When is this change taking place and who for?

For new users and BuzzSumo's free plan users, the new prices, plus applicable taxes (ie. local taxes), will apply starting February 14th, 2023.

For existing users, including:

  • Customers

  • Trial users who began their 30-day free trial on or before February 13th, 2023

... legacy plans and pricing will be locked-in.

For example, if you are a user who began a free trial on February 13th, you will have the ability to purchase legacy plans for legacy prices until March 13th when your free trial ends.

For customers, you will have access to legacy plans and pricing for as long as you are subscribed to BuzzSumo. For example, if you pay for an annual plan, this will auto-renew with the same legacy plans and pricing, unless you decide to cancel or switch. At this point, you will only be able to access BuzzSumo's new plans and pricing.

Check out the plans and pricing page for full cost and feature information.

What plan will I get access to on BuzzSumo's free trial?

Starting from February 14th, 2023, users will be trialling the Suite plan, with some minor limitations.

For full details of the features included in this plan, head to the BuzzSumo plans and pricing page.

Your trial will last for 30 days or 50 searches – whichever comes first.

What about BuzzSumo's free plan?

Starting February 14th, 2023, we have removed our free plan.

As mentioned, all users will still have access to a 30-day free trial – no strings attached!

What action do I need to take?

No further action is required on your part. You can manage your subscription any time in your account settings:

Why are plans changing and prices increasing?

We have written a full blog answering just this: BuzzSumo’s New Plans & Pricing: What’s Changing?


In short:

New pricing

We have added significant value to BuzzSumo over the years, and yet we have never fully updated our pricing.

Now, as costs are increasing across the business, and in the context of the current market, we are making this change to continue to be able to innovate and deliver the best possible product for our customers.

New plans

With our new plan offering, we're improving our feature-matching, to better support the needs of our customers and their most important workflows.

What if I purchased BuzzSumo with a coupon or custom plan?

Discounts are applied as per the terms and conditions of your offer.

If you have any queries regarding your coupon or custom plan, contact us via our in-app chat or help@buzzsumo.com.

Where else can I go to get information on this change?

All BuzzSumo account holders will have been informed of these changes via email, and in-app.

There is more information via our blog BuzzSumo’s New Plans & Pricing: What’s Changing?, and you can get a full breakdown of plans via the BuzzSumo plans & pricing page.
