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.

    • Their email to me clearly said that since we paid in July, we are good at the old price until we renew.

  • Since Ning doesn't monitor or participate in the forums, we're all better off flooding their email with our thoughts, questions and comments,  What's the point in putting anything here (which they won't read).  Just sayin'............I think that'll get someone's attention.  *wink wink*

    • Quite a few comments on their FB page - although they probably don't monitor that either (to be fair; it's difficult to hear with your head up your a***)

  • NC for Hire

    So you double the monthly plan for Ning 2.0, while refusing to migrate a 2.0 community to a 3.0 which is priced more affordably and abandon the 3.0 roadmap.  Am I missing something?

    • Nope that about covers it. Basically they suck and they have ever since they bought Ning. I'm moving my behemoth site, it's not so much the money, it's the principal at this point.  If they offered something for the increase I wouldn't care but they don't do anything and they want to double charge people. They can take their clunky out of date, error ridden platform and stuff it.

  • I'm waiting for the part where a Ning rep jumps out and yells"Gotcha!" This is a joke. Crappy service, a broken site, and now the rates more than double. This would be funny if it wasn't so sad. 


  • It's a real robbery suddenly double the amount . You want us to leave Ning or just rich , despite continuous network errors ?

    • Mode Media (aka Ning) could care less about any of us. Their own employees say they don't care about the Ning Platform, which is why 3.0 has been a skeleton for years and 2.0 is a relic that hasn't been updated in the same amount of time and their "support" is beyond a joke.

      They have done nothing but use us as their cash cow to help fund their other projects. They are not going to lower the rates, which is why they said to use the archiver to move. They'll ride out the Ning payoff until they get the last dime out of people who are stuck with no choice and then they'll dump it they way they dumped us years ago

      They have no loyalty or concern for their customers, that has been glaringly obvious for years. I've been here for over 9 years and have a huge network, I know what Ning once was verses what is has become; and it's sad because had they actually kept their promises they would have been unstoppable in the platform market, but they were more focused on sucking us dry instead of actually giving people what they were paying for. I'm moving my site, I can afford the uplift but I am not paying them another dime; I'll develop on another platform for my members that's actually up to date; instead of this clunky, non-supported relic.

    • they wont , I emailed them , I got a  NO discount cheers

      anyone curious the plus gets you only 10 gb  not sure if you can even downgrade  or not
