudways<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Regarding domain, here are some common costs you may need to consider:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>.com domain registration is $10-$25 annually<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Adding domain privacy is an extra $10-$15 yearly.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For the SSL Certificate, here are some of our recommendations for you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Let's Encrypt certificates are free to use<\/strong> and do not have any additional costs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fastly's shared CDN\/ edge caching services may start from $50 monthly<\/strong>. The pricing is usage-based only, based on requests, bandwidth, compute usage, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Overall, dedicated and optimized VPS hosting combined with low-cost domains\/SSLs allows Magento stores to build securely for high volumes <strong>starting at around $100-400 per month initially<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h4>Third-party extension costs<\/h4>\n<p>Next in this Magento 2 review is the cost of third-party extensions. There are many<strong>\u00a0free third-party extensions on the market<\/strong>, and these tend to be simple for things like shipping calculators, loyalty programs, etc.<\/p>\n<p>For a more advanced functional store, you\u2019ll need to pay for premium extensions. Extension prices can vary significantly depending on features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Basic features<\/strong> (Shipping calculators, Simple banner\/notifications, Widgets\/blocks) cost around <strong>$0-99 for a one-time fee<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Estimation\/Tax extensions<\/strong> start from <strong>$99-199 for a one-time fee<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Payments<\/strong> (Additional payment gateways, Payment plans\/financing, Invoice\/billing) total <strong>$199-399 annually<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Marketing extensions<\/strong> (Email marketing or Reviews\/Rating collection) cost around <strong>$199-599 annually<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sales & CRM extensions<\/strong> may cost <strong>$499-1,499 annually<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Business Management extensions<\/strong> (Order management suite or Accounting\/ERP integration) will cost <strong>$999-2,499 annually<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you need large site integrations, you may need to directly contact the Magento (Adobe Commerce) team for the quote required.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, with an average price of $100,<strong> installing an average of 10-15 extensions will cost you from $1,000-$1,500 just for extensions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h4>Frontend & backend costs<\/h4>\n<p><strong>This is one of the biggest expenses of using Magento<\/strong>. There are various tasks that you\u2019ll need to pay for, depending on your design complexity, the number of extensions, and other unique customizations that you couldn\u2019t find on Adobe Magento Marketplace.<\/p>\n<p>Let's break the cost down!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Frontend Development Costs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Building an attractive, easy-to-use frontend is crucial in eCommerce. Frontend development involves designing templates and theme files, integrating extensions, and ensuring a smooth buyer experience across devices.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Typical rate: $65-150\/hour, depending on developer expertise<\/strong>. Freelancers or smaller agencies may offer less, while larger firms charge more.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Estimated timelines: 3-6 weeks for a basic 1-2 page storefront<\/strong>. Complex multi-page sites with many custom design elements take 6-12+ weeks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Backend Development Costs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The backend provides all critical commerce functionality like catalog\/inventory management, order processing, and integrations. It requires expertise in configuring Magento's complex admin panel.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Typical rates: Same as frontend rates of $65-150\/hour<\/strong>. Prices don't vary much for backend-focused developers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Estimated timelines: 2-4 weeks for basic setups<\/strong>. More extensive integrations and customized operations can last 6-12+ weeks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So overall, it takes from 2-4 months to finish building the front and back end, and the <strong>total cost ranges from $5,000-$67,000, depending on the workload<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h4>Maintenance & Development<\/h4>\n<p>There\u2019s always something to do in a busy Magento store. <strong>The tasks could be optimizing your site, troubleshooting problems, updating new features, conducting new custom fields, and so on<\/strong>. They all require a certain level of tech experience.<\/p>\n<p>The best choice for you is to hire a full-time developer to solve new issues monthly. Depending on the workload, <strong>the costs will vary from $1,500 to $5,000.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So here's an overall pricing estimation for yearly payments we've been reading so far:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-jnews-featured-750 wp-image-67076\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Magento-Estimate-Pricing-750x713.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Magento-Estimate-Pricing-750x713.webp 750w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Magento-Estimate-Pricing-300x285.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Magento-Estimate-Pricing-1024x973.webp 1024w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Magento-Estimate-Pricing-768x730.webp 768w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Magento-Estimate-Pricing-1536x1460.webp 1536w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Magento-Estimate-Pricing-1140x1083.webp 1140w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Magento-Estimate-Pricing.webp 1552w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\"><\/p>\n<h3>#2.

Though CLI is not strictly mandatory for operating a Magento store, it does help you perform the following tasks:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Install a new Magento store<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Manage indexes<\/strong><em> (including reindexing)<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Manage the operation mode<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Configure maintenance<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>and <a href=\"https:\/\/experienceleague.adobe.com\/docs\/commerce-operations\/configuration-guide\/cli\/config-cli.html?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">so much more<\/a>!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Magento CLI can be difficult to use for non-technical users who don't have any coding experience.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you\u2019re a tech developer, you may use Magento CLI, which provides a programmatic, non-GUI interface.
