## Good for

- Developers comfortable with TypeScript and React

- Small shops that want no platform subscription fee

## Worth knowing

- Self-hosting means managing your own hosting (the pricing page estimates $10 to $30 a month), deployment, email service and updates.
- Support for the free edition comes from the community.
- EverShop Cloud, listed at $19 per month with email support, is marked Coming Soon and cannot be bought yet.
- Extensions and themes are bought separately from the marketplace.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. EverShop is an open-source TypeScript store platform that's free to run on your own servers. Hosting runs an estimated $10 to $30 a month, support is community only, and EverShop Cloud is still marked Coming Soon.

- **Value for money: C.** Free only if you host it. The pricing page estimates $10 to $30 a month for hosting, so it sits in the middle.
- **Free plan and trial: B.** The full platform is free with no caps, but you pay for hosting, a domain and email. The hosted Cloud plan can't be bought yet.
- **Features: C.** Catalog, checkout, orders, widgets, a developer toolkit and a marketplace of extensions. Extensions and themes cost extra.
- **Ease of use: D.** No rating on record. You manage deployment, email and updates yourself.
- **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only. Stripe, PayPal, Klarna, Mailchimp and Algolia links exist, but no apps.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** EverShop is free, so making your own would save you nothing. And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces.

- You could make: Templates: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Stripe, PayPal and Klarna among them, and has an API.
- You could not: Hooks into the device itself: widgets.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
