vs comparison
A Shopify theme requires a $29–299/month Shopify plan to run. Promti is €49 one-time and deploys on any static host — free. Here's when each makes sense.
| Feature | Promti Kit | Shopify Theme |
|---|---|---|
| Kit/theme cost | €49 one-time | $200–400 one-time |
| Platform cost | None — host free on Netlify | $29–299/month (required) |
| Annual platform cost | €0 | $348–$3,588 |
| Built-in checkout / cart | No — link to Stripe/Gumroad | Yes — Shopify checkout |
| Product management | Manual HTML | Shopify admin |
| AI copy wizard | Yes — editorial brand copy | No |
| Editorial design quality | Studio-level — doesn't look like a Shopify store | Good themes available but recognizable |
| GSAP / Lenis animations | Yes | No |
| Code ownership | Full — 4 HTML files | Liquid template, Shopify-dependent |
| Setup time | 15 minutes | Hours to days |
For a brand launch, a product drop, or a high-quality storefront with 1–20 products, Promti is faster, cheaper, and more editorial. Use Shopify when inventory complexity demands it.
€49 one-time. No platform fee. No lock-in. Ships in 15 minutes.
