How much does Amazon A+ Content cost in 2026?
By John Will, Founder & CEOUpdated · 7 min read
Publishing A+ Content on Amazon is free for brand-registered sellers; what you pay for is the design. In 2026, published agency ranges run about $300 to $1,500 per ASIN for a basic A+ set, and freelancers charge roughly $20 to $200 per deliverable. Shaazford charges a flat $200 per listing for A+ Content and $250 for Premium A+, and designs your first sample at no cost.
Key takeaways
- Amazon charges nothing to publish A+ Content if you are eligible. You pay for design, photography and copy.
- Published 2026 agency ranges for basic A+ run $300 to $1,500 per ASIN (amzdudes, Cueball Creatives).
- Amazon says basic A+ can increase sales by up to 8%, and well-built Premium A+ by up to 20% (Amazon internal data).
- Our flat rates: A+ $200, Premium A+ $250, Brand Story $100 per listing. No minimum, and the first sample costs nothing.
Does Amazon charge for A+ Content?
No. Amazon lists A+ Content as free for sellers who meet its eligibility rules: a Professional selling account and a Brand Representative or Reseller role on a brand enrolled in Brand Registry. Amazon has also offered Premium A+ at no charge to brands that meet the Premium eligibility rules since 2022.
So when someone quotes you for A+ Content, the number is for the work: the layout, the images, the copy and, for most brands, one or more rounds of revisions. The better question is what that work should cost.
What do agencies and freelancers charge for A+ Content in 2026?
Here are the published 2026 ranges we could verify, next to our own rates. Both third-party sources sell these services themselves, so treat their ranges as market context, not neutral research.
| Deliverable | Published market range | Shaazford (flat) |
|---|---|---|
| Basic A+ Content (up to 5 modules) | $300 to $1,500 per ASIN (amzdudes); $300 to $1,000 per ASIN (Cueball Creatives) | $200 per listing |
| Premium A+ Content (up to 7 modules) | $2,500 to $8,000 for a premium build with photography and copywriting bundled in (Cueball Creatives) | $250 per listing |
| Listing images | $500 to $2,500 per ASIN for 5 to 7 images (amzdudes); $50 to $150 per image (Cueball Creatives) | $150 for 7 images, $200 for 10 |
| Brand Story | Rarely priced separately | $100 per listing |
| Brand Store | $500 to $3,000 (amzdudes); $1,000 to $8,000 (Cueball Creatives) | $1,000 per store |
| Freelancers (Fiverr, Upwork) | $20 to $200 per deliverable (amzdudes) | Not applicable |
Why are our prices lower than the market range? Discovery, variation images and two revision rounds are included, we work from one visual system per brand, and we would rather win the second project than overcharge on the first.
Want this done for your listing? A+ is $200 per listing, Premium A+ $250. Send us one listing on WhatsApp and we design the first sample at no cost.
What makes A+ Content cost more or less?
Six things move the price of an A+ project, in roughly this order:
- Basic or Premium: Premium allows up to seven modules instead of five, full-width imagery, video, hotspots and carousels.
- Photography: designing from your existing product photos costs far less than a new shoot.
- Copywriting: A+ is a sales page, and the words matter as much as the pictures.
- Languages: every extra marketplace language is a new version of the text layers and copy.
- Variations: sizes and colours that share one design are cheap; separate designs per variation are not.
- Revisions: two rounds are normal. Unlimited rounds usually mean the brief was never agreed.
Our pricing already includes discovery, variation images and two revision rounds, so the per-listing rate is the price you pay.
Is A+ Content worth paying for?
Amazon's own figure is that basic A+ Content can increase sales by up to 8%, and well-implemented Premium A+ by up to 20%, based on Amazon internal data. Those are ceilings, not promises, and they depend on traffic you already have.
Our view from designing A+ for Polish Gallery and Importer AM: A+ earns its cost fastest on listings that already get steady traffic but convert below their category. The buyer who scrolls to A+ is close to buying and has a specific doubt. Good A+ answers that doubt in order. On the prayer candles below, every module answers a practical question: will it fit my holder, how long does it burn, how do I refill it.
How long does A+ Content take to go live?
Amazon says A+ review can take up to seven business days, longer in periods of high volume, and approved content can take up to 24 hours to appear on the listing. Build that into any launch or seasonal plan: A+ for a Christmas product should be approved well before November.
Should you buy basic A+ or Premium A+?
Buy Premium A+ if your brand is eligible and the product has something worth showing at full width: craft detail, a lifestyle story, or a range to compare. Buy basic A+ if you are not yet eligible, because five approved A+ modules and a Brand Story on all your listings are what unlock Premium. Our Premium A+ guide explains the rules and how to qualify, and our Amazon design service builds both.
