We’ve launched the first version of a new subscription plan called Micro.blog Studio. This plan joins the standard Micro.blog hosting, the Micro.blog Premium plan, and our Micro.blog Family plan, providing options at a bunch of price points:
Micro.one: $1
Micro.blog: $5
Micro.blog Premium: $10
Micro.blog Family: $15
Micro.blog Studio: $20
Micro.blog Studio adds longer video hosting for your blog, with uploads up to 20 minutes. You can read some of the technical bits here. It can automatically copy videos to PeerTube and Bluesky too.
I’m pretty happy with this lineup and think it will serve us well for many years without changes. The standard plan was $5 when it launched in 2017, and it remains that price today, but it is wildly more capable than it was back then. It’s unusual for blog hosting to stay the same price for so long. Feedbin comes to mind as another blog-adjacent service that has stuck to a flat $5 price seemingly forever.
I think of Studio as a new 1.0 product built into the larger Micro.blog platform. We have much more we plan to add to this in the future, including for podcasts. You can imagine new web-based podcast recording and editing, so that podcasting is more accessible to people, as well as an update to our companion app Wavelength.
Thanks everyone for your support, especially the folks who have upgraded to Studio even if they aren’t sure they will use it much yet! As we approach the holidays and the year winds down, I’m excited about what more we can build for the open web heading into 2026.
