Thank you for the thoughtful feedback, Michaël!

You captured the main point perfectly. Startup costs are not just about platform pricing, but also the long-term operational and maintenance costs that many founders overlook.

Glad you found the article practical and helpful.

What I like here is that the article does not stop at the obvious startup costs. The real value is in the hidden parts many founders underestimate: payment processing fees, customer acquisition, returns, insurance, and the slow accumulation of software subscriptions.

For anyone launching with WordPress, WooCommerce, EasyCommerce, or another ecommerce stack, this is the right mindset: do not just compare the monthly platform price. Compare the full operating cost, the maintenance burden, and the tools you will actually need after launch.

Simple, practical, and helpful for making better decisions before spending too much too early.
