What It Costs to Run the Same Tools
Enter a WordPress or Shopify site and the estimator adds up what you'd pay in the first year to use the same software:
- Theme: free themes from WordPress.org or the Shopify Theme Store, or the list price of premium themes such as Divi, Avada or Flatsome.
- Plugins: free WordPress.org plugins, plus premium ones such as Elementor Pro, Gravity Forms or ACF Pro.
- Hosting or plan: the host's cheapest plan for one site, or the Shopify, Squarespace, Wix or Webflow plan.
- Domain: a typical .com price.
Where the Prices Come From
Prices are list prices from each vendor's own pricing page, and the date they were checked is shown with the result. Ranges show the difference between paying yearly or with an introductory offer and paying monthly or on renewal. Items without a public price are listed but left out of the total.
What It Doesn't Include
The estimate covers software and hosting, not people. Design, development, writing, photos and agency fees often cost far more, especially for business sites. Paid add-ons that don't show on the home page can't be seen either.
