Guide
Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce: two different worlds
Magento Open Source is free to use, licensed under the Open Software License, but requires you to handle hosting, scaling, and security updates entirely on your own. Adobe Commerce is the paid enterprise variant with additional features like B2B tools and optional managed hosting through Adobe Commerce Cloud. Which variant makes sense depends heavily on your in-house technical capacity and catalog size.
Why Magento excels with very large catalogs
Magento was built for very extensive product catalogs with complex attributes, multiple stores, and international sales, and it stays performant even at high item counts, provided it's configured cleanly. For smaller catalogs, this feature set is often overkill and unnecessarily drives up cost and operational effort. Check honestly beforehand whether your catalog size justifies the effort.
Operational effort that's often underestimated
Magento is rightly considered one of the more demanding shop systems to run day to day: server configuration, caching, indexing, and regular updates require specialized knowledge. Don't underestimate this effort when budgeting, since it continues over the shop's entire lifetime, not just at launch. Ask an agency specifically who takes over hosting and maintenance after the project wraps, and at what monthly cost.
Adobe partner status and what it's worth
Adobe awards partner tiers to agencies through its Solution Partner Program, graded by certifications and project experience. The status shows formal qualification but doesn't replace looking at actually completed projects of comparable size. Ask specifically for case studies with a similar item count and similar international sales scope to your own project.
What a Magento project costs
A shop built on Magento Open Source usually runs €25,000 to €70,000. An Adobe Commerce project for an enterprise with international sales costs €80,000 to €250,000 and up, plus ongoing license costs for Adobe Commerce. Agencies charge €110 to €180 per hour.

Frequently asked questions
Magento agencies: questions and answers
What does a Magento shop cost?
A shop built on Magento Open Source usually costs €25,000 to €70,000. An Adobe Commerce project for international enterprise requirements runs €80,000 to €250,000 and up, plus license costs. Agencies charge €110 to €180 per hour.
What's the difference between Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce?
Magento Open Source is free and run entirely on your own, while Adobe Commerce is the paid enterprise variant with additional B2B features and optional managed hosting through Adobe Commerce Cloud. For very large, business-critical shops, Adobe Commerce is usually the lower-risk choice.
Which companies is Magento worth it for?
Magento suits companies with very large, complex product catalogs and international sales that can carry the necessary operational effort. For smaller catalogs, the effort is usually disproportionate, and Shopify or Shopware are often the better fit there.
How demanding is running Magento?
Comparatively high: server configuration, caching, indexing, and regular security updates require specialized expertise and continue over the shop's entire lifetime. A clear operations and maintenance contract with the agency or a hosting partner is practically essential for Magento.
Magento or Shopware, which fits the German market?
Shopware is more widely used in German-speaking countries and is often the leaner solution for mid-sized B2B catalogs. Magento, or Adobe Commerce, plays to its strengths only with very large, international catalogs, but demands considerably more operational effort and budget in return.
