Our verdict

Choose Saleor when headless GraphQL commerce is the job and you will either self-host OSS or budget for Cloud Select+ — not when Forever Free looks like a production free plan. Consider Medusa for JS/MIT headless with lower Cloud floors; Magento for deeper classic enterprise OSS; commercetools for quote-only composable SaaS. Scores reflect first-party documentation as of 2026-08-17 — not hands-on product testing. Confirm current packaging, minimums and usage rates on the vendor site before purchase.

Best for

  • Teams building headless GraphQL storefronts
  • Mid-market brands that will self-host or buy Cloud Select+
  • Composable stacks comparing Medusa and commercetools

Not ideal for

  • SMB founders wanting a theme marketplace weekend launch
  • Merchants mistaking Forever Free for production Cloud
  • Retail POS-first businesses

Bottom line

OSS self-host: free. Cloud: Select $1599/mo, Volume $3999/mo, Enterprise quote. Forever Free Cloud is non-commercial only. Confirm live on saleor.io/pricing.
