Actually, Astra is a freemium WordPress theme, which means the free version of the Astra is available for everyone at the official WordPress theme repository. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone can download the free Astra and try out the initial framework, and free features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Astra free version is also the most popular WordPress theme, right behind the official themes at the WordPress theme repository.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the free, Astra Pro offers a ton of advanced features for Pro WordPress users. The Pro-addon for Astra enables several pro modules and unlocks the potential to create any great site with WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Astra Premium theme features include<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Megamenu<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blog layouts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Site layouts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Built-in support for Elementor, Beaver builder, Guttenberg, Brizy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Extensive WooCommerce features<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Page headers with various design<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Better typography<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Custom Layouts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flexible footer Layouts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hooks &amp; filters<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>LMS integration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>White label<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Premium support<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And more<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a closer look at each of the elements mentioned above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Astra Pro Theme Installation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Astra Pro works in conjunction with the free Astra theme, you first need to install the free copy of Astra from the official <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/themes\/astra\/\" target=\"_blank\">WordPress Theme Repository<\/a>.

You can create and achieve any kind of design with WordPress sites with modern drag and drop builders such as Elementor, Beaver Builder, WordPress&#8217;s Gutenberg, and Brizy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating a custom design from scratch for your website using WordPress drag and drop builders is a tiring process. You may end up wasting a fair share of your time building the site and the end result may not be satisfactory at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress Theme templates are a great choice for starters, they come pre-designed with all dummy content and you can edit and replace them with your content. Astra comes with a good number of starter templates for various WordPress drag and drop builders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Elementor and Beaver Builder, there are more than 100 starter templates for various niches, including <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Restaurant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Travel agency<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Organic store<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Painter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Coach<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Business<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Church<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Yoga  instructor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Makeup studio<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Industry<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Course<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>University<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gym &amp; fitness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>and more<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>However, for Gutenberg there are and only around 20 templates, whereas for Brizy builder there are some 40 starter templates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all starter templates are available for use by Astra Pro, as they require an Agency license to access. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"398\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/import-templates-astra.jpg?resize=700%2C398&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"astra events templates\" class=\"wp-image-15318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/import-templates-astra.jpg?w=700&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/import-templates-astra.jpg?resize=300%2C171&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/import-templates-astra.jpg?resize=480%2C273&amp;ssl=1 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To use any starter template, all you need to do is select a template of your choice and choose import complete site or import only the home template.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"357\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/site-template-import.jpg?resize=600%2C357&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"importing template in astra\" class=\"wp-image-15319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/site-template-import.jpg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/site-template-import.jpg?resize=300%2C179&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/site-template-import.jpg?resize=480%2C286&amp;ssl=1 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you choose the import site options, you&#8217;ll be prompted with a set of options to import.

