OpenCart plans & pricing
Verified 2026-08-18: OpenCart core is free open-source download (GPL) — high confidence. Optional managed cloud pricing (~$59–$99/mo) appears in secondary roundups only — medium confidence; confirm live on vendor/cloud partners; do not treat as first-party confirmed list tiles. Primary buyer path is free core + hosting/extension TCO. Affiliate economics excluded.
