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:
- 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.
- 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.

How do you migrate from 2.0 to 3.0 ? I keep asking ning and they will not tell me , and I ask how much would I lose from 2.0 to 3.0.
I don't want my members to lose all there work.
I do not want to pay 59. a month for 2.0, and I had know problems with 3.0.
I have someone who wants to take over my 2.0. All is working out for good.
They stopped 2-to-3 migrations over two years ago and 3.0 was never completed. You're stuck (and yes, it sucks)
The refund Policy says they will not refund any unused portion of your Network if you cancel.
I know 3 local people that have Ning Mini Networks. These will be absolutely discontinued.
At least these folks with no options should receive a refund!
Thank you, Shadow. I CAN AFFORD the hiked prices but refuse to continue with a company that continues to destroy businesses and people who work so hard to build the "little" they do have. Excellence must always be the signature to a company's greatness. This is not true with NING as they keep repeating poor business ethics. I have THREE Nng sites. :/
You said the right words.
I can understand creators agony here.. But imagine about creators from other countries like me. The ever increasing dollar exchange rates is making me pay double the amount (I started with Rs. 8000 and now I am paying about Rs. 17000. Now with increased price I will have to pay Rs. 42,000 - that is like $ 42,000 for us!) . I requested Ning to charge us in Indian rupees- several other companies are doing that, in the beginning they said they would consider it, but they never did.
If it were only 600, I would have paid happily. But Rs.42,000 is too much for us.
I tried to archive my content, but it is not working properly. If I leave, years of my work will go waste.
How do non-profit educational sites like mine cope with this?
Kind of a wild idea, but We should all just pitch in and Buy Ning from those who currently control it. At this rate they are running it into the ground at our expense. Who else wants to chip in and try to purchase Ning?
Join my group on Facebook to discuss it and other possibilities privately.
