Adobe Commerce Cloud licence pricing crossed $40k/year in 2026 for many mid-market merchants. Three of our clients hit that wall over the past 14 months and asked the same question: is migrating to Magento Open Source actually worth it?

We ran all three migrations. Two were worth it. One wasn't.

This is the honest version of that story — including the database schema gotchas, the B2B Suite trap, and the cost math nobody puts in marketing posts.

TL;DR

Migration saves $100k-250k over 5 years IF you don't depend on Adobe-only features
