Questions about each
nominalia
What does a .com domain cost at Nominalia?+
Nominalia lists its .com first-year registration at €1, with renewal at €58.90. The .com transfer price is €9.90. These are separate domain costs, so compare the initial registration and later renewal before choosing based on the entry price alone.
Does Nominalia have a free plan or trial?+
Nominalia offers a free trial lasting 30. Its website builder has no free plan, so the trial is a temporary way to try the service rather than an ongoing free tier. The starting website-builder price is €6.67.
Kartra
How much does Kartra cost to start?+
Entry pricing runs from $59, and the e-commerce plan price is $59. Both point at the same starting figure, so a shop and a plain site begin in the same place. Renewal is the number to watch once the trial ends.
Is there a free plan?+
No. There is no free plan, so the 14 day trial is the only no-cost way in. The builder, the store and the help desk can all be tried before anything is paid, which suits a buyer who wants to feel the templates out first.
