Current status of the Ning Platform is always available on the Ning Status Blog.

Update:  This has been rolled back.  We will not be proceeding with the price increases to Ning Plus and Pro or discontinuing grandfathered Ning Mini subscriptions at this time.  More information on this can be found here.

As a continuation of the adjustments to our offered plans we began at the start of this year, we’re making the following changes to the plans offered for Ning 2.0, effective October 1, 2016:

  1. Retiring the Ning Mini plan.  We discontinued new Mini subscriptions in October 2012.  After keeping your Mini subscription and rates the same for nearly 4 years, we are now discontinuing all existing Ning Mini subscriptions.  Mini Network Creators will have the choice of upgrading to the Ning Plus or Ning Pro plans or canceling their network. Mini networks we don’t receive a response from prior to October 1st will be canceled and locked at the end of their current bill cycle.
  2. Increasing Ning Plus and Pro prices.  After five years, we are now raising our rates for both the Ning Plus and Pro plans, which have remained the same since July 2011.  Plus Network Creators will be able opt into the new Plus rates or cancel.  Pro Network Creators will be able to downgrade to Plus, opt into the new Pro rates, or cancel.  Plus and Pro networks we don’t receive a response from prior to October 1st will renew at the new rates, beginning their first bill cycle after October 1st, and will continue to renew until we receive a formal request for cancellation via phone or email.

In addition to the notification emails that went out today, we’ll be reaching out again shortly in subsequent email reminders with customized links that will allow you to accept this price increase or cancel your current plan.  In the meantime, please take a look at the FAQs below.  They should answer any questions you have about this, but we’ll do our best to clarify if they don’t.

How do I find out when my subscription renews?

You can find out what your bill cycle date is and when your subscription renews by logging into your Ning.com account, clicking the "See Billing & Invoice History" link, and viewing your invoices.

I’m on Ning 3.0, will my subscription fee go up, too?

No, we do not have plans to raise Ning 3.0 prices at this time. 

My Ning Plus/Pro – Annual subscription just renewed in July.  When will I see the new rates?

Your current subscription and its rates are valid through the end of your current bill cycle, through July 2017.  You will only see the new rates once your subscription renews next summer. 

My Ning Plus/Pro – Monthly subscription is set to renew September 20th.  When will I see the new rates?

Your subscription and its rates will be valid through the end of that bill cycle, through October 20th.  You will see the new rates once your October invoice posts.

What about add-on pricing?

There is not any change to add-on pricing or plans to change add-on pricing or subscriptions at this time.

I don’t want to continue my network.  How do I get my content?

You can archive your network's content with the Ning Network Archiver.  Head to My Network > Content > Archive on your network to install Adobe Air and the Ning Network Archiver on your computer.  More information about archiving your content can be found here.

    • but is not so simpel as ning pretend , i have a dearest small group of members together we donate to keep the site, we became friends, all the vids and collected photo's, information, i can cry ,,but hey who cares right not NING. im sooo mad...

      • i cant believe they are so ruthless , when the site is so out of date 

  • can't believe this , i just change my network from pro to plus .because of the prices.

    and now i will pay the same again as pro ... what a dissapointment.. didnt you knew that last weeks ? i pay annual ,,thank god. but next year im off i quess, cant pay it anymore... thanks Ning.

  • Can you maybe confirm what additional service or features we will be getting for such a hefty price increase? Some of us can't afford to be paying double for the same thing and unfortunately will have no choice but to leave.

    • I highly doubt there's going to be anything additional for the money, this is Ning, which once was great but now it's nothing more than the home of the uncompleted, out of date platforms.

      • Unfortunately there just aren't any alternatives I've found which fit what I'm doing with my site, so now I'm going to have to look at closing it down.

  • Anyone know how you can tell if your on 2 or 3

    • NC for Hire

      Sharon, good question. Probably the quickest way is to give one of us your site URL, and we can tell you.

      Or, compare these dashboard screen shots. If there's an easier way, I've never noticed. Ning 3.0 has a distinctive green bar at top for Tools.

      If you have 2.0, you will see "Ning Announcements" about the rates under your dashboard.

      • thanks def 2 then, thats weird I thought i had 3  , obviously not 

    • If you don't know, then you have a 2.0.  If you had a 3.0, you would remember migrating...........and the features that were never built out, like Events
