A catalogue website in India can cost nothing (the free WhatsApp Business catalogue, which is not a website) up to a one-off agency project fee plus yearly hosting and maintenance. A ready-made builder sits in between: PrimeLogue costs ₹3,600 a year for up to 200 products, all-in, and ₹5,600 a year with your own domain, WhatsApp ordering and Razorpay payments. GST of 18% is extra.
What you actually pay for
Every catalogue website, however it is built, has the same building blocks. The price you are quoted is some mix of these:
| Cost | What it is | With PrimeLogue |
|---|---|---|
| Domain name | Your web address (yourbusiness.com or .in), renewed every year | Free on Standard and above; a free subdomain on Basic |
| Hosting | The server that keeps your site online, renewed every year | Included in every plan |
| Design & setup | Building the site and loading your first products | Free, done by our team |
| Updates | Adding products and changing prices after launch | You do it yourself from the mobile app |
| PDF catalogue | A printable or shareable catalogue, often made separately by a designer | Made automatically from your products |
| Online payments | A payment gateway, which charges a fee on each payment | Razorpay on Standard & Pro; only the gateway's fee, no commission from us |
| Support | Help when something breaks or you need a change | Included, on phone and WhatsApp |
Your four options, compared
| Option | How you pay | Good for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|
| WhatsApp Business catalogue | Free | Up to 500 items shown to people who already chat with you | Not a website, so no Google visibility of your own |
| DIY website builder | Monthly or yearly subscription | People who enjoy designing and maintaining a site themselves | Your time, paid add-ons, and transaction fees on some plans |
| Freelancer or agency | One-off project fee, plus yearly hosting, domain and maintenance | Unusual requirements that need custom design or code | Charges for every change later, and who owns the domain |
| PrimeLogue Catalog | One yearly plan, from ₹3,600 | Shops, wholesalers and manufacturers who want a site, a PDF and an app without the work | Built for catalogues; very custom designs are outside its scope |
For prices of DIY builders, check each provider's own pricing page in rupees, and ask agencies for an itemised quote that shows the yearly renewal cost, not just the build cost.
PrimeLogue prices by catalogue size
PrimeLogue Catalog costs ₹3,600 a year + GST for up to 200 products on a free subdomain, ₹5,600 with a free domain, custom pages, a cart with Razorpay and WhatsApp ordering, and ₹7,600 for up to 500 products. Bigger catalogues cost ₹9,600 a year for 1,000 products and ₹12,000 for 5,000. GST of 18% is extra on every plan.
That works out to about ₹300 a month for the Basic plan. Every plan includes hosting, the mobile admin app, the PDF catalogue, SEO-friendly product pages and free setup.
Before you pay anyone: a quick checklist
- What does it cost in year two? Ask for the renewal price, not just the first-year offer.
- Is the domain in your name? If you ever move, you should be able to take it with you.
- Can you update products yourself? Or will every price change be a paid job?
- Is there a commission on orders? PrimeLogue charges none; the payment gateway charges its own fee.
- How many products and photos are included? Check the limits against your range.
- Do you get a PDF catalogue? Dealers and salesmen still ask for one.
- Who do you call when something breaks? And in which language?
