Changes to Our Pricing Plans

Starting today, we’re bringing back our Personal, Premium, Business, and eCommerce plans – in addition to the free plan. Here’s what that looks like.

July 21, 2022

Michael Pick

Our philosophy has always been one of experimenting, learning, and adjusting. As we began to roll out our new pricing plans a couple of months back, we took note of the feedback you shared. What we heard is that some of you missed the more granular flexibility of our previous plans. Additionally, the features you needed and pricing of the new plans didn’t always align for you. This led us to a decision that we believe is the right call.

Returning to Our Familiar Plans

Starting today, we’re bringing back our Personal, Premium, Business, and eCommerce plans – in addition to the free plan. Here’s what that looks like: 

For more details, view plan information here.

What This Means for You

For many of you, this doesn’t change anything. If you’re on a WordPress Pro or Starter plan, rest assured that you’ll remain on that plan. Your feedback matters more now than ever. We’ll continue listening. Our broader goals of simplifying website building and managed WordPress hosting will continue behind the scenes,  and we’ll be sure to communicate any future updates as they become finalized. In the meantime, and as always, we welcome your thoughts and feedback.

    You don’t mention the size of Media storage. I switched to a pricier plan simply because it had more storage for photos, and yet I find many of my earlier photos don’t come up when I search for them. I sell nothing, chanrge for nothing. Simply want a platform to publish my poetry and photos.

      If you visit our pricing page, scroll down, and click on the “compare our plans” button, you will see a table that shows all of the differences between the plans (including storage space)!

      Hello @lifelessons,
      So you could go with a pricey plan on any platform. Or you could buy a physical device like an external Hard Drive that has Terabytes of space. Then you don’t have to worry about where your data is located.

        My computer is 1 Terrabyte and I have 3 Terrabyte backup drives.. but doesn’t it have to be stored on WP to remain on my blog? I have 9 years of blogs and want it all to remain intact.

          Yes, there seems to be a bit of confusion here. Or, perhaps some people DO use their blogs to store media etc that could be better stored on a physical drive.

          But just to clarify, an external drive will not help if you need more storage for your blog content. That data is stored on our servers (our “hard drives”) and that is where content needs to be if other people visiting your site are going to view it. If you are reaching the end of your allotted WordPress.com storage, I would encourage you to step up to a paid plan with more storage space.

          Let us know if anything is unclear or you have any further questions.

          Just buy a beefy external HDD and keep it connected to your computer. Then you can simply Google on how to map a network drive to your computer and probably create a hyperlink to that network drive. Then put the hyperlink in your blog. 💥

      This might sound a little extra, but you might want to create a Google Drive folder/account and store some of the previous photos there. If you include it on your blog, simply copy and paste the hyperlink to the photo (a shareable link) or make a button to link it. Balance the storage space you currently have on your site and other server based systems. I use Google Docs and Drive for everything, but also back up my items via flash drive. It helps just in case their PaaS servers crash..

      Sorry if my tech isn’t spot on, but I hope this helps in a way.

    One of the things I’ve made use of was the live chat support . . . it’s grayed out for all the plans.

    Does that mean it’s no longer offered?

    E-Mail support is OK . . . unless you’re under a time constraint and something isn’t working.

Do keep in mind that any themes or plugins you have uploaded will not work with any of the other plans you might downgrade to. So if you are currently using any, that might affect the look or functionality of your site. But your blog posts will be safe!

    Dear WordPress: I am Sheryl Ann Wilson. I originally came to you via Kathryn Calhoun, Web Coach. I had no idea/knowledge ahead of all the different platforms I was going to need other than WordPress. Sadly, life matters kept causing me to go 5 steps forward and 6 steps backward and I couldn’t get proper help. Thus, just recently, I had to let the WebCoach go. I’m on Canadian Provincial Disability and that is poverty living. Thus, I do not have enough money to pay at any level of WordPress, nor for any of the other platforms; all came to a total of $3,000/yr.

    Shopify is only a platform for products and they only are an Affiliate themselves but don’t have Affiliate Marketing and funnels for that in their program.

    WordPres, you usually get cited as the very best website, Would you possibly think of making yourself even more desired by making yourself possibly similar to say simple.io which has everything the necessary platforms provide within its website system?

    The structure and increasing dependency on technology can certainly become a feeding frenzy for greedy and selfish people thinking that to be filthy rich is the main and only purpose for their existence. Given this mindset they will rob, deceive and perpetuate all manner of deception to facilitate and justify their cryptic ends and ruthless goals. Talking about price increases etc.

    There is another way of seeing this however, and hopefully some, especially the few that matters will give this due consideration. This technology evolution is not an endgame, say it’s a journey of sorts. Having more people having allegiance to your product is way more valuable than gouging and striking every penny out of each customer. Clearly marked forces will honor the concept of capitalism which say the more subscribers the lower the cost, we’ll that’s how it used to be, hopefully greed won’t render this concept obsolete. Yes we all should be profitable in our business, but their is a difference between being profitable and the disastrous paradigm trying to work it way into the lexicon of our social contract, where one individual becomes ravenous and wickedly wealthy while the rest of us try desperately it eke our a morsel of existence just trying to keep up. This should not be in this supposedly great country. Greed should not be our undoing!

    Let us hope and pray that those currently holding the handle of power will understand that such a situation can be easily reversed and that vision and not greed will serve all our interest with a more solid foundation as we all shift our stand into the next domain of reality.

