Blesta Pricing Update 2025: What It Means for Hosting Providers

If you own a hosting company, you may have noticed that Blesta just increased its prices. When I originally saw this on the LowEntTalk, my first thought was "Uh oh, this is going to impact a lot of small web hosting companies."

Let's discuss what changed, why it matters and what you can do about it -- all in simple, straightforward language.

What Changed with Blesta​

Blesta, billing software that many web hosts use, now costs more. This is the new pricing:

• Branded Monthly License: $17.95/month

• Unbranded Monthly License: $20.95/month

• Flex Monthly License: $23.95/month

• Owned Branded License (one-time): $350

• Owned Unbranded License: $425

• Owned Flex License: $500

So yes, it is more expensive than the previous pricing.

The Reason Behind the Price Increase​

Blesta didn't shout a lot to the community about the price increase, but people in the hosting community presume it’s because:

• They wanted to align with other billing solution prices,
• They’ve added a lot of features, which causes the software to cost more to maintain,
• And, this is probably what they needed to do to make the product long run sustainable.

All seem reasonable, right? Software goes up in price just like everything else does.

Why This Has Impacts to Web Hosts​

Even a slight price adjustment can affect your profit margin. If you are even running thin margins on your hosting company, paying a few dollars extra will make an impact.

You need to think about what license to purchase:

• Monthly plans are affordable, but over time, you will pay more money,
• Owned licenses are expensive upfront but will save you in the long run,
• Branded or non branded - pay more if you want to remove the Blesta name
• Flex licenses are best any time you use multiple servers or cloud setups.

Now that overall prices are up, the differences in these options are more important. You may want to reconsider your billing software.

Ask yourself a few quick questions:

• Are you planning to stay with Blesta for a multiple years?
• Are you willing to pay more in the future?
• Are you getting a good value for your money (features, automation, support)?

If you don't know the answers to those questions, it may be time to evaluate other tools — or at least adjust your budget accordingly.

Conclusion​

Blesta’s price increase is more than a price change; it is a reminder that software is a cost of doing business.

If you are an existing Blesta customer, take time to see if this is going to affect your bottom line. If you are a new customer, choose a billing panel that aligns with your budget, as well as your needs.

In short: know your tools, know your costs, and plan accordingly. This is how you keep control when the costs go up.
