Wordfence Price Increase Coming December 3, 2026

Wordfence announced a price increase effective December 3, 2026, for its Premium, Care, and Response products, with Premium moving to a $199 annual base price and legacy Premium customers seeing a 40% increase. The company cited the evolving threat landscape, particularly attackers using artificial intelligence (AI) models to develop complex exploits at scale, as justification for investments in threat research, private AI partnerships, and new tools like Argus, PRISM, and Eclipse. Customers can renew eligible licenses up to one year early at current pricing before the increase takes effect.

Why it matters: WordPress site owners using Wordfence Premium should renew or purchase licenses before December 3, 2026, to lock in current pricing; the timing matters immediately since early renewal windows close on that date.
