Websites, selling online and automation: choosing your tools and knowing the real cost
Shop, newsletter, online course, automation, no-code app: what you need to start an online business without a technical team.

In brief
To sell online, the advertised price of a subscription is never the full cost: payment fees, transaction fees, apps and a domain name all come on top. Our pages compare the options by reading the official pricing pages, dated, and explain how each tool counts. Start with what you want to set up, then open the matching page.

Which platform should you sell on?
Shopify pricing in the UK → sets out the plans, the free trial and the fees that come on top of the subscription, and shows how to estimate a realistic monthly cost for your own shop. It deliberately shows no amounts, because they change.
Which tool should you use for email?
Brevo review → details what the free plan allows, its limits and the UK rules that apply to marketing emails.

Frequently asked questions
Can you set up an online shop without paying anything?
Starting without a subscription is possible in some cases, but rarely with no costs at all. See Shopify pricing in the UK → for how the costs of a shop add up.
What is the difference between Shopify and systeme.io?
One is centred on the shop, the other is an all-in-one (funnels, emails, courses).
Is the free plan of an email tool enough?
For a small list, often yes, with the publisher's logo on your emails and sending limits. See Brevo review →.
How do you avoid a surprise bill with an automation?
By understanding how the tool counts usage before you build the first scenario.
