How much does Hyvä migration cost in 2026?

Around $2,499 if you take my fixed-fee sprint for a small store with under 20 extensions. Below that, you're either using a half-finished free Hyvä theme yourself or hiring someone who'll over-promise and miss the launch. Honest floor is ~$3,000 for a developer who knows what they're doing.

The Hyvä Theme license is €1,000 (≈$1,100) one-time per production domain as of 2026. Hyvä Checkout is separate (~€500). B2B is a separate license again. License costs are not included in development quotes, they're paid directly to Hyvä Themes BV.

Yes, typically 30-60% more. Adobe Commerce stores have B2B features, page builder content, staging environments, and more complex integrations. A mid-market Adobe Commerce migration that'd be $15k on Open Source is more like $22k, $28k.

Independent senior Hyvä developers typically charge $25, $80/hr depending on geography and experience. My canonical rate is $25/hr, I'm Adobe Certified (2021) and based in India, working with global clients. Agency rates run $80, $200/hr for the same work.

You can install the free Hyvä compatibility checker and read the official Hyvä docs. But porting a real Luma store with 30+ extensions and custom code without breaking checkout, SEO, or analytics is a different skill level. Most "DIY" Hyvä migrations end up costing more in rework than hiring help up front.

The $499 audit is a discovery deliverable, you get a written report with extension compatibility, custom-code inventory, and a line-itemised quote. No code is shipped. The $2,499 sprint is the actual migration for a small store. Audit cost rolls into the sprint if you proceed within 30 days.

For a small Magento Open Source store with under 20 extensions and a light Luma theme, yes, $5,000 lands you a real Hyvä migration with QA and launch support. For mid-market or any B2B store, no, you'd end up with a half-migrated site. I'd rather tell you that during the audit than after I've billed you $5k.

Yes. Standard split is 30% on signing, 30% at staging signoff, 30% at production launch, 10% after the 14-day post-launch monitoring window. For projects over $25k I'll do four equal milestones tied to phase deliverables.

Three things commonly excluded from migration quotes: (1) Hyvä license fees themselves, (2) third-party Hyvä-compatible extension re-purchase costs, (3) hosting upgrades if your current Magento server is undersized. I list these explicitly in every audit so there are no surprises.

Book the $499 audit from the hire me page. I'll need read-only admin access, a list of installed extensions, and your Core Web Vitals baseline. You'll get a written quote in 3 business days, with hours broken down by phase at $25/hr.
