Compared to other enterprise e-commerce software, Adobe Commerce (Magento) is positioned at the premium price point.

Adobe Commerce, formerly known as Magento Commerce, is the enterprise e-commerce platform built for large brands and complex business requirements. Adobe acquired Magento in 2018 and has invested heavily in its cloud infrastructure, AI-powered features, and integration with Adobe Experience Cloud. Adobe Commerce powers major brands like Coca-Cola, Ford, Nestle, and Procter & Gamble with catalogs ranging from thousands to millions of SKUs.

Adobe Commerce pricing starts around $22,000/year for mid-market brands and scales to $125,000+/year for enterprise, typically based on your Gross Merchandise Value (GMV). The free Magento Open Source version remains available but requires significant development resources. Factor in implementation costs of $100,000-500,000+, ongoing developer support at $2,000-10,000/month, and essential extensions costing $5,000-20,000.
