Two Flatsomes, two bills
Flatsome Price in 2026: $59 Once for Classic, or a Yearly Site Builder Plan
For one store, the cheapest Flatsome is still the old one: $59, paid once. The new Site Builder is cheaper to start until October 14 and costs something every year after. Here are both price lists, the renewal and refund rules that differ between them, and what a Flatsome store spends by year three.

The short answer
As of October 2026, Flatsome Classic costs $59 once on ThemeForest for one store, with six months of support and lifetime updates; the Extended License is $2,950. Flatsome Site Builder is yearly: $89 for 1 site, $299 for 5 and $499 for 10, half price until October 14, 2026, then optional renewals at $45 per site.

Classic and Site Builder on one price sheet
UX-Themes now sells two products under the Flatsome name. Classic is the theme most stores run, with its UX Builder, sold on ThemeForest as a one-time license. Site Builder, in beta since September 30, 2026, is a block-based builder plugin with a new Flatsome Block Theme, sold only on flatsome.com with yearly per-site plans. We checked both price lists on October 6, 2026.
| Price today | Listed price | After year one | Sites | Included | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Classic, Regular License | $59 | $59 | Nothing required | 1 live store, plus 3 staging and 5 local installs | UX Builder, child theme, 6 months of support, lifetime updates |
| Classic, Extended License | $2,950 | $2,950 | Nothing required | 1 end product sold to end users | Same as Regular |
| Classic support to 12 months | $17.63 at checkout | $41.13 shown crossed out | Optional | The same license | Six more months of vendor support |
| Site Builder, 1 site | $44.50 until October 14 | $89 | $45 a year, optional | 1 live site with staging; dev and local unlimited | Site Builder, Block Theme, MCP, blocks, dynamic pricing, forms, SEO, Classic migrator, a year of updates and email support |
| Site Builder, 5 sites | $149.50 until October 14 | $299 | $225 a year, optional | 5 live sites | Same as 1 site |
| Site Builder, 10 sites | $249.50 until October 14 | $499 | $450 a year, optional | 10 live sites | Same as 1 site |
Support periods, renewals and refunds follow two rulebooks
Classic is an Envato purchase and Site Builder is a direct one, so almost every term differs. The split below is the part most buyers skim and later wish they had read.
Classic, bought on ThemeForest
- One payment; the listing promises free lifetime updates
- Six months of support from UX-Themes, extendable to 12 months for $17.63 if added at checkout
- Envato's help center says an extension bought later, before support ends, costs more, and a renewal after it lapses costs the most
- Envato refund rules: no change-of-mind refunds; refunds for items that are broken or not as described, unpatched security holes, undelivered support, or items not downloaded within 30 days
- UX-Themes says Classic keeps getting updates for new WordPress and WooCommerce versions, including security fixes
Site Builder, bought on flatsome.com
- First year includes a year of updates and 12 months of email support
- Renewals are $45 per site per year, and the pricing page says you can skip them and keep using your current version
- A 30-day money-back guarantee on every plan
- Billed directly by the vendor, not through Envato
- Beta today; the vendor is aiming for version 1.0 within about a month
Skipping Site Builder renewals sounds like a free option. On a store it is not quite free: no renewal means no updates, and a WooCommerce site running a builder that stopped updating will meet a new WooCommerce release sooner or later. Classic owners know a milder version of this from the outdated-template warning, covered in our Flatsome update and registration guide.
How many licenses a store really needs
Owners overbuy Flatsome in two ways: a second license for a staging copy, and the Extended License for a store. Neither is usually needed.
- Staging is already covered on Classic. UX-Themes' registration docs allow 5 local, 3 staging and 1 live site per license, as long as the staging and local domains match the patterns the docs list (staging, dev and test subdomains, common host staging domains, localhost and .test, among others).
- Staging is covered on Site Builder too. The FAQ says each live site includes a staging site and that development and local sites are unlimited. Separate installations count separately, even on one domain, and each site in a multisite network counts as one.
- A store does not need the Extended License. Envato's license FAQ says that even though a web store is commercial, a Regular License is enough as long as visitors can reach the site without paying. Extended, at $2,950, is for an end product people pay to access.
- A second store does need a second Classic license. The purchase code registers to one live domain. Moving domains means removing the old record at account.uxthemes.com first.
Register a Classic license in the store owner's own Envato account, not the developer's. When the developer moves on, the purchase code, the support period and the update channel stay with the business.
One store over three years: four ways to pay for Flatsome
Here is the theme line alone for a single store, at today's prices. The Site Builder rows assume you keep renewing, which we recommend for any store that takes payments.
| Year one | Year two | Year three | Three-year total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Classic, Regular License | $59 | $0 | $0 | $59 |
| Classic with 12 months of support | $76.63 | $0 | $0 | $76.63 |
| Site Builder, 1 site, bought by October 14 | $44.50 | $45 | $45 | $134.50 |
| Site Builder, 1 site, bought after October 14 | $89 | $45 | $45 | $179 |
Now the rest of a working store. Classic leaves search and forms to plugins; Site Builder bundles an SEO module and a forms designer, which may retire one or two of them. Both still want page caching if the host does not provide it. WP Rocket's Single plan is $59.95 a year for one site on wp-rocket.me today. Our Flatsome speed guide covers whether you need it at all. The other lines are categories, because we did not verify a price: an SEO plugin on Classic, WooCommerce extensions for shipping, tax or subscriptions, payment processing fees, backups, and hosting that can carry checkout traffic.
With WP Rocket added, a Classic store's verified licenses come to $118.95 in year one and $59.95 in year three. The same store on Site Builder bought before the deadline comes to $104.45 in year one and $104.95 in year three. The difference is small either way. What decides the real bill is the plugin list on the other side of that table, which is why the Flatsome WooCommerce guide matters more to your budget than this one.
Ten client stores: where the one-time license wins
The switch from one payment to a yearly fee bites hardest at scale. An agency running ten stores on Classic pays 10 times $59, or $590, once. The ten-site Site Builder plan costs $249.50 before October 14 or $499 after, then $450 a year to keep all ten updated: $1,149.50 or $1,399 over three years. Classic is cheaper on licenses for as long as Classic keeps receiving the compatibility releases UX-Themes has promised.
The case for Site Builder at scale is not price. It is portability: pages stored as ordinary WordPress blocks rather than Flatsome shortcodes that render only while Flatsome is active. That is worth something at the next redesign, and it is the reason an agency might pilot the one-site plan now and decide at version 1.0. Our Flatsome developers run exactly that kind of staging test for stores that cannot afford to guess.

