Pricing
What a licence costs
Not yet decided — and rather than leave a blank page up, here is the shape the pricing takes, which is settled, and the policies around it, which are also settled. The numbers are the only open part.
Prices are not set yet. Every figure on this page comes from our plan catalogue, and the money lives in Stripe. Nothing here is a price we invented for the page — where a number is missing, it is missing because it has not been decided.
Pricing coming soon
There are no published plans to show yet. The structure below is decided — bundle or single plugin, one, five or unlimited production sites, billed yearly — and the amounts are published here the moment they exist.
The plan catalogue could not be reached for this build.
How buying works
The parts that are already decided
- Bundle or one plugin
- Most people arrive through one plugin and buy one licence. The bundle exists for when a second one would already cost more than everything.
- Development and staging sites are free
- A staging site does not consume a licence slot. Neither does localhost, an IP address, a .local or .test domain, or the staging subdomain your host gave you.
- A multisite network is one site
- One WordPress install, one wp-admin, one update check — one site. Activation happens at the network level.
- Yearly, and the price you joined at is the price you keep
- A price is never edited, only retired. An existing licence keeps pointing at the terms it was bought under.
- Fourteen days to change your mind
- Long enough to install it on a real site and find out. A failed card gets a fourteen-day grace period too, because a failed card is usually an expired card.
The long version
Each of those is a rule with a page behind it. The one worth reading before you buy anything is the last: when a licence lapses, the plugin keeps working.
- Activating a licence — Where the licence key goes, what the key looks like, what each error message means, and why the free plugins never ask you for one.
- When a licence expires — Your site keeps working. An expired licence loses updates, support and hosted credits — it never disables a plugin, hides your settings or deletes your data.
- What counts as a site — One WordPress install is one site, however many addresses it answers on. What we collapse, what we keep separate, and which cases are free.
- Development and staging sites — Staging never consumes a licence slot. The full list of what we detect, why staging-cafe.com is charged as a real site, and what to do if we get it wrong.
- Moving a licence — Freeing a slot and using it somewhere else, changing domain, going from staging to live, and what to do when the old site is already gone.
- Multisite networks — One WordPress network counts as one site, however many subsites it has. Activate at the network level, and what subdomain subsites do to detection.
Want the number when there is one?
The free plugins land on WordPress.org first, and Pro follows. Neither has a date worth printing yet — so leave an address and we will tell you when the amounts are decided.
