Today, we've added notices on the pricing page and the customer dashboard to make everyone aware that we will increase the prices of our subscription plans in January 2026. We wanted to give everyone a two-month heads-up about this, so if you were planning to make a purchase you have enough time to think it through before the new prices come into effect.
We won't be discussing what the new prices will be in this post, but we do want to make clear that these prices only apply to newly started plans and alterations to existing plans (meaning you upgrade or downgrade the plan you already have active).
So if you're already subscribed, nothing changes for you; the price you've been paying will remain the same. But if you upgrade or downgrade your plan after January 2026, you will face the higher prices, so if you were planning to alter your plan, we recommend doing it before the new pricing comes into effect.
For those who are not subscribed and have instead been paying manually either via PayPal or Crypto, we will continue to honour the pricing you have been paying as long as you're still renewing the plan before it ends, and we may offer some grace period beyond that at our own discretion.
We know that pricing increases suck, and that is partly why we've kept most of our prices the same since 2020. For example, the starter plan pricing beginning at $2.99 USD has remained at that price since January 2020. That plan has offered great value, and it will continue to do so after it increases in price from January 2026.
If you're wondering why we're increasing prices, as you probably know, things have gotten more expensive since 2020. Whether that's advertising, software licenses, hosting or energy, our costs have gone up in all these areas, and while we did bake in a healthy margin at the start, the fact is, with inflation being very high over the past several years we now need to adjust our pricing to cover our costs.
And since we do not increase our prices for our current customers who are holding active subscriptions, it does mean we need to predict the future and adjust pricing ahead of our needs. However this does mean our pricing strategy has a benefit for our customers, loyalty is rewarded through our fixed prices, whether you stay subscribed for a few months or many years, the price you paid at the beginning is the same price you pay now. New customers are not getting a better deal than you.
So that's the update for today, just to reiterate, the pricing changes will come into effect in January 2026 and only apply to newly started or altered subscriptions after that date. Any subscription started today will remain on the current lower pricing while your subscription remains active.
Thanks for reading, and have a wonderful weekend.
