+description: From 9 August 2026, Ryot Pro costs more. If you already pay for it, your price does not change - not now, not at any future increase.

+
+From 9 August 2026, Ryot Pro costs more than it used to. Cloud goes from $3 to $6 a
+month. Self-hosted goes from $2 to $4.
+
+If you are already paying for Ryot, none of that applies to you. You keep the price you
+signed up at, for as long as your subscription stays active. There is nothing you need
+to do, nothing to migrate, and no action required on your side.
+
+## The new prices
+
+Ryot Pro is sold in two product types, and both are changing. All amounts are in USD and
+exclusive of any taxes that apply where you live.
+
+**Cloud**, hosted by me at [ryot.io](https://ryot.io):
+
+- Monthly: $3 becomes $6
+- Yearly: $30 becomes $50
+
+**Self-hosted**, where you run Ryot on your own server:
+
+- Monthly: $2 becomes $4
+- Yearly: $20 becomes $35
+- Lifetime: $60 becomes $120
+
+Self-hosting Ryot itself is still free. The application is open source, and this change
+does not move any existing free functionality behind the paid tier. Pro is a layer on
+top of that, and it stays optional.
+
+## Why I am doing this
+
+The old prices were not the result of a calculation. I set them when Ryot was a side
+project I maintained between other things, and I picked numbers that felt small enough
+that nobody would think twice about them. $3 a month was priced to be ignored. It was
+never priced to pay for anything.
+
+What it actually has to pay for became clearer over time. Servers and databases for the
+cloud version. Bills from the external data providers Ryot queries for every movie, book,
+show, and game you track. Payment processing, which takes a fixed cut per transaction and
+therefore eats a genuinely silly percentage of a $3 charge. Support, which is me, most
+days, before and after other work.
+
+The larger reason is the one I wrote about in
+[why I am rewriting Ryot](/blog/why-i-am-rewriting-ryot). That rewrite is a bet - roughly
+2000 commits of it - that Ryot is worth building properly rather than maintaining
+indefinitely in whatever hours are left over. I want to work on it full time. I want the
+bug you report to be fixed that week, not whenever I next surface. I want to keep the
+cloud version running for years without quietly hoping the hosting bill stays small.
+
+At $3 a month, that arithmetic never closes. At $6 it starts to. That is the whole
+reason, and I would rather say it plainly than dress it up as an improvement to your
+plan.
+
+## What this means if you already pay
+
+Everything below is policy, not a promotion. It is the same commitment described on the
+[pricing promise](/pricing-promise) page, and it applies to this price change and to
+every one after it.
+
+- **If your subscription started before 9 August 2026**, you keep that exact rate for as
+  long as the subscription stays active. Your renewals continue to be charged at the
+  price you originally signed up at. I do not move existing customers onto new pricing.
+- **If you bought a lifetime license**, it is yours permanently. No renewal, no expiry,
+  nothing to re-purchase.
+- **If you cancel and later come back**, you return at whatever the price is then. The
+  old rate belongs to the old subscription and does not survive it.
+- **If you are new**, the prices above are what you pay, and the same promise applies to
+  you from your first payment onwards.
+
+I would rather charge new customers more than break the deal I made with the people who
+paid for this first.
+
+## Questions
+
+**Will my renewal be charged at the new price?**
+
+No. An active subscription keeps renewing at the rate it started on.
+
+**Do I need to do anything to keep my price?**
+
+No. Nothing changes on your account, and there is no form to fill or plan to re-select.
+Keeping your subscription active is the entire requirement.
+
+**What if I cancel and resubscribe later?**
+
+You come back at the price current on that day. If you are unsure about cancelling, it
+is worth knowing that this is the one thing that ends the old rate.
+
+**I bought a lifetime license. Is it affected?**
+
+Not at all. Lifetime means lifetime.
+
+**Does this change anything about self-hosting Ryot for free?**
+
+No. The open source application stays free to self-host, and nothing that is free today
+moves behind Pro because of this change.
+
+**Something on my bill looks wrong. What do I do?**
+
+Send it through the [contact form](/#contact) with the address you signed up with, and I
+will look at it directly.
