Getting your STUDIO site SEO-ready

We would like to inform you about changes to the pricing of some of our plans and the discontinuation of old plans. This is important information, and we kindly ask that you read it carefully until the end.

Overview of pricing changes

Due to popular demand, we will be launching version control on May 1, 2023, along with a change in our pricing.

Over the past year, we have continuously introduced new features, expanding the range of websites that designers can create with STUDIO. We remain committed to making further improvements in the future.

However, due to recent market trends, infrastructure costs have significantly increased. In order to ensure the long-term sustainability of our services, we will be revising the pricing of some of our plans.

What is changing

1) Release of the widely requested "Version Control" feature

Version Control, which is useful for backing up and restoring project data, will be released at the same time as the pricing change.

With Version Control, users can check the past status (version) of data in the Design Editor up to a certain period of time, and restore it when necessary.

※ We plan to extend Version Control to CMS by the end of this year.

Plan	Days limit
Free	1 day
Starter	7 days
CMS	30 days
Business	360 days

2) Doubling of CMS item limit for the CMS plan

The maximum number of CMS items that can be published under the CMS plan will be doubled from 1,000 to 2,000.

Plan	Before change	After change
Free	1,000 items	100 items
Starter	0 items	0 items
CMS	1,000 items	2,000 items
Business	10,000 items	10,000 items

※ The CMS item limit for the Free plan will change to 100.※ The Starter plan is recommended for websites not requiring a CMS, such as landing pages.

3) Introduction of new writer permissions for the CMS plan (up to 3 members)

Writer permissions, which was previously available only under Business plans, is now also available for CMS plans.

Users with writer permissions have access to the project's CMS dashboard only, preventing unintended changes to the design data. This feature will be especially useful for projects with multiple collaborators.

Under the CMS plan, writer permissions can be granted to up to 3 members. If you need to invite additional writers, please consider upgrading to the Business plan, which has no limit on the number of writers you can invite.

4) Changes in plan pricing

Monthly Fee

Plan	Before change	After change
Starter	$12	$14
CMS	$24	$32
Business	$56	$56

Annual Fee

Plan	Before change	After change
Starter	$108（$9/month）	$108（$9/month）
CMS	$216（$18/month）	$312（$26/month）
Business	$588（$49/month）	$588（$49/month）

Fees for the Starter plan (paid monthly) and CMS plan (paid monthly and annual) will change.

※ Fees for the Business and Starter plans (paid annually) will remain the same.

※ Prices include tax.

5) Discontinuation of old plans

To ensure smooth delivery of future features, starting April 30, 2023, the old plans (BASIC and PRO) that were available for subscription until February 28, 2022, will be discontinued.

Projects currently subscribed to the old plans will be automatically migrated to the Starter or CMS plans, effective May 1, 2023.

BASIC Plan → Starter Plan
PRO Plan → CMS Plan

Old plans	Migrated plans	Prices after change
BASIC, paid monthly	Starter, paid monthly	$12 → $14
BASIC, paid annually	Starter, paid annually	$108（$9/month）
PRO, paid monthly	CMS, paid monthly	$32
PRO, paid annually	CMS, paid annually	$312（$26/month）

To minimize the impact on websites currently in operation, we will automatically migrate them to the corresponding new plan.

If you are currently using the CMS under the BASIC plan, you will not be able to publish new CMS items after the migration to the Starter plan. However, with this automatic migration, you will still be able to update the CMS items that you have already published. We recommend upgrading your plan or updating your CMS design at your earliest convenience.
