Pricing (2026)
✓ Pricing re-verified 3 Oct 2026
Three packages and a tailored tier, paid monthly or yearly with no fixed contract. Portfolio is €9.99 a month, or €8.33 a month billed yearly, for a 10-page site with 3GB of storage, SSL and a blog, and no shop. Professional is €19.99, or €16.66 billed yearly, for 50 pages, 10GB, 50 custom HTML integrations, 3 custom forms, one website administrator and a shop of up to 250 products with discount codes and sales.
Business is €39.99, or €33.33 billed yearly, for unlimited pages and products, 20GB, 200 HTML integrations, 15 forms, three administrators and the selling tools Professional leaves out: abandoned basket recovery, Instagram and Facebook Shopping, digital products, Google Shopping, Klarna and PayPal pay-later, automatic Pinterest Shopping, product customisation and Royal Mail Click & Drop. Tailored starts at €79.99, or €69.99 billed yearly, with all limits removable and permissions for unlimited staff.
Every package includes hosting, SSL and an account manager; the two smaller packages get UK-based email support, Business priority support. The page offers a free trial without stating its length, and adds VAT at your country's rate. Create is based in Brighton, UK; its copyright line runs from 2001. Plans change — always verify the live price on their site.
What the pricing page doesn’t say
Professional's ecommerce column on the pricing page has a 250-product limit and discount codes, and then a dash on nine lines: abandoned basket recovery, Instagram and Facebook Shopping, selling digital products, Google Shopping, Klarna, PayPal pay-later, Pinterest Shopping, product customisation and Royal Mail Click & Drop. If you sell downloads, want basket-recovery emails or want your products in Google Shopping, the real price is Business at €39.99 a month, twice Professional.
The prices are shown without VAT. The page says VAT is added at the prevailing rate for your country, so a seller who cannot reclaim it pays more than the headline: at 20%, Business is €47.99 a month. The page also showed us euros from the Netherlands; check which currency your account will be billed in before you compare it with a dollar-priced builder. Team editing is thin below the tailored tier.
Professional allows one website administrator and Business three; only Tailored, from €79.99, mentions permissions for unlimited staff. A shop with a part-time helper on Professional means sharing one login. Two things the pricing page does not tell you: how long the free trial lasts, and what card payments cost. It lists no transaction fee of Create's own, but the card fees belong to the payment provider you connect, such as Stripe, PayPal, WorldPay or Opayo.
The many customer quotes on the package pages are Create's own selection. We have not used Create.
What Create does
UK-based hosted website builder with templates, a blog, custom forms and an online shop with card and pay-later payments, marketplace shopping feeds and Royal Mail shipping, plus a dedicated account manager on every package.
Choose by what you sell, not by page count
Portfolio at €9.99 a month is a brochure site: ten pages, a blog and no shop. Professional at €19.99 adds a shop and is enough for a maker selling physical goods with fewer than 250 products, who takes card payments and ships the parcels themselves. Business at €39.99 is worth the extra €20 a month the moment you need any one of the nine selling tools Professional leaves out: digital downloads, abandoned-basket emails, Google, Instagram, Facebook or Pinterest shopping, Klarna or PayPal pay-later, product options, or Royal Mail Click & Drop labels.
More than 250 products, a second editor or more than three forms also push you there. Yearly billing saves about 17%: €19.92 a year on Portfolio (€99.96 instead of €119.88), €39.96 on Professional and €79.92 on Business. Because the FAQ says you can upgrade at any time and the new price takes effect at once, starting yearly on the smaller package is a reasonable bet only if you are sure you will not need the Business-only tools within the year.
How to actually use Create
Start the free trial from the pricing page; the sign-up opens at app.create.net. The page does not say how long the trial lasts, so check that on the first screen and plan your build around it. Before you choose a package, write down what your shop needs in its first year and compare it with the pricing table line by line. The list of Business-only tools is long, and the most common surprises are digital products, Google Shopping and abandoned-basket recovery.
Then pick a template, and connect a domain: you can buy one inside your Create account or link one you already own. Set up payments next. Create's shop can take payments through up to three providers at once, from Stripe and PayPal to WorldPay, Opayo and Klarna, and the card fees are theirs, so compare those rates before you choose. When you outgrow the package, go to Account and choose 'Change your package'; the FAQ says the upgrade applies at once and your next payment is adjusted.
Distilled from Create's pricing page with both billing options in the page source, its package pages for Business, Professional and Portfolio, the payment gateways page, the features page and the homepage, all read in a live browser on 3 October 2026 (prices shown in euros, excluding VAT); our Webflow dossier (re-verified 29 September 2026) for the comparison.

Create vs Webflow, side by side
Each column shows the vendor’s own published entry price, read on the date shown. Entry prices can cover different services or units, so check what each one buys. We do not average them into a score.
Both names above are affiliate links: we may earn a commission if you sign up, at no extra cost to you. Neither changes what this table says.
The natural comparison is Webflow — Webflow is the other website builder in our own dossiers, and the two are built for different people. Webflow, re-verified on 29 September 2026 in dollars on yearly billing, charges a site plan ($25 a month with CMS), a workspace plan and $39 a month per full seat, and its ecommerce starts with Standard at $29 for 500 items and a 2% transaction fee, or Plus at $74 for 5,000 items without the fee. Create, read on 3 October 2026 in euros excluding VAT, is one bill per site: €19.99 a month for a 250-product shop or €39.99 for unlimited products and the full selling toolkit, with no per-seat charge but only one or three administrators. Webflow suits designers who want control of every layout and are ready to add up three bills; Create suits owners who want a template, a shop and an account manager to ring..
Frequently asked questions
What does Create cost?
Portfolio is €9.99 a month, Professional €19.99 and Business €39.99, or €8.33, €16.66 and €33.33 a month on yearly billing, plus VAT. Tailored starts at €79.99. Read on create.net/pricing on 3 October 2026.
Can I sell digital products on the Professional package?
No. The pricing table marks selling digital products, along with Google Shopping, Instagram and Facebook Shopping, abandoned basket recovery and pay-later options, as Business-only.
Are the prices including VAT?
No. The pricing page says prices are shown excluding VAT, which is charged at the rate for your country.
What should I weigh before buying Website Builders software?
Judge it on evidence rather than adjectives. Look for a published security page, single sign-on and role controls on the plan you would actually buy (they are often gated to higher tiers), a status page with real incident history, and a clear answer on where your data is stored. If the tool will hold anything sensitive, those four answers matter more than any feature comparison.
Is this a hands-on review of Create?
This is a researched assessment, not a hands-on test — where we've used a tool ourselves, we say so explicitly. We name what each tool is good and bad at, and we earn a commission only if you sign up, at no cost to you.
