Read off WordPress.com’s own pricing page, last checked 22 Oct 2026.

Per site, in US dollars before tax. Free, Personal, Premium, Business and Commerce, billed monthly or yearly (two- and three-year terms are also sold at a lower monthly rate). The yearly figures are the per-month price when a year is paid up front; monthly billing is more than double on every plan. Annual plans include a domain free for the first year; monthly plans do not. The Free plan carries WordPress.com ads and allows no plugins. Plugins start on Personal. SEO tools and payment buttons start on Premium. Business adds staging, SFTP and email marketing (MailPoet, 500 subscribers); Commerce adds the WooCommerce store tools. A transaction fee on payments taken through the site falls from 10% on Free to 0% on Commerce. No free trial; a refund policy is offered but the window is not stated on the page. Enterprise (WordPress VIP) is quoted. Each extra site is another plan.

Who it suits

Built for: Someone who wants real WordPress (plugins, themes, their own code on Business) with hosting, backups and updates handled, from a free blog up to a WooCommerce store.

Weak at: Monthly billing is more than twice the yearly rate, the free plan shows WordPress.com ads and allows no plugins, bookings and multilingual sites are not on the page, and payments taken on the cheaper plans carry a transaction fee of up to 8%.
