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.

  • I'm out of here!

  • So disappointed. As the owner of a non-profit making Ning site supporting teddy bear artists, this new pricing structure is way beyond practical for us.

    • Hello Paula, I can relate and totally understand 100% with you. We are a non-profit 501(c)3 as well. We are an online university, and other things to support our network community. We have members, leaders, and people all over the world in our family. I was told about www.socialgo.com I heard they are good. I might have to check them out. Maybe you can see about them as well. Have a prosperous night on purpose :-)

    • sounds good, do you think you can add your members 

      • Hi, I'm in the process of testing WP/Buddypress/Events Manager and another few plugins, there is a ning to buddypress plugin that moves the users/groups over but events don't migrate which at least gets part of the process done.  WP is very much a get your hands dirty setting up platform compared to ning though which I'm guessing a lot of users here won't want.

        • Have you tried the BP to Ning plugin?  I am hearing mixed results.

        • do you know if you can move friends /profiles etc

  • I am taking part in an active campaign to discourage new membership in the Ning Networks. I have been here for 8 years, and this just is not going to fly! I just paid my yearly fee 1 month ago, and won't even get my year!

    I have had "1 profile comment" written in my "awaiting approval box for 5 years (but with no comment to approve!), and have worked endlessly contacting Ning for that entire time, and they have never helped me or fixed it. and now they want to charge me $588 a year!

    It's been fun friends.... Good luck to all!

  • I'm truly upset. We are given a 30 day notice, you've more than doubled the price and it's on a platform that hasn't been upgraded in forever. Whatz wrong with this picture? You're taking advantage of the fact it will be truly difficult for us to move our sites. We wouldn't even want to move our sites if we were being treated fairly. This is a ridiculous amount to pay. If you needed to raise it you should have only done it by increments over a period of time. I will be saving all my info even if it takes me awhile to do so and moving on because you could hit us with another doubling of price whenever the mood hits you...
    • They are taking advantage, because a large percentage of us who stayed and continue being so active at creating are homebound... disabled... and they think we are so hooked on having our outlet that we will pay no matter what.
