Weebly Pro and Weebly Starter Price Plans Compared

Weebly Pro & Weebly Starter are the new Weebly paid price plans.

A major deviation from previous plans, these new plans are “per site” as opposed to “per account”.

Under the current plans, by default, every account has the ability to create up to 10 Free sites. You can upgrade each of the sites individually to a “Starter Plan” or a “Pro Plan”.

Weebly Designer Platform Price Drop

Weebly drops prices for designer platform

A move in the right direction, Weebly makes the designer platform more affordable.

One and a half years ago, Weebly introduced the Designer Platform. Great product and a great strategy but wrong pricing. Weebly Designer platform was launched with three plans: $7.95, $14.95 and $24.95.

None of the three plans made sense because of couple of reasons:

The new $7.95 price for unlimited pages, unlimited storage space and bandwidth closes much of the gap that has left the designer platform aloof for the last one and a half years.

The revised pricing places Weebly designer platform in a good spot for a white label service. Weebly themes had a dramatic improvement during the …

Weebly Price Changes Effective Jan 7, 2013

In a recent announcement, Weebly announced pricing changes effective Jan 7, 2013.

Trust me, not every company gives an opportunity to upgrade before an upcoming price hike. Google recently yanked the Free Google Apps for Business without a notice, catching every one by a surprise. While we do not want to debate the reasons, Weebly certainly deserves appreciation for giving a 3 week time for people to make up their mind if they would like to take advantage of old pricing.

The current Weebly Pro plan pricing

$4/month for 10 sites. Current (before Jan 7, 2013) Weebly Pro plan is per account. So, all 10 sites under the pro account are equipped with Pro features.

After Jan 7, …
