The final cost depends on the complexity of your marketplace project and the type of software you're using. For self-hosted software like CS-Cart, you pay for it only once (from $1,450) and use it forever. Plus, you need hosting from $10/month. If you go for a cloud platform, you don't have a final price—with cloud marketplace software you pay regularly as you work.
