Checked 21 July 2026When we read ekm.com on 21 July 2026, its pricing page listed one plan with a person attached, and no tiered plans. That changes the question from which platform is most like EKM to which platform sells what you want next.
£327 + VAT
EKM’s one plan
Evolve: half price for the first three months, then £327 + VAT a month, with a dedicated ecommerce manager and design support included. Read on ekm.com on 21 July 2026.
Not on sale
The tiered plans
When we read ekm.com, only Evolve was listed. If you are on an older plan, your terms are between you and EKM, so check them before you decide anything.
Yours to take
Your data
Products, categories, image lists, customer details and orders come out of EKM’s Import/Export System as CSV or XLSX files you keep, whichever platform you pick next.

Redirects added on save
For each renamed handle
We build it, so judge it by the numbers, which do not care who wrote them down.
Solo £25, Team £85, Pro £249 and Enterprise £999 a month, ex VAT, each with unlimited products and Nebula, and 100GB of storage from the first plan. The card rate for your plan is the whole cost of a card payment, our share included.
Products, customers and orders each have an importer with a column mapper. Give EKM’s product file a spreadsheet pass first, from the sample CSV in the import dialog, and the mapper shows your first product before anything is written.
Load a list of your old paths and the new ones into the redirect importer before the domain moves. Rename a product’s handle later and Orbit adds the redirect as you save.
Email and live chat on every plan, and a free migration call before you start. Enterprise adds a dedicated account manager and the Operations suite.
The move is the same shape everywhere: export, import, redirect. Orbit vs EKM walks through our six steps.
Products (CSV under 500 products, XLSX above), categories, image lists, customer details and orders come out of the Import/Export System. Images travel as web addresses, so keep EKM online until the new shop has fetched them.
EKM’s product file needs a spreadsheet pass first. On Orbit, add Handle, Status, Is Physical and Is Taxable and give each variant a row; the column mapper then shows your first product before anything is written. Pages are rebuilt in the page builder, or drafted by Nebula from your EKM shop’s address.
List your old paths beside the new ones and load the list before the domain moves; Google’s site-move guidance is to keep redirects for at least a year. On Orbit the redirect importer takes the list, and renaming a handle later adds its own redirect.