    In short, for those of us who are hopelessly confused with the words just put out here. – let wisdom, vision and compassion guide your hands into policies that serves all of us as we move into the next epoch and times.

I have no plans to make money from my blog, but I need more storage. $300 a year is a lot to pay for my “hobby.” How about a plan that costs $12.50 per month for 100GB of storage?

But now it’s $59/month if paid monthly, way higher than Shopify’s competition.

    This is a surprising and clumsy announcement. To placate a contingent of WP.com users many of whom use the free service and were outraged that the new pricing plan reduced the limits on their “Grandma’s Cooking Recipes” blogs, you reverted to the ridiculous former pricing scheme. As someone who professionally builds sites for clients, I thought the new pricing was bold and was a (correct) step toward moving WP.com into direct competition with the likes of Squarespace and Wix.

    The Block Editor, while still having some rough edges, is ready for that prime time battle with the drag-and-drop editors. The WP.com Pro Plan is as close as you get to self-hosted WP but wraps up hosting and back-end management in a similarly cohesive manner as you see with those competitors (which is why they’re so popular). The Pro plan at $15 per month, delivers a hosted WP service that provides access to css AND scripting (via plugins) at an unbeatable pricing sweet spot. Squarespace – which has been getting progressively more terrible over time – comes in at $23 per month for their equivalent. The far less code-capable and non-standards-compliant Wix is similarly priced. And, out of the box, WP.com sites dramatically outperform most of those competitors.

    So now what do we have? You can have access to css via the Premium plan ($8 per month) but no script access should you need it. For that, you have to jump all the way to the $25 per month Business plan. The now-defunct Pro plan gave you pretty much the same features as Business but for ten bucks a month less. Why not retain the Pro Plan? If the Business Plan is not materially different, eliminate it and make Pro the actual plan for business pros. Then go all guns-a-blazing after Squarespace, Wix, and the rest. Designers/developers like me will sign up clients by the boatload for a fully-hosted, Automattic-administered WP service like that at that price point. Our clients will like the price, the all-in-one package service, and the nearly full WP feature capability. And we can spin up WP.com sites in seconds.

    If nothing else, please add the Pro plan to the pricing scheme. And maybe stop listening to the I-want-my-free-stuff contingent because they aren’t the ones who will help move WP.com into a truly competitive position against the likes of Squarespace and Wix.

      To some extend I agree, at least with this post!
      I can’t recall the price of a Pro plan now, but I know if I was to expand I would more likely shift to.org and host elsewhere with my other sites for around US$80 P/A.

      But for me, this .com site is purely experimental and it will never be popular enough to justify the cost of upgrading.

    Wow…all these super bloggers able to afford the pro plan? I am happy for y’all, but why, WordPress, is the amount charged annually? I have the premium and all of those plug-ins you said I would get for free are now free WITH AN UPGRADE. That is some chicanery there.

    WordPress does realize that when you offer services that are pretty expensive and then you do not provide those services, other platforms take notice and one will come along and wipe your company off the map? I already see several trying to do just that. I know you guys boast about being the number one website hosting site but running your business through the lens of greed will only destroy you in the end and that’s just simple physics.

      Seems something has not sat well with you?
      Have you tried reaching back to their support to try to resolve it? Sure, a good rant makes us feel better, but at the end of the day, communication stops wars from happening.

        Well, I am definitely no fan of war. I have had several recent experiences done to me by corporate America that have left me wounded, financially, mentally and pretty deeply. So, I am retreating. Not giving up just backing up and collecting myself. However, this admission in no way makes any of my earlier remarks less true.

          Hi! Comments on this post will automatically close soon, but I’d like to invite you to reach out to our support. Let us know what features you’re hoping to add through plugins. Chances are we’ve already got a similar feature built into our services through Jetpack’s modules and services.

          Remember too, our managed hosting and support service is not the same thing as the free WordPress code. If you want to secure your own hosting and maintenance, you can install a copy of WordPress and add any plugins and themes you need. We have more information about that here:

    I’m glad to see that the previous plans were brought back, and that I can continue on these plans with some of my old sites that have been around awhile. When these were taken away, and the Pro plan was introduced as a “all in one” which for me wasn’t the best option since I frequently buy new websites here, I said it would be a great option between the Premium and Business plan since it would allow small businesses to take advantage of the Woocommerce thing without having to spend a small fortune. I was just in the past few days considering to buy a new domain on the Pro plan to start a new store for my craft products and ebooks I sell using 3rd party storefronts at Storenvy and Gumroad. Now that the Pro plan is no longer available, I have to rethink my whole strategy again, and now the only option if I want to use Woocommerce is the business plan. I suggest again that the Pro plan be added back between the Premium and Business plan, or better yet allow use of plugins on all paid plans and users can upgrade as needed based on storage.

    Thank you. I already bought the starter plan though…

    I think this change makes sense for many.

    I’d like to upgrade my blog arieskindred.wordpress.comto a paid Personal Plan. I took the first step and followed the links forchoosing a domain, but the subsequent steps gave me the impression that I’dhave to start a whole new blog. The next step was to choose a theme, but I don’twant to do that because my current theme is no longer available. My question is: can I get a Personal Plan formy existing blog without changing anything except the URL and the ability toadd payment collection blocks?

    Thank you, Joseph Kerrick

      Hey there! It’s totally possible to upgrade to the personal plan without purchasing a new plan. If you’re in arieskindred.wordpress.com this can be purchased via Upgrades > Plans. If you’re running into issues with that, please do reach out via https://wordpress.com/help/contact so that we can steer you in the right direction.
