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.
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:
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.

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.
LikeLiked by 8 people
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
