Oleh KemStrikingly Pricing and Plans in August 2026: FREE, PRO and VIP Costs with the Store Fee
Strikingly costs $20 a month on PRO and $59 on VIP, or $16 and $49 a month billed yearly, with a free plan under both, as of . The fee on sales is what actually decides it: 5 percent of every order on FREE, 2 percent on PRO, nothing on VIP.
A shop pays twice here. PRO costs $20 a month and takes 2 percent of every order on top, so the subscription is the smaller half of the bill for anyone selling steadily. VIP costs $59 and takes nothing, which turns the $39 between them into a revenue question.
The rest of this page works through what that fee does to the bill, which tier your site count forces, and what a domain costs once the free year ends. That fee is the spine of it. Every rate was read off Strikingly's own page in .
This page prices Strikingly the website builder, on the three plans it sells today: FREE, PRO and VIP. A free site inside a paid plan means one on a strikingly.com address with the free limits, not a second Pro site.

Free costs nothing and charges twice anyway: the site keeps a strikingly.com address, and 5 percent comes out of every sale it makes.

Vendor pricing pageStrikingly plan steps: the $39 climb from PRO to VIP ends the store fee
Two steps between the three tiers, and both of them are really about the fee.
Monthly rates with the yearly cycle beside them. What changes between tiers is the ceiling and the cut, not the editor.
What Strikingly costs you: $20 a month plus 2 percent of every order
What your line costs on the published rates
You picked FREE. It builds on a strikingly.com address, allows one product, and keeps 5 percent of anything that product earns.
Where the bill sits above the advertised rate
The arithmetic is inverted here. You listed more sites than that tier carries, and the site count cannot be topped up.
What is in your bill that the advertised rate does not price
Five percent of an order on FREE, two on PRO, none on VIP. The subscription holds still and the fee does not, which is why a growing shop pays more each month for identical software.
PRO includes a domain for the first twelve months. The vendor's own price for one afterwards is $24.95 a year, and a matching email address is $25 more.
Where your rate sits against the category
No category placement applies to a plan that charges nothing. This free tier is paid for at the checkout instead, five percent at a time.
The configuration we would sign off
PRO, on the monthly cycle unless the year is already settled. It is the cheapest tier that clears what you listed.
The tier you named sits under what you listed. Sites and contacts are hard ceilings here, not guidelines.
PRO, paid monthly, with the domain and the business email budgeted apart from the plan.
Open strikingly.com pricingWhich Strikingly plan: the domain decides first, the checkout decides after
| Your case | Plan | Why this one |
|---|---|---|
| One page, no checkout, no address of your owna personal profile, an event page, a link hub | FREE Free | Five pages per site and 500 MB of storage, on a strikingly.com address. The cap that bites first is 5 GB of bandwidth a month. You can sell from it. One product, minus 5 percent. |
| A business site that has to carry your own addressa company page, a studio site, anything a client judges by the URL | PRO $20 a month, or $16 a month billed yearly | The custom domain, its SSL and the removal of the Strikingly badge all begin here, and nothing below PRO connects a domain at all. The page ceiling goes from five to 100 per site. The room problem ends before the money one starts. |
| A small store finding out whether anything sellsa short catalogue, a launch drop, made-to-order work | PRO $20 a month, or $16 a month billed yearly | 300 products and a 2 percent cut of each order. At $1,000 of monthly sales that cut is $20, so the fee matches the subscription exactly. Model the commission before the rent. |
| A store past roughly $2,000 a month in orderssteady repeat sales, a product line that is working | VIP $59 a month, or $49 a month billed yearly | VIP costs $39 a month more than PRO. The cut disappears. Two percent of $1,950 is $39, so above that volume the dearer plan is the cheaper one. On the yearly cycle the gap narrows to $33 and the crossover falls to $1,650. |
| A membership site that mails its memberspaid tiers, a monthly newsletter, a members-only area | VIP $59 a month, or $49 a month billed yearly | Multiple membership tiers and newsletters are VIP features, and both run into 2,000 active contacts. PRO can charge for a membership but cannot split members into levels. Watch the contact number, not the 100 GB. |
| More than three sites on one accountan agency's client sites, a second brand, work done for clients | VIP $59 a month, or $49 a month billed yearly | PRO holds three Pro sites, VIP five. Free sites are unlimited on both, but they keep the free limits and the strikingly.com address, which rules them out for client work. A sixth VIP site has no published price. |
Strikingly cost by team size: one flat bill at 20 people or at 100
Plan cost only. The cut on sales is not in these totals, because it follows what the shop earns rather than what the plan says.

