Hosting included
Freewebstore is fully hosted — free forever. WooCommerce needs WordPress hosting ($10–30/month) plus a domain and SSL.
WooCommerce alternative · fully hosted
WooCommerce.
WooCommerce.
Without the WordPress.
The WooCommerce plugin is free. WordPress hosting, SSL, security patches, plugin conflicts and update-Sundays aren’t. Freewebstore gives you the same “full ecommerce” feature set — fully hosted, fully patched, fully free. Since 2007.
A million stores built since 2007. The highest-rated free ecommerce platform on Trustpilot.
WooCommerce vs Freewebstore.
Same features. One you maintain yourself. One we maintain for you.
Security handled
We patch, back up and monitor every store. On WooCommerce, security updates for WordPress core, every plugin and PHP versions are your problem.
Extensions built in
Subscriptions, loyalty points, gift cards, discount codes, AI product copy, live shipping rates — all included free. On WooCommerce these are $59–$299/year each.
No plugin conflicts
The classic WordPress problem: two plugins break each other after an update. Freewebstore is one integrated platform — no plugin dependency hell.
AI included
AI product copy, AI SEO, AI business reports on every plan. WooCommerce’s AI story is a paid Jetpack add-on and third-party plugins.
Since 2007
Fully hosted, no dev work needed. Same platform since 2007 — refined, not rebuilt.
Free plugin. Everything else costs.
-
Hosting is the hidden monthly bill
Managed WordPress hosting suitable for a store runs $10–30/month. Add a domain ($12/yr), an SSL, plus paid extensions and you’re at $200–500/year before revenue. Freewebstore is $0/month, all-in.
-
Update Sundays and security fires
WordPress core updates. Plugin updates. PHP major-version bumps. Malware scans. Backup restores when something goes wrong. Freewebstore removes all of that from your Sunday.
-
Paid extensions everywhere
WooCommerce Subscriptions: $239/yr. Bookings: $249/yr. Shipping table rates: $99/yr. Loyalty programs: $149/yr. On Freewebstore, these are built-in features on the free plan.
-
“It’s a plugin conflict, not our problem”

Leaving WooCommerce — the questions you actually have.
-
Isn’t WooCommerce free?
The WooCommerce plugin is free, yes — but running it isn’t. You need WordPress hosting ($10–30/month), a domain, an SSL certificate, and you manage updates, security patches and backups yourself. Freewebstore is $0/month all-in: hosting, SSL, updates and security are all included.
-
Can I import my WooCommerce products?
Yes. Export your WooCommerce products to CSV, drop them into Freewebstore. Free on every plan. Variations, images and stock come across.
-
What about WooCommerce extensions I’ve paid for?
Most equivalents are built into Freewebstore free — subscriptions, discount codes, loyalty points, live shipping rates, gift cards, AI product copy. You’ll typically stop paying for extensions entirely.
-
I like the flexibility of WordPress themes. Will I lose that?
Freewebstore has 100+ mobile-responsive themes plus a click-and-edit editor with full HTML/CSS access. You get design flexibility without the plugin conflicts, PHP version headaches or security updates.
-
What if I have a huge product catalogue?
Freewebstore scales from first sale to hundreds of thousands of products on the same platform. No hosting to upgrade, no server tuning, no plugin conflicts as you grow.
-
Who handles security and updates?
We do. Every Freewebstore site is patched, backed up and monitored by our team. On WooCommerce, that’s your job — every plugin, every core update, every PHP version change.
Leave WooCommerce.
Skip the Sundays.
