A search for the process $e^+e^- to eta^prime$ has been performed with the SND detector at the VEPP-2000 $e^+e^-$ collider. The data were accumulated at the center-of-mass energy of $957.78pm 0.06$ MeV with an integrated luminosity of about 2.9 pb$^{
-1}$. For reconstruction of the $eta^prime$ meson five decay chains have been used: $eta^{prime}toetapi^+pi^-$ followed by the $eta$ decays to $gammagamma$ and $3pi^0 $, and $eta^{prime} to etapi^0pi^0$ followed by the $eta$ decays to $pi^+pi^-pi^0$, $gammagamma$, and $3pi^0$. As a result, the upper limit has been set on the $eta^prime$ electronic width: $Gamma_{eta^{prime}to e^+e^-} < 0.0020$ eV at the 90% confidence level.
