Pimcore pricing at a glance
Pimcore lists four editions. The Community Edition is free under conditions, Professional and Enterprise are annual on-premise licenses with a published price, and the PaaS edition adds hosting and operations. The English pricing page shows US dollars and the German page shows euros, and the two sets are not an exact currency conversion, so we quote both.
| Edition | English page (USD) | German page (EUR) | How you buy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Community | Free under the POCL conditions | Free under the POCL conditions | Download |
| Professional | $9,900 per year | From €8,400 per year | Pimcore Store |
| Enterprise | $29,900 per year | From €25,200 per year | Quote |
| PaaS | Custom on the pricing page; tiers from $39,900 per year on the PaaS page | From €34,200 per year on the PaaS page | Quote |
The PaaS page lists three priced tiers per year: Starter ($39,900), Growth ($57,900) and Performance ($79,900), with an Individual tier on quote. Seen from Europe the same page shows €34,200, €48,612 and €66,612. The main pricing page still labels PaaS as custom, so expect the final number to come from a quote.
License
The POCL license and €5M rule
With version 2025.1, Pimcore moved its Community Edition from GPLv3 to the Pimcore Open Core License (POCL); 2024.4 was the last GPLv3 release. Under the POCL you may use the Community Edition in production for free if your organisation's total global revenue is €5 million or less, unless you are part of a group whose combined revenue is higher. Non-profit and educational organisations and non-production use such as demos and proofs of concept are also free.
Eligibility is self-certified and can be audited, and the license allows Pimcore to charge fees retroactively from the moment you pass the threshold. If your business is growing towards €5 million, budget for at least the Professional Edition. Our open source PIM guide compares Pimcore with PIMs that still use classic open source licenses.
Price drivers
What drives the Pimcore price
- Edition. The E-Commerce Framework and the Customer Data Platform are available from the Enterprise Edition, together with the enterprise extensions and 24/7 support.
- Hosting. On-premise editions run on your own infrastructure; PaaS includes hosting, operations, monitoring and auto-scaling, with Boost Mode billed by the minute.
- Production instances. More than four independent production instances needs the Pimcore Unlimited Edition, which is quoted by sales.
- Not the catalog size. Pimcore's pricing FAQ says there is no limit on products, assets, sites or seats.
Implementation
Implementation and partner costs
Pimcore is a framework as much as a product: you model your own data classes and build integrations in PHP and Symfony. Implementation runs through Pimcore's solution partners, and neither Pimcore nor the partner directory publishes implementation fees. The license is usually the smaller part of a Pimcore budget, so ask partners for a fixed-scope proposal and for the yearly cost of maintenance and upgrades after go-live.
Comparison
Pimcore pricing versus WISEPIM
WISEPIM is a hosted SaaS PIM, so there is no server, no PHP project and no license audit. The free plan covers 100 products. Paid plans start at €299 a month billed yearly for 1,000 products and reach €1,499 a month for 50,000 products, which is €17,988 a year. AI enrichment, translation and quality checks are included through monthly AI credits, a few cents per product depending on your plan.
Pimcore wins when you need one platform for PIM, DAM, MDM and custom applications and have developers to build on it. WISEPIM fits teams that want product content enriched and translated without a development project. See WISEPIM vs Pimcore for a full comparison and WISEPIM pricing for the calculator.

Works alongside
Using WISEPIM next to Pimcore
You can also keep Pimcore and add WISEPIM for the AI work. WISEPIM reads your data objects over Pimcore's REST or GraphQL API or a CSV export, enriches and translates them, and writes the values back to the same objects, so your data classes and PHP extensions stay untouched. See AI for Pimcore, or compare other Pimcore alternatives.
