Ltd. - **Website:** https://www.arcadier.com - **Runs on:** Web - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you want a price before a sales call, as none is published. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 13, 2026 ## Pricing Arcadier's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site. ## Key features - **Three-sided experiences:** Buyer, seller and admin experiences are built in, with the marketplace workflows a team would otherwise have to write itself. - **Headless, API-first design:** Full API access and webhooks let a team build its own features and custom workflows around the platform's core. - **No feature gates:** The pricing page says there are no feature gates or ceilings, so the whole platform is available from the first day. - **Marketplace types:** Aimed at B2C, B2B, P2P and services marketplaces, with the site promising a live marketplace in weeks. - **Managed services:** Arcadier's team can build, partly build or run the marketplace, with front-end hosting and infrastructure oversight quoted separately. ## Good for - Established businesses adding a marketplace to an existing stack - Enterprise teams that want API-first control rather than a template builder - Marketplaces that prefer scoped fees over a cut of each sale ## Worth knowing - No prices are published; setup, platform, maintenance and support fees are all scoped and quoted. - The pricing page lists a one-time setup fee plus monthly platform and maintenance fees, with technical support billed as used. - The site says it does not default to transaction fees, so a quote may differ by deployment. - Services such as full build, ad hoc support and infrastructure management are quoted separately. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 1.6 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. Arcadier is an API-first marketplace platform for B2C, B2B, peer-to-peer and services. Nothing is priced: setup, platform, maintenance and support fees are all scoped and quoted, and the listing shows no trial. - **Value for money: C.** No price is published, so it sits in the middle by default. The pricing page lists a one-time setup fee plus monthly platform and maintenance fees. - **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan and no trial are on record, so nothing can be tried without paying or a sales call. - **Features: C.** API-first marketplace types with three-sided experiences and managed services, and a claim of no feature gates. Little else is listed, so we can't tell where the gaps are. - **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. Setup is scoped and done with Arcadier, so there's work before launch. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, headless and API-first. No integration list on the pages we read.

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 66 of the 80 other online store builders grade higher. - You could not: Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you. - You could not: An API that other software can build on.
