No more seat-based pricing

Today with the launch of Nordcraft 2.0 we’re removing seat-based pricing from Nordcraft.

Previously, the Nordcraft Startup plan cost $29 per month for one seat, with each additional team member costing another $29 per month. And when you reached a cap of three seats, you had to move up to the Nordcraft Scaleup plan, which started at $479 per month for four team members.

At the heart of Nordcraft’s vision is collaboration, and so we wanted to introduce a new pricing model to make the collaboration experience of building amazing websites as smooth, fast and cost effective as possible.

Starting today, we’re removing all seat-based pricing from Nordcraft and removing the subscription model altogether. Now, you only pay for hosting which starts at just $9 per month. This means that you can invite as many collaborators as you want to your Nordcraft projects completely free of charge. And if you choose to keep the nordcraft.site domain and Nordcraft branding, then hosting is 100% free.

Managing an ever-growing number of subscriptions is a chore

The technology we use on a daily basis is overflowing with subscription-based pricing models, and we're getting tired of it. Too often we decide to keep paying for a subscription because there’s either so much friction surrounding canceling and resubscribing, or we don’t know when we might need to use that service again. You could downgrade a subscription one month, only to find that you need to upgrade again the next month.

More people than ever can build

With the advancements in agentic coding and the launch of Nordcraft’s new AI Assistant, more people than ever have access to the tools to collaborate and build exciting projects together. As a result, it no longer feels right to talk about developers and designers as separate entities, let alone sell a subscription model based on “developer seats”.

By removing the barriers of seats and labels, and by opening up each Nordcraft project to unlimited collaborators, we believe we’ll see you build more creative and exciting projects, where everyone can contribute their best skills and vision without being gate-kept behind a pricing model.

Only pay for what you use

From today, you can host your project on Nordcraft for just $9 per month, which allows you to add a custom domain, remove Nordcraft branding, and more. Additional costs are billed on how many requests your project receives per month. The first 100k requests are included in the $9 per month cost, and any additional requests are billed on a monthly basis. This means that if you’re just starting out, you only pay $9 per month. You only start paying more when your project grows and starts getting more traffic, at which point you can congratulate yourself on a job well done. If you keep an eye on your traffic growth, this makes it trivial to forecast your monthly costs based on your monthly requests.

As part of this pricing change, we’ve also rolled out analytics in Nordcraft so you can monitor your requests at a project and organization level. For more information on where to view analytics and the types of requests tracked in your Nordcraft projects, check out the official documentation.

And remember, you can also build for free on Nordcraft. Publish your website to a nordcraft.site domain and share your work with the world completely free of charge.
