2026 Price Adjustment

TLDR; We’re adjusting prices on all licenses effective immediately for new purchases. Existing monthly license holders will keep their current pricing through December 31, 2025, then transition to new pricing on January 1, 2026. Support & Updates renewal prices will start January 1, 2026.

We launched Blesta in 2007 with monthly licenses priced at $12.95. When we rewrote Blesta from scratch and released version 3 in 2013, we kept that same price. It’s now 2025, and that price has never changed— until now.

Over the past 12 years, we’ve made thousands of updates to Blesta, based largely on customer feedback. Many thousands of companies rely on Blesta for customer management, billing, and support, and that number continues to grow. We’ve heard from many customers that the value they receive from Blesta far exceeds the price, and due to inflation, the real cost of Blesta has actually decreased over the years. We haven’t kept pace with inflation. The Consumer Price Index shows that $12.95 in 2013 would be about $18 today. Our new pricing aligns with this reality while remaining highly competitive.

This adjustment will help us continue investing in Blesta’s future. We’re already working on significant improvements, including a completely redesigned, modern admin UI that’s coming in version 6. That and many other new and exciting updates, improvements, and integrations are planned for 2026.

New Pricing

For all new licenses: The new pricing is effective immediately for all new owned and monthly licenses purchased today or after.

For existing monthly license holders: Your current pricing will remain unchanged through December 31, 2025. Starting January 1, 2026, the new pricing will take effect.

For existing owned license holders: Support & Updates pricing will remain unchanged through December 31, 2025. Starting January 1, 2026, the new pricing will take effect.

We’re committed to keeping Blesta outstanding, continuously improving, and staying transparent with our pricing. You’re the reason Blesta exists and continues to grow. If you have questions about pricing or suggestions for Blesta, please reach out, we’re always here to discuss.
