Not in the base price, according to their own product pages read on 2026-09-20: a purchase includes one year of free updates, and lifetime updates are offered as a separate purchase listed at $20. Hullara's lifetime licence includes every future release with no second purchase, and we merge each one into your customised theme for you. Check their page before buying — pricing pages change, and this one is dated on purpose.

Is Hullara cheaper than Shrine?

Shrine is $149 one-time, or $349 for Shrine Pro, by their product pages read 2026-09-20 — and that covers one year of updates, with lifetime updates sold on top at $20.

Hullara vs Shrine: a Shrine alternative with updates included

Hullara is a Shrine alternative with updates included. Both are Shopify themes sold direct rather than through the Theme Store, and the difference a buyer feels is what happens after the purchase: Shrine's price includes one year of updates and sells lifetime updates separately (shrine.io, read 2026-09-20); Hullara includes them for as long as the licence is live, merged into your customised theme.

A resposta curta

Shrine and Hullara are both premium Shopify themes sold outside the Shopify Theme Store. Shrine is a one-time purchase that, on its own product pages, includes one year of free updates, with lifetime updates offered as a separate purchase. Hullara is sold as a one-time lifetime licence or a monthly one, and updates are included for as long as that licence is live.

Hullara é melhor para: A merchant who wants every future release included and merged into their customised theme for them, thirty days to change their mind, and one licence that activates on up to three stores — the live shop, a staging copy and a migration.
Shrine é melhor para: A merchant who already knows Shrine's design is the one they want, and who is content to treat updates after the first year as a separate purchase.

Resumindo. Shrine's price includes one year of updates and sells lifetime updates on top. Hullara's lifetime licence includes every future release, and we do the update for you: the new release is merged into your customised theme — settings, templates and your own code edits kept — and arrives as an unpublished theme you publish when ready. Shrine refunds nothing; Hullara gives thirty days, no questions asked. And one Hullara licence activates on up to three stores, so a staging copy and a migration are covered by the same purchase.

Cada linha é algo que você mesmo pode verificar. Onde o outro tema ganha, a linha diz isso.

Item	Hullara	Shrine
PriceHullara ganha aqui	$129 one-time for Core, $229 for Pro — or $19/$30 a month.	$149 for Shrine and $349 for Shrine Pro, one-time. Lifetime updates are a separate purchase, listed at $20. (shrine.io product pages, read 2026-09-20.)
Getting updates after you buyHullara ganha aqui	Included for as long as the licence is live — on a lifetime licence, forever. We update it for you: the new release is merged into your customised theme — settings, templates and your own code edits kept — and arrives as an unpublished theme you publish when ready.	“With your purchase, you’ll receive one year of free updates.” After that year, their pages point to lifetime updates as a separate purchase.
What a one-time purchase includesHullara ganha aqui	The lifetime licence includes every future release of that theme. There is no separate updates product and no second purchase after any period.	“Shrine is a one-time purchase. No recurring fees or hidden costs.” Updates beyond the first year are sold on top, listed at $20.
How long you have to change your mindHullara ganha aqui	“Thirty days from purchase, no questions asked.” On a lifetime licence and a subscription alike.	“SHRINE operates with a strict no refund policy” — all sales are final. (shrine.io refund policy, read 2026-09-30.)
What happens to your theme-editor customisationsHullara ganha aqui	Kept. An update never writes your templates or theme settings — they are copied across as they are — and a Liquid file you or a developer edited keeps your version and is named, so you know which files did not take the new release.	Their product pages do not say. We found no upgrade documentation on them to quote, so this row states only that.
What the support commitment isHullara ganha aqui	“We answer within one business day.” Published on /support.	No response time on their product pages. They may well answer quickly; it is simply not a commitment you can hold them to before buying.
Invented urgency, stock numbers and ratingsHullara ganha aqui	The features exist and are tied to a real value. A countdown takes an absolute end date the merchant sets and ends for everyone at once — no per-visitor timer, nothing that restarts on reload. The stock meter renders only when Shopify is tracking inventory, and shows Shopify’s number; there is no field to type one into. The rating block reads Shopify’s `reviews.rating` metafield and renders nothing without it.	Advertises “Cart Trust & Urgency Blocks” — “secure payment badges, trust seals, countdown timers, and free shipping indicators” — and publishes no constraint on what those values may be bound to.
What happens if you stop payingPraticamente igual	A lifetime licence is paid once and keeps working forever. A monthly licence runs to the end of the period you paid for; /legal/licence sets out what follows.	“No recurring fees” — a one-time purchase, so there is no subscription to stop.
