Hi @klubjunk @ear @mburgos Just to give you all a reminder that if you have had a Micro, Personal, Pro or Team plan before December 19, the hosting plans are discounted to you for 50% off.
This discount will stay on that sites hosting subscription forever or until you remove the hosting subscription from the site.
However, once July 2017 is here, all new hosting plans added to your sites will not be discounted.
Also, to address the “money grab” comment, many community members have expressed the same feeling whenever we added a new feature with an extra add-on price tag with it. In response we surveyed community members and researched competitor pricing for several months. We made sure to announce this pricing change one month before it was launched. We are also giving community members discounts until July 2017.
To further breakdown the pricing…
Old pricing for CMS (monthly):
CMS hosting - $10
editor branding - $5
SSL - $5
Extra CMS items - $10 (per 500 items)
Extra Collaborators - $6 (per extra seat)
Total = $68/month (if you include 1,500 extra CMS items and 2 extra seats)
New pricing for CMS (monthly):
CMS hosting - $20
editor branding - $0
SSL - $0
Extra CMS items - $0 (up to 2,000 items)
Extra Collaborators - $0 (up to 3 seats)
Total = $20/month
If you would like to discuss this further, I would love to setup a time to talk over Google Hangouts
