⚠️ Important Distinction: "Ad Astra" vs. "Astra"

It is common to confuse Ad Astra with the more famous Astra theme by Brainstorm Force.

Astra: A lightweight, multipurpose "blank canvas" theme used by millions.

Ad Astra (BoldThemes): A highly specialized, "ready-to-wear" business theme with distinct styling and bundled premium plugins.

💰 Pricing & Licensing (2026)

Marketplace: Available on ThemeForest (Envato Market).

Regular License: Typically $69. This includes the theme, all bundled premium plugins (Cost Calculator, Timeline, etc.), and lifetime updates.

Support: Includes 6 months of hands-on support from the BoldThemes team, which can be extended to 12 months for an additional fee.

⚖️ Is it Right for You?

Pros: The Cost Calculator alone saves you $30+ in separate plugin costs. It offers a very "high-end corporate" look that is hard to replicate with basic free themes.

Cons: It is tied to the Bold Builder. If you are already an expert in Elementor or Divi, you might find the learning curve for a new builder slightly annoying.

Would you like me to help you find a comparison between the Bold Builder and Elementor, or should I show you how to set up the Cost Calculator for your consulting services?
