The Alomations free plan gives you 40 credits a month once your Etsy shop is connected, which is about 4 to 6 full listings, plus up to 4 AI images a month, the Etsy listings manager and real order fulfillment, with no card required. A finished listing costs about 10 credits when the design is AI-generated and about 4 when you upload or reuse one, so the designs you bring decide how far a month goes.
The Free plan suits two kinds of seller: someone who wants to see what a full listing run produces in their own shop before paying anything, and someone who already has listings and wants one place to manage them and fulfill orders. Both get the core listing run, the listings manager and order fulfillment, with fewer credits and a handful of tools kept for paid plans.

No card is needed to start, and no plan caps the number of listings you can have. On Free, the only limit is how many credits you spend each month.
How far 40 credits go
Two numbers do the work here. A full listing from an AI-generated design costs about 10 credits, and a full listing from a design you upload or reuse costs about 4. Our pricing page puts the Free plan at about 4 to 6 full listings a month, and the mix of designs you bring decides where you land in that range.
For example, two listings from AI designs and three or four from your own uploaded artwork fit inside one month's 40 credits. If you already have finished artwork, uploading it stretches the plan furthest, and the AI images are there for trying new ideas.
Unused credits are not lost at the end of the month: they roll over, up to 3x your monthly amount, so a quiet month can fund a busier one. Our guide to how Alomations credits work explains rollover and the cost per listing in more detail.
Keep in mind that credits pay for Alomations, not for Etsy. Etsy still charges its own fees, starting with a listing fee of $0.20 per listing and a 6.5% transaction fee when an item sells.
What one listing run does with those credits
A run is the core of Alomations, and Free sellers get the full version:
Connect your Etsy shop through the official Etsy API, on Etsy's own sign-in screen. It takes under two minutes and can be revoked from Etsy.
Build a template once: product and category, price, sizes and colours, materials, SKUs, shipping, return and processing profiles.
Bring a design, either artwork you upload or one generated with AI.
Pick mockups and the template, choose live or draft, and start the run.
The run then delivers print-ready files (12 inches at 300 DPI, a transparent PNG with an SVG, in light and dark versions), renders the mockups, writes a buyer-intent title within Etsy's 140-character title limit, fills all 13 tags and a description, applies the template and publishes to your Etsy shop live or as a draft. A listing with one mockup starts at 90 seconds, though the time varies. Our walkthrough of your first listing shows each screen.
Managing listings and orders on Free
The listings manager is open on every plan. It shows your shop's active and draft listings in one list with filters and sort, and lets you bulk edit prices (by percent or to an exact amount), tags and variations, or bulk deactivate. Each live listing gets a score from ten checks, with the fix attached to each one. Update SEO rewrites the title, tags and description of a live listing, and the first rewrite per listing is free. You can also connect a listing you made by hand to a design and a fulfillment product, so its orders arrive resolved.
Orders are open on Free too. Etsy orders pull in with the design and variant matched and the buyer's personalization attached. You can fulfill through our production partners, with item cost and shipping shown separately before you pay from your balance, or print and ship the order yourself. The free Classroom videos, in English and Turkish, sit alongside all of this.
When a paid plan makes sense
Upgrade when Free starts to limit the way you work, not before. The common signs are running out of credits before the month ends, wanting the Design Editor to adjust artwork, wanting your own product photos as mockups, running more than one shop, or wanting to queue listings to go live over time.
The paid plans are Starter at $49 a month (500 credits, about 50 to 125 listings), Standard at $99.90 (1,200 credits, about 120 to 300) and Pro at $169.99 (2,500 credits, about 250 to 625). Yearly billing means you pay for 10 months and get 12, and credit top-up packs never expire and are usable while you are subscribed. Our comparison of Free, Starter, Standard and Pro helps you match a plan to your volume, and the features page lists what each tool does.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a credit card for the Free plan?
No. You create an account and connect your Etsy shop, and the 40 monthly credits start without a card on file.
Do Free plan credits expire at the end of the month?
No. Unused credits roll over, up to 3x the monthly amount, so a month you do not use carries forward within that limit.
Can I fulfill real orders on the Free plan?
Yes. Order fulfillment, through production partners or by shipping yourself, is open on every plan, Free included.
Is there a cap on how many listings I can have?
No plan caps the number of listings. On Free, the number of new listings you make each month depends on the credits you spend.