Unlike, all other themes which I&#8217;ve used in the past the theme options area is altogether unique. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s minimal, no fancy buttons, no tabs, no checkboxes, just plain and simple one page theme options area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Astra, everything is configured using the Theme Customizer section, except a few sections, such as creating custom layouts, page headers, and white label settings. The entire set of options under the theme options area are just links to individual theme customizer settings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe this is a good approach to stick to WordPress Theme customizer API, which not only allows the feature to preview live changes but also keeps things organized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, all those Astra Pro modules are required to be activated once. You have the option to deactivate any of the Pro-addon, which you&#8217;re not using on your WordPress site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the sake of this detailed Astra theme review, I&#8217;ve activated them all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Astra Theme Customizer features<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"430\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/astra-theme-demo.jpg?resize=700%2C430&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Astra WordPress theme demo customizer\" class=\"wp-image-15240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/astra-theme-demo.jpg?w=700&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/astra-theme-demo.jpg?resize=300%2C184&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/astra-theme-demo.jpg?resize=480%2C295&amp;ssl=1 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re not familiar with WordPress customer API, it was introduced with WordPress 3.4 that allows you to preview live customization to your active WordPress theme. The Astra theme customizer section is primarily divided into 6 sections. I&#8217;m going to peek into each section of the theme customizer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Global <\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Global theme settings simply refer to sitewide theme settings where you can control the common elements which are associated with the home page and also the other common pages of the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"380\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/global-theme-settings.jpg?resize=380%2C400&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"astra global settings\" class=\"wp-image-15243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/global-theme-settings.jpg?w=380&amp;ssl=1 380w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/global-theme-settings.jpg?resize=285%2C300&amp;ssl=1 285w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary subsections <strong>typography <\/strong>lets you control the base typography for the body font. Apart from base system fonts including Helvetica, Verdana, Arial, Times, Georgia, and Courier, Astra theme comes with integrated Google font support. The theme allows you to select multiple font variations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are options to configure even line height, bottom margin for paragraphs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not just H1 or H2, you can select individual fonts family for all the <strong>headings <\/strong>from H1 to H6. Of course, selecting different font families for individual headings are baseless but yes, you&#8217;ve got the option if you like to do so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, I like the text-transform feature here, where you can automatically set the text of any of your heading to transform into upper case, lower case, or capitalize without messing the actual text of the heading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Colors for every individual element of your WordPress site can be configured including body text, link, link hover, heading, and background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The site layout can be set to full width or boxed not just fixed width, you can manually set it as per your requirements. Individually, you can also choose to configure separate container layout for different site areas, such as pages, blog posts, or archives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"543\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/scroll-to-top.jpg?resize=400%2C543&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"how to enable scroll to top feature astra theme\" class=\"wp-image-15250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/scroll-to-top.jpg?w=400&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/scroll-to-top.jpg?resize=221%2C300&amp;ssl=1 221w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Scroll to the top is integrated with the theme, and you choose to make it appear only on desktop, mobile, or both.

Once you finish the white label settings, all you need to do is check the enable white label and press save changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"387\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/blogosene-thumb.jpg?resize=700%2C387&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"custom wordpress theme\" class=\"wp-image-15312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/blogosene-thumb.jpg?w=700&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/blogosene-thumb.jpg?resize=300%2C166&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/blogosene-thumb.jpg?resize=480%2C265&amp;ssl=1 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The white-label branding removes all the instances of Astra Pro branding, as you can see the themes section of WordPress admin shows my custom branding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"543\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/blogosense-pro-branding.jpg?resize=700%2C543&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"custom branding blogosense\" class=\"wp-image-15313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/blogosense-pro-branding.jpg?w=700&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/blogosense-pro-branding.jpg?resize=300%2C233&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/blogosense-pro-branding.jpg?resize=480%2C372&amp;ssl=1 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, the theme options area is completely revamped with all custom titled and the link to Astra support and community pages are removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"226\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/plugin-white-label.jpg?resize=700%2C226&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"custom branding for wordpress plugins\" class=\"wp-image-15314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/plugin-white-label.jpg?w=700&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/plugin-white-label.jpg?resize=300%2C97&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/plugin-white-label.jpg?resize=480%2C155&amp;ssl=1 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In case if you need to remove white-label settings, you can do so by disabling and enabling the Astra Pro plugin from your WordPress dashboard or in my case &#8220;<strong>Blogosense Superior<\/strong>&#8221; and all your white label settings will be replaced by default Astra branding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Extend Astra with more WordPress Plugins<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"455\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/extend-astra.jpg?resize=600%2C455&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"extend astra theme features\" class=\"wp-image-15315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/extend-astra.jpg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/extend-astra.jpg?resize=300%2C228&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/extend-astra.jpg?resize=480%2C364&amp;ssl=1 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m surprised by the number of efforts put in by Brainstorm Force to make Astra Pro full of possibilities, apart from amazing built-in functionalities, Astra has a lot to offer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re using Astra Pro on your site, you can choose to further extend the functionalities of Astra with additional plugins available for free at the official WordPress repository.

