Ashop Commerce Pricing

Ashop Commerce has four different plans to choose from and all start you off with a fully functional 15 day free trail. They offer a decent discount if you prepay for the entire year and even a bigger discount if you prepay for 2 years.

  1. Starter plan costs $24.95 per month and entitles you to 100 products, 250 MB of storage, unlimited bandwidth, and all of the primary features. The plan can be as low as $16.95 per month, if you decide to pay in advance for 2 years.
  2. Accelerator plan costs $49.95 per month and entitles you to 500 products, 500 MB of storage, unlimited bandwidth, and all of the primary features. The plan can be as low as $34.95 per month, if you decide to pay in advance for 2 years.
