Template Pricing Update
Learn more about our updated pricing.
We have rolled out our updated pricing model for template sales and wanted to fill everyone in on the changes. When we first launched Templamatic, we had an open pricing model which meant that every designer could set their own sale price on each individual template. We thought that this would promote an open market where the true value of a template could be set by the designer and passed on to the buyer. What we have found instead is that the inconsistency in pricing causes confusion amongst buyers who are trying to make the right purchasing decision based on factors such as price and quality. We also want to foster an environment where designers are being adequately compensated for their creative efforts and are not forced into a bidding war to sell their templates at the lowest price possible.
From now on templates will be sold according to the following price chart:
$0.0 Free
$20.00
$35.00
$50.00
$65.00
When a designer submits a template to Templamatic, they can choose from this list, according to the time, effort and general quality of their product. As part of our internal review, Templamatic will also validate the correct price has been chosen. Under special circumstances, a designer may indicate an alternate price if appropriate. Exceptions will be considered on a case by case basis.
We have added a new category for FREE templates. This category will be used sparingly for promotional template giveaways and not for low quality, non premium templates. We only sell the best templates available!