Price check history
Each read of the published rates is on the record with its date. Across 4 of them the three plans held.
We watched from spring 2026 onward and claim nothing about the years before that. four reads, no movement.
Where this rate sits in the category
21 website builders tools priced by one method. Entry rates run $4.50 to $97 a month, and the middle sits at $18.
Every calibration point was read the same way and on the same pass, August 2026.
Seven charges that sit outside the advertised rate
Sorted by how much each one adds once the site is live.The cut of every sale is the second price, and it sits on all three tiers
FREE keeps 5 percent of an order, PRO keeps 2 percent, VIP keeps nothing. The subscription is fixed and the fee is not, so a shop that grows pays more each month for the same software. Only the fee moves. At $2,000 of monthly orders the PRO cut is $40, twice the $20 rate.
VIP stops mailing at 2,000 active contacts
The cap sits on the only tier that sends newsletters in the first place. No published tier prices a 2,001st contact. No tier sits above VIP. A list bigger than that has to live in a mail tool bought somewhere else.
The free domain covers year one, then the vendor charges $24.95
PRO includes a domain for the first twelve months. Strikingly's own price for a domain is $24.95 a year, so year two carries a line that year one did not. The domain is not free forever. Registering elsewhere works too, since PRO connects any domain you already own.
Paying monthly costs $48 a year on PRO and $120 on VIP
$20 against $16, and $59 against $49. The vendor states both gaps as yearly savings, and VIP's is two and a half times PRO's. Anyone still choosing a tier is also choosing how much the monthly cycle will cost them.
The 2, 3 and 5 year terms are sold as savings, not as rates
The billing selector offers Monthly, Yearly, 2 Years, 3 Years and 5 Years. Only the first two carry a per-month figure. The long terms are advertised as $144, $288 and $528 off PRO, with no published rate to check them against, so a five-year commitment is priced by subtraction.
A business email address is $25 a year and needs the domain first
Custom email is sold separately at $25 a year, and the record notes it depends on having a domain. A shop that wants orders at its own name is buying two add-ons once the free year ends, not one. Both renew yearly. That is $49.95 the advertised rate never mentions.
Storage and bandwidth are counted per site, and FREE gets 5 GB a month
FREE allows 500 MB of storage and 5 GB of traffic a month on each site. PRO lifts storage to 20 GB and drops the traffic limit. VIP goes to 100 GB. What happens when a free site passes its 5 GB is not stated on the plans page.
Three questions the published plans leave open
Three gaps in the published plans. Each one is worth asking about before signing, because the answer is not written down anywhere.
- 01No overage rate for the 2,000 active contacts on VIP. Strikingly names the ceiling and stops there.
- 02No price for a sixth VIP site, and no tier above VIP to move into.
- 03No per-month figure for the 2, 3 and 5 year terms. The vendor prints $144, $288 and $528 in savings off PRO and no rate to check them against.

Strikingly pricing against WordPress.com, 10Web and Typedream: the same $20
Three rivals read at the jobs a Strikingly buyer is usually choosing between, with the cut on sales counted as part of each price.
| The job | Strikingly | The rival | Our verdict on this job |
|---|---|---|---|
| A business site on your own addressA few pages, a contact form, no checkout anywhere on it. | PRO $20/mo= $20 a month for youdomain, SSL and the badge removed | WordPress.com $10.5/site/mo= $10.50 a month for youentry tier, month to month | WordPress.com, for a page with no tillWordPress.com Personal is $9 a month against $20 on PRO. With no checkout anywhere on the site the transaction fee stops mattering, and the rate is all that is left to compare. |

WordPress.com
10Web
Typedream
HubSpot CMSMoving to Strikingly: what WordPress.com, 10Web and Typedream cost monthly
Three moves in, each priced from the two published rates involved and from what the fee does after the move.
WordPress.com
WordPress.com bills $10.50 a month where PRO bills $20, and only one of those two numbers has a commission behind it.WordPress.com hands you posts, categories and plugins. None of that vocabulary exists here, so a blog does not transfer, it gets rebuilt as pages.
- Count the pages before anything else. PRO allows 100 per site, which is plenty, but every post becomes a page in that count.
- Rebuild the two pages that earn the traffic, then move the address: PRO connects a domain you already own and issues the SSL for it.
- Leave the old plan running one billing cycle past the switch, so redirects have somewhere to point while they settle.
10Web
10Web asks $20 a month against $20 here, which makes this the rare move where the invoice decides nothing.10Web counts websites and visitors; Strikingly counts sites and orders. At the same rate the question is three sites against one site with a traffic allowance.
- Read the visitor range you are actually on. AI Starter sells a monthly visitor band, while PRO drops the traffic limit entirely.
- Move one site first and keep the other subscription alive for the month, because nothing carries across on its own.
- If the site sells, price VIP before the move rather than after: the 2 percent on PRO applies from the very first order.
Typedream
Typedream asks $20 a month against $20 on PRO, and both keep 2 percent of a digital sale.The fee is not the reason to move, since both charge it. The ceiling is: Typedream's top published tier still takes 2 percent, and VIP at $59 takes none.
- Add up last quarter's orders and take 2 percent of the total. That is the figure this move has to beat.
- Rebuild on PRO at $20 first. The tiers here are one product with different ceilings, so starting low costs nothing later.
- Step to VIP only once the fee you would save is bigger than the $39 a month the step costs.
Is Strikingly worth it: $20 buys the site, 2 percent buys the store
Updated
4.2 of 5
Strikingly enters at $20 a month on PRO, or $16 if you take the year, against an $18 middle across the 21 builders we track. On rent it is an ordinary price. On sales it is not: PRO keeps 2 percent of every order, and the only way out of that is VIP at $59, nearly three times the entry rate.
This is really two products on one subscription. As a site builder it is cheap and quick, and it stops at five pages until you pay. As a shop it charges rent plus commission, and the commission grows while you sleep. The answer is arithmetic, not taste. Work out 2 percent of a normal month, and if it beats $39, the expensive plan is the cheap one.
- You want the zero fee without the $59there is no tier between them, and PRO's 2 percent is not negotiable on any published plan.
- Your mailing list is past 2,000 peopleVIP caps active contacts there and publishes nothing above it.
- You need a sixth site on one accountthe published tiers stop at five VIP sites and price nothing beyond them.
- You want to prepay five yearsthe vendor advertises a $528 saving and no rate you can check it against.
