Designing a Shopify store in the US today doesn’t follow a one-size-fits-all price tag. Costs range based on your brand’s needs, number of products, and the level of customization you choose. Here’s what to expect in 2025 — and how That Nerd Studio’s packages fit into those ranges.
Shopify Monthly Subscription
Shopify subscription costs in the US start at $39/month for the Basic tier. The Shopify plan is $105/month, and Advanced is $399/month. For enterprise-level businesses, Shopify Plus starts around $2,300/month. Many US brands also use Shopify Payments to reduce transaction fees, which can save hundreds per month as sales scale.
Theme or Design Costs
If you go with a free or paid Shopify template (typically $0–$300) and set it up yourself, your costs stay low. But for a professionally designed store, you’ll pay more based on scope.At That Nerd Studio, our 2025 US packages are:
- Starter Shopify Store – $999:
For up to 10 products, 5 pages, and 3 app integrations. Built on a premium Shopify 2.0 theme with customization to match your brand. - Growth Shopify Store – $2,250:
For
For up to 30 products, 10 pages, and 6 app integrations. Includes custom Figma-based design, SEO setup, and advanced customization. - Pro Shopify Store – $5,500:
For
For up to 100 products, 25 pages, and 10 app integrations. Fully custom design, advanced features, and enterprise-level performance optimization.
Custom Features, UX, and Scope
Custom functionality like complex filtering, subscriptions, or multi-page landing funnels increases the cost. With TNS packages, advanced features are built into the Growth and Pro plans — meaning you get them without surprise add-ons later.
- Starter Plan: Focuses on fast launch and essential features.
- Growth Plan: Adds flexibility for scaling brands with custom layouts and marketing tools.
- Pro Plan: Full enterprise-grade build with high-level custom features and advanced CRO considerations.
Apps, Maintenance, and Ongoing Work
Even after launch, you’ll likely spend on apps, updates, and SEO tweaks. Most US Shopify stores spend $50–$100/month on apps alone.
Our packages include pre-selected, high-impact apps for your needs:
- Starter: 3 apps included.
- Growth: 6 apps included.
- Pro: 10 premium apps included.
You’ll also need to budget for domain registration ($10–$30/year) and marketing support after launch.
