What happened
Between the Apr 1, 2025 and Jul 4, 2025 captures of Elementor's pricing page, Pulse recorded 4 changes: Complete pricing tier restructure with new naming convention: Lite/Basic/Business/Grow/Scale/Ultimate renamed to Host Cloud/Host Cloud+/Host Cloud x3/Host Cloud x10/Host Cloud x25. New branding emphasizes 'Host Cloud' and auto-scaling technology; Entry-level monthly price increased from $2.99 (Lite) to $8.99 (Host Cloud), a 200% increase; Lite plan ($2.99/mo, $36/yr annual) discontinued - lowest entry-level tier eliminated; Second-tier monthly price increased from $9.99 (Basic) to $14.99 (Host Cloud+), a 50% increase. Pulse files it as a pricing change (packaging change, price increase, plan removed) with an upward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Nov 9, 2026) lists Essential at $5, Advanced Solo at $7, Advanced at $9, One at $15 and Expert at $17.
Elementor's previous recorded change was "Elementor Renames Business Plan Tier to 'Advanced Solo'" (Q1 2025). Elementor has been tracked since 2024-10-01.
