| Pricing | Not published — third parties report roughly $29/month monthly or $24/month annual (excl. VAT), with one source citing €24 excl. VAT; vendor page not verified · free tier: PrestaShop Classic software is free to download (licence only; hosting, domain and add-ons excluded). A 14-day free trial of Hosted is reported by a third party. | Not published · free tier: Not verified in this session; the vendor page references a 'premium upgrade' implying a free entry tier, but no free-plan terms were confirmed |
| Pricing model | Freemium (free open-source licence) plus Subscription for Hosted | Subscription |
| Best for | EU-based merchants with in-house or agency development capacity who want to own the codebase and data, value GDPR-aware tooling, and have budget for hosting plus paid modules on top of the free licence. | Small-to-mid merchants who want storefront, bookings and ticketed events on one dashboard, and design-led freelancers or agencies shipping client ecommerce sites who need visual speed plus custom CSS, backend logic and GitHub when a build turns non-standard. |
| Avoid if | You read 'free' as 'total cost of zero', or you are a non-technical solo operator without developer access comparing against fully managed SaaS — on Classic, security updates and backups are your job. | You need a locked-down total cost of ownership today — transaction fees and plan caps are unconfirmed, so high-volume merchants cannot model margin — or you require self-hosting, data-portability guarantees and full infrastructure control. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