Flatsome purchases we would talk a client out of
- The $2,950 Extended License for an ordinary shop. Visitors browse free; Envato's FAQ says Regular covers it.
- A second license for a staging site. Classic allows three staging installs on matching domains, and Site Builder includes one per live site.
- A late support extension. If you want a year of support, add it at checkout for $17.63; Envato prices it higher once the purchase is behind you.
- Moving a live store to Site Builder before October 14 just for the discount. Saving $44.50 is not worth running checkout on beta software. Test on staging inside the 30-day refund window instead.
- Skipping Site Builder renewals to save $45. A store needs its updates; the renewal is the cheapest line in the stack.
- A caching or minify plugin bought to fix slowness before you measure. UX-Themes' first troubleshooting step is to switch them all off; our Flatsome CSS not updating fix often starts there too.
When the store already has problems, the Flatsome repair hub is cheaper than any new license.
What a Flatsome budget buys outside WordPress
Flatsome is cheap, and for a small catalog with standard checkout that is the right answer. The theme is rarely where a store's money goes. It goes into WooCommerce extensions, hosting that copes with checkout, and the hours spent reconciling plugins after updates. When wholesale pricing, quotes, subscriptions or an ERP connection decide revenue, those hours become the main cost.
A custom Next.js storefront costs more to build, and structural changes need a developer. In exchange there is no theme license, no builder renewal and no caching plugin: product and category pages are prerendered and served from a CDN, and every dependency is tested before deploy. Each site we build runs on Athena CMS, which has built-in e-commerce, plain fields, a real preview and every version kept. Flatsome vs Next.js weighs the trade fairly, and WordPress vs Next.js cost sets the running costs side by side.
Moving means rebuilding UX Builder pages while WooCommerce data moves across; Flatsome to Next.js explains the job, and WordPress to Next.js migration cost explains how quotes are built. Our e-commerce development team starts with a free site audit, e-commerce financing is available, and the rest of the store themes are in our theme reviews.
Questions people ask before they call
As of October 2026, Flatsome Classic costs $59 once on ThemeForest for one store, with six months of support and lifetime updates, or $2,950 for an Extended License. Flatsome Site Builder costs $89 for one site, $299 for five or $499 for ten for the first year, half price until October 14, 2026, then $45 per site per year if you renew.
The flatsome.com pricing page says the 50% early-access discount ends October 14, 2026 at 23:59 CEST. Before then the plans cost $44.50, $149.50 and $249.50 for 1, 5 and 10 sites. After it, they cost the listed $89, $299 and $499. Renewals are $45 per site per year in both cases.
Not for Classic. It is a one-time ThemeForest purchase with lifetime updates; only extra support costs more. Site Builder is yearly: the first year includes updates and support, and the pricing page says you can skip later renewals and keep using your current version. For a store we would renew, because skipping also stops updates.
Usually not. Envato's license FAQ says a web store is commercial, but a Regular License is enough as long as visitors can access the site without paying. The $2,950 Extended License is for an end product that people pay to see, such as a site behind paid access. Ask Envato if your model is unusual.
It depends which Flatsome. Site Builder has a 30-day money-back guarantee. Classic follows Envato's rules: no refund for a change of mind, but refunds are possible when the item is broken or not as described and cannot be fixed, has an unpatched security vulnerability, comes without promised support, or was not downloaded within 30 days.
