Shopify's prices in euros as shown in Hungary; their page does not say whether VAT is included. Poltura's prices exclude VAT. For annual billing, both sides show the monthly average. Poltura in forints on yearly billing: Start 4,990 Ft, Plus 9,990 Ft, Pro 24,990 Ft a month, excl. VAT.

How we calculate this

  • Compared on yearly billing, as a twelfth of the yearly price; the switch shows monthly billing. Excluding VAT, rounded to whole amounts.
  • Payment provider fees (Barion, SimplePay, Stripe, Shopify Payments) and courier fees are excluded on both sides.
  • Poltura extras per month: one more team member €6, one more language €6, 1,000 more products €9.
  • Prices in US dollars are converted at the ECB reference rate (27 October 2026: €1 = $1.115).
  • On top of the owner's account, Shopify includes 5 staff accounts on Grow, 15 on Advanced and none on Basic.
  • We count one invoice per order.
  • We did not check courier connections or loyalty points on Shopify, so they are omitted here.

Method and sources

Checked on

This comparison was made on 27 October 2026 from Shopify's publicly available pages (sources in each table row and below). Plans are compared on yearly billing, as the monthly average excluding VAT; monthly prices are shown beside them. Transaction and payment provider fees, and the cost of separately paid apps, are included only where stated. We chose the points from features that matter to Hungarian online shops; the list is not exhaustive. Shopify's plans, prices and features may change, so their own pages are authoritative. If you spot an error, write to hello@poltura.com and we will correct it. Shopify is a trade mark of its owner; Poltura is not affiliated with Shopify's operator.
