Story:
We’ve started sending notifications to grandfathered Pro members who are due for renewal that we’ll be renewing their Pro memberships at the current market price.
For grandfathered members, the cost of the 1-year plan has remained unchanged since it was introduced in 2005. The 2-year plan has actually gotten cheaper by $3 over the years. When we re-introduced Pro in 2015, we guaranteed that existing Pros would continue to receive the old price for at least 2 years, and we have honored that promise.
When grandfathered subscriptions next come up for renewal, they’ll be charged the current Pro rate, though the plan duration and billing cycle will stay the same. New Pros currently pay $49.99 per year or $5.99 per month, depending on the plan. Therefore, 2-year Pros will pay $99.98 bi-annually, 1-year Pros will pay $49.99 annually, and 3-month Pros will pay $17.97 every three months.
Pro subscriptions now support a completely independent, family-run photography business that is committed to sustaining and investing in Flickr long into the future.
Flickr Pro at the new price is an excellent way to manage and upload your photos while participating in a vibrant global photography community. For $49.99 a year, grandfathered Pros will still get unlimited, full-resolution uploads; ad-free browsing and no ads served on your photos; advanced stats; great industry discounts; and the strength of the Flickr community.
Thanks for being a part of what makes Flickr so special to us all!

VP of Flickr Product