Since Astra comes with built-in support for WooCommerce, therefore I decided to test the load time performance of my test setup with the Astra Pro theme and WooCommerce, together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve installed WooCommerce on my setup, and also posted 25 WooCommerce sample products and made the WooCommerce shop page as the home page of my site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rest apart from WooCommerce products, default pages, there was no other content on my test setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the third Pingdom website load time test for the Astra Pro theme with WooCommerce, the results were more than satisfactory to me. With a healthy <strong>90 performance grade<\/strong>, and together with WooCommerce my Astra Pro theme set up the test site loaded <strong>under a second<\/strong> <strong>(867 milliseconds)<\/strong>, which is actually an excellent performance for an eCommerce store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My test site requested total <strong>38 files<\/strong> and the page size was <strong>254 KB.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After conducting all the three load time tests for Astra, I came to the conclusion that the team behind Astra, really did an incredible job. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only they managed to make Astra theme lite enough to load super fast but they&#8217;ve also ensured better performance and brilliant compatibility with the other popular WordPress plugins such as WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, Elementor, Gutenberg and LifterLMS to refer a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Astra Theme Support<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary reason why any WordPress site owner opts for a premium theme is not just because he\/she is behind the modern features or eye-popping designs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, they want real people behind the theme to help them with meaningful response and in a timely manner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The internet is filled with so-called multi-purpose WordPress theme, and Themeforest is the best place to find such junk. Well, I should save my thoughts about Themeforest for some other day. However, the number one issue with such themes is poor support or no meaningful support at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The definition of an ideal WordPress theme, according to me, starts with a well-classified and thorough knowledge base, backed by robust support from actual people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While using the Astra theme on my test setup, I&#8217;ve encountered an issue with the starter templates. I looked it on the <a href=\"https:\/\/wpastra.com\/docs\/?bsf=1072\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Astra theme knowledge base <\/a>on their website, but I couldn&#8217;t find any help related to my issue.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I raised a ticket on their website, and they responded to my ticket with links to the helpful article which didn&#8217;t resolve my issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later I provided them with my WordPress login credentials of the site, and after an hour they reverted me back on my ticket, with my issue resolved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/brainstorm-force-support.jpg?resize=900%2C819&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"how is support of astra pro theme review\" class=\"wp-image-15341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/brainstorm-force-support.jpg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/brainstorm-force-support.jpg?resize=300%2C273&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/brainstorm-force-support.jpg?resize=768%2C699&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/brainstorm-force-support.jpg?resize=480%2C437&amp;ssl=1 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from this issue, in a duration of some 40 days of usage, I&#8217;ve never encountered any issue with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I cannot say that the people behind the Astra theme are doing an excellent job at providing support, on the basis of a mere single event, but they were to the point, and helpful to me, as a customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"499\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/brainstorm-face-support-form.jpg?resize=800%2C499&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"astra ticket based support\" class=\"wp-image-15342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/brainstorm-face-support-form.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/brainstorm-face-support-form.jpg?resize=300%2C187&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/brainstorm-face-support-form.jpg?resize=768%2C479&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/brainstorm-face-support-form.jpg?resize=320%2C200&amp;ssl=1 320w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/brainstorm-face-support-form.jpg?resize=400%2C250&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogosense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/brainstorm-face-support-form.jpg?resize=480%2C299&amp;ssl=1 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However I would like to mention how I felt the moment I opened up the form to raise a support ticket online at wpastra.

After using the Astra WordPress theme for good 40+ days, I can boldly say that Astra is not going to disappoint you period <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s one WordPress theme that you can use on any of your WordPress sites, the theme is simple enough to fit in as a personal blog, capable enough to be used as any company\/service site, and enhanced enough to be used as a full-fledged eCommerce portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-2 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"http:\/\/blogosense.com\/go\/astra\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Try Astra Demo<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"http:\/\/blogosense.com\/go\/astra\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy Astra Theme Now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Astra WordPress Theme FAQs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1589898568454\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Astra is a free or paid WordPress theme?<br \/><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Both, there&#8217;s a free version of Astra available for everyone at WordPress.org, if you&#8217;re looking to create your personal website, go with free Astra.<br \/><br \/>For commercial WordPress sites, I would recommend you to go with Astra Pro, as you may require all the advanced features.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1590127602637\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><br \/>What&#8217;s the cost of the Astra Pro theme?<br \/><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">There are two types of licenses offered for Astra Pro buyers, Annual and Lifetime<br \/><br \/>Under Annual license, there are three types of licensing<br \/>1.
