- Four plans: Free, Basic $14.99, Pro $29.99, Premium $59.99 per month.
- Entry price sits at the 28th percentile of 29 priced apps; the $24.99 median is from upsell, cross-sell and bundles apps, not page builders.
- Free allows 3 published pages and 10 drafts; Basic allows 10.
- Annual billing saves about 17% (Basic $149.90/yr).
- Overall pick is LayoutHub Free then Basic; choose PageFly Accelerate ($99/month) for A/B testing or heatmaps, and GemPages (Optimize $59, Build $29) for post-purchase funnels or unlimited pages.
LayoutHub is worth it: install the Free plan to test it, then make Basic at $14.99/month your default paid tier. That entry price is positioned against the category median of priced peers favorably. Among 29 priced apps in the upsell, cross-sell and bundles category (apps with 100+ reviews, measured 2026-08-17), the median entry price is $24.99 and the range runs $9 to $599. LayoutHub's $14.99 sits at the 28th percentile. Pro ($29.99) and Premium ($59.99) only make sense once you outgrow the published-page cap.
01 LayoutHub pricing at a glance
LayoutHub lists four plans on its Shopify App Store page. The main difference between them is how many pages you can publish at once. Prices are as of September 2026, and there are no per-transaction or usage fees on the listing, only flat monthly or annual rates.
| Plan | Monthly | Annual | Published pages | Support |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 | 3 (plus 10 drafts) | Low-priority chat |
| Basic | $14.99 | $149.90 | 10 (unlimited drafts) | 24/7 |
| Pro | $29.99 | $299.90 | 50 (unlimited drafts) | Video call |
| Premium | $59.99 | $599.90 | Unlimited | Priority |
02 How $14.99 compares with the category median
The $24.99 median comes from priced apps in the upsell, cross-sell and bundles category (100+ reviews, measured 2026-08-17), not from page builders. Of the 31 apps sampled in that category, 29 carry a paid price, and 74% of them offer a free tier. LayoutHub does both: a free plan plus a paid entry at $14.99. That is $10 below the $24.99 median and well under the top of the range, where the most expensive app charges $599 a month.
Separately, the direct page-builder comparison points the same way. PageFly's Builder plan costs $24/month and GemPages' Build plan costs $29/month. LayoutHub's Basic is cheaper than both, though the caps differ, as covered in section five.
03 What Free covers, and what each upgrade buys
- Free — 3 published pages, 10 drafts and low-priority chat support. That is more generous than PageFly and GemPages, which each allow 1 published page on their free plans. It works as a real trial.
- Basic — 10 published pages, unlimited drafts and 24/7 support. This is the tier most small stores will land on: a homepage, a few landing pages and some campaign pages.
- Pro — 50 published pages and video-call support. You need it only when you have more than 10 live pages.
- Premium — unlimited published pages, all features and priority support. You need it only past 50 live pages, or if you want the top support level.
The listing does not show separate feature gating for sections or templates, so the page cap is the number to watch. Upgrading is a question of how many pages you publish, not of unlocking a different tool.
04 Total cost over 12 months
Annual billing takes about 17% off, which works out to roughly two months free. The listing shows no free trial on paid plans, but the Free tier lets you build before you pay.
| Plan | Monthly billing | Annual billing |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | $179.88 | $149.90 |
| Pro | $359.88 | $299.90 |
| Premium | $719.88 | $599.90 |
If you stay on Basic for a full year, annual billing saves $29.98. Start monthly, and switch to annual once you know you will keep the app.
05 Is it worth it, and when to buy something else
The live App Store rating is 5.0 across 1,370 reviews, and 97% of them are five-star. Only 15 reviews are 1 to 3 stars. Reviewers praise the intuitive editor, fast page loads, clean templates and quick chat support. One merchant wrote that their issue "was resolved within minutes of chatting", and several report four to five years of continued use. The recent reviews show no billing or value complaints. The app also lists integrations with Loox, Yotpo, Stamped.io and Growave, plus multi-language, multi-currency, custom fonts and code, page versioning and SEO.
There are honest limits:
- Page cap — Basic stops at 10 published pages, while GemPages Build ($29) is unlimited.
- CRO tooling — PageFly Accelerate ($99/month) includes A/B testing and heatmaps, and GemPages Optimize ($59/month) adds sales funnels. Neither appears on LayoutHub's listing.
- Reviews — PageFly (4.9 across 5,894 reviews) and GemPages (4.9 across 4,252) have far more reviews; LayoutHub's 5.0 rating across 1,370 reviews is comparable.
Filey is not a page builder, so it does not compete here. It only makes sense if you need file or media export.
06 Verdict: which plan to install
Install LayoutHub on the Free plan and build your first pages. Move to Basic at $14.99/month when you need more than 3 live pages, and pay annually ($149.90) once you are sure. Choose Pro only past 10 live pages and Premium only past 50. If your growth work depends on A/B testing or heatmaps, PageFly (Accelerate, $99/month) is the better buy; if you need post-purchase funnels or unlimited pages, GemPages (Optimize $59, Build $29) is. For everyone else, LayoutHub Basic is the best-value pick, priced well below the $24.99 category median.
