However, you\u2019ll have to pay extra costs for added hosting, domain, security, and website management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, this is what you\u2019ll pay when you build your store on the free version of Magento:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hosting:<\/strong> $100 \u2013 $200\/month or $1,200 \u2013 $2400\/year<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Developer costs:<\/strong> $70 per hour (on average) for freelancers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if you\u2019re planning to create a store with higher revenue, you\u2019ll likely want to upgrade your plan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this, you\u2019ll need Adobe Commerce, the paid version of Magento. Adobe does not publish a starting price: it quotes each store based on gross merchandise value (GMV) and order volume, so contact Adobe sales for a figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, you\u2019ll have to pay for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Customer support <\/strong>is lacking in the free version. So, you\u2019ll have to pay for it to troubleshoot technical issues you might face with Magento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Themes and plugins<\/strong> (vary on your selection)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Development and maintenance<\/strong> costs $80-$200 per hour if you hire a professional Magento development agency or $60-$170 if you hire a qualified freelancer.
