Jetpack has added Pro to its paid subscription lineup and narrowed new bundle sales to two paid plans: Pro and Complete. The change was announced with Jetpack 16.4, released November 3, 2026.
Jetpack describes Pro as an all-in paid bundle with lower limits than Complete. In practice, the comparison now centers on capacity rather than whether a buyer starts with a Security or Growth-branded package.
As of November 10, 2026, Jetpack’s pricing page lists the following yearly-billed options.
| Plan | Yearly billing listed by Jetpack | Main limits listed by Jetpack |
|---|---|---|
| Pro | $29 per month, billed at $348 per year | 50 GB real-time backup storage, 30-day activity log, 50,000 commercial Stats views per month, 10,000 Search records and 10,000 Search requests per month, and 10,000 Akismet API calls per month |
| Complete | $49 per month, billed at $588 per year | 1 TB real-time backup storage, 1-year activity log, 100,000 commercial Stats views per month, 100,000 Search records and 100,000 Search requests per month, and 60,000 Akismet API calls per month |
Both paid bundles include Jetpack AI, VideoPress, Boost and Jetpack Social Advanced.
WordPress.org lists Jetpack at more than 3 million active installations. The new lineup does not remove the free plugin.
Jetpack still presents some individual products outside the bundles, including VaultPress Backup, Scan and Akismet Anti-spam. That means the bundle shift does not necessarily make Pro or Complete the only paid route for every site.
Renewal pricing is also part of the shift
Jetpack said Pro and Complete do not use a first-year introductory discount that rises at renewal. Its pricing and Complete pages say buyers should review the billing term, upfront total and renewal price at checkout.
That matters for Canadian businesses because Jetpack’s billing documentation says checkout uses local currency where supported, including CAD, and that prices are set separately for each currency rather than simply converted from U.S. dollars. Existing subscriptions keep renewing in the currency originally used for purchase.
Existing subscribers keep their current plans
Jetpack said Security and Growth are no longer sold to new customers, while existing subscribers can keep renewing those plans. Those subscribers can also switch to Pro with credit for unused time, according to the company. The practical step is to compare the current invoice and limits against Pro and Complete before switching, especially for sites that rely on backup history, commercial Stats views or higher-volume Akismet filtering.
Jetpack’s billing documentation also says an individual Jetpack product license or plan can be activated on only one site. Multi-site operators still need to factor per-site licensing into any bundle comparison.
Jetpack 16.4 brings dashboard changes too
The paid-plan restructuring arrived alongside a larger Jetpack 16.4 update. The release consolidates Scan, Firewall, Login protection and Downtime monitoring under Jetpack → Protect, replacing the previous Scan link in the Jetpack menu.
Jetpack also rebuilt the Backup dashboard in wp-admin. The new dashboard lets sites browse backup files, restore or download a backup, choose when daily backups run and set how many days of backups are kept. The WordPress.org changelog also lists backup changes for links from the Activity Log and restoration of backups that finished with warnings.
Other 16.4 changes include a VideoPress trim-and-cut editor, a rebuilt Jetpack Comments form that follows theme styling, connection transfer tools for administrators, and clearer messages when Jetpack blocks are unavailable.
