Software Price Increases 2025 – 2026
The biggest software price changes of 2025 and 2026 are Microsoft 365 (5% to 43% higher list prices at renewals from July 1, 2026, plus the end of volume discounts on Online Services from November 1, 2025), Atlassian (5% to 10% on cloud from October 15, 2025 and about 15% on Data Center from February 17, 2026), Google Workspace (17% to 22% in 2025), Adobe Creative Cloud Pro, Salesforce (6% on average from August 1, 2025) and AWS EC2 Capacity Blocks for H200 instances (up 59% to 75% across four 2026 updates). Not everything went up: Oracle cut Java SE prices for organizations under 3,000 employees in its October 8, 2026 price list, and GitHub cut hosted Actions runner prices by up to 39%.
This page tracks list-price and licensing-cost changes that were announced for, or took effect in, 2025 and 2026. Every entry is checked against the vendor's own announcement, price list or licensing notice, linked in the table and in the sources at the end. Where a figure only appears in partner or press coverage, it is not in the table; those items are listed under what we could not verify. Prices are US dollar list prices unless stated, checked on October 24, 2026. What you pay depends on your agreement, channel and discount.

Sources for each row are in the vendor sections below and in the list at the end. A renewal date matters as much as the effective date: most of these changes reach an existing customer only at its next renewal on or after the date shown.
Microsoft
Microsoft made four separate changes in the period, and they stack: the Microsoft 365 list price increase, the end of volume-level pricing for Online Services, the on-premises server and CAL suite increase, and the CSP uplift for monthly billing. The licensing rules behind the suites are in our Microsoft 365 licensing guide.
Microsoft 365 list prices from July 1, 2026
Microsoft announced on December 4, 2025 that list prices change on July 1, 2026, globally with local market adjustments. Existing customers stay on current pricing until renewal. Suites without Teams rise by the same dollar amount as the version with Teams. Microsoft 365 Business Premium and Office 365 E1 show no change, and standalone Teams and Copilot SKUs are not part of the update.
| Product (per user per month unless stated) | Before | From July 1, 2026 | Change (Microsoft's figure) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Microsoft 365 E5 | $57.00 | $60.00 | 5% |
| Microsoft 365 E3 | $36.00 | $39.00 | 8% |
| Office 365 E5 | $38.00 | $41.00 | 8% |
| Office 365 E3 | $23.00 | $26.00 | 13% |
| Microsoft 365 E5 (no Teams) | $48.45 | $51.45 | 6% |
| Microsoft 365 E3 (no Teams) | $27.45 | $30.45 | 11% |
| Office 365 E5 (no Teams) | $29.45 | $32.45 | 10% |
| Office 365 E3 (no Teams) | $14.45 | $17.45 | 21% |
| Microsoft 365 F3 | $8.00 | $10.00 | 25% |
| Microsoft 365 F1 | $2.25 | $3.00 | 33% |
| Microsoft 365 F3 (no Teams) | $6.93 | $8.93 | 29% |
| Microsoft 365 F1 (no Teams) | $1.75 | $2.50 | 43% |
| Microsoft 365 Business Basic | $6.00 | $7.00 | 16% |
| Microsoft 365 Business Standard | $12.50 | $14.00 | 12% |
| Microsoft 365 Business Basic (no Teams) | $4.40 | $5.40 | 23% |
| Microsoft 365 Business Standard (no Teams) | $9.29 | $10.79 | 16% |
| Microsoft 365 Apps for business | $8.25 | $10.00 | 21% |
| Microsoft 365 Apps (for enterprise) | $12.00 | $14.00 | 17% |
| Microsoft 365 Apps, per device | $36.00 | $42.00 | 17% |
| Windows Enterprise E3 | $6.63 | $7.63 | 15% |
| Windows Enterprise E5 | $11.81 | $12.81 | 9% |
| Windows Enterprise, per device | $5.85 | $7.63 | 31% |
| Enterprise Mobility + Security E3 | $10.60 | $12.00 | 13% |
| Enterprise Mobility + Security E5 | $16.40 | $18.00 | 10% |
| Microsoft Entra ID P1 | $6.00 | $7.00 | 16% |
| Microsoft Entra ID P2 | $9.00 | $10.00 | 11% |
Microsoft's percentages are rounded down in places ($6.00 to $7.00 is 16.7%). Government suites follow the commercial percentages (8% for G3, 5% for G5, 13% for Office 365 G3, 33% and 25% for F1 and F3), and Microsoft says increases above 10% are phased over several years there. Nonprofit prices move with commercial ones, because they are a fixed discount from them.
Online Services in EA and MPSA from November 1, 2025
Microsoft gave every Online Service one price across Price Levels A to D, matching the price on Microsoft.com, for Enterprise Agreement (including OSPA in China) and MPSA customers. It applies at the next agreement renewal or when you add an Online Service that is not on your Customer Price Sheet. Microsoft did not publish a percentage; what it costs you is the volume discount your level used to carry. On-premises software, US Government and worldwide Education price lists are excluded. Our analysis of the Online Services pricing change covers how to model it.
On-premises servers and CAL suites from July 1, 2025
Microsoft raised SharePoint Server, Exchange Server and Skype for Business Server by 10%, the Core CAL Suite by 15% and the Enterprise CAL Suite by 20%, all on July 1, 2025, alongside the subscription editions of Exchange and Skype for Business Server. Online versions were not affected. Background is in our note on the on-premises server licensing changes.
CSP monthly billing and server products
From October 1, 2026, Microsoft adds a 5% cost-of-capital uplift to annual-term CSP software subscriptions billed monthly, naming SQL Server, Windows Server, Client Access Licenses and System Center. Existing subscriptions pick it up at renewal; paying the year upfront avoids it. On the server side, Windows Server 2025 lists about 10% above Windows Server 2022 ($1,176 for Standard and $6,771 for Datacenter per 16 cores), while SQL Server 2025 kept SQL Server 2022's list prices; see the Windows Server 2022 vs 2025 price comparison and the SQL Server 2022 vs 2025 price comparison.
Oracle Java SE
Oracle's Java SE Universal Subscription price list dated October 8, 2026 replaces the March 1, 2023 list for organizations under 3,000 employees. The metric is unchanged: you license every employee, plus the staff of contractors and outsourcers who support your operations, whether or not they use Java. What changed is the price below 3,000 employees and a new cap on processors.
- Up to 10 employees: $100 a year. Up to 100: $1,000 a year. Up to 500: $10,000 a year. Each is one flat entitlement for the band.
- 501 to 2,999 employees: the $10,000 band plus $147.20 a year for each employee above 500.
- These SMB prices are for direct purchases from Oracle only; resale is not available.
- From 3,000 employees the monthly bands are unchanged: $10.50, then $8.25, $6.75, $5.70 and $5.25 per employee per month, and above 50,000 by quote.
- Each band now carries a processor limit for servers (desktops and laptops excluded): 1,000 processors up to 10 employees, 10,000 up to 100, 20,000 up to 500, and 50,000 above that. The 2023 list had one 50,000-processor limit.
| Employees | March 2023 list, per year | October 2026 list, per year | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25 | $4,500 | $1,000 | −78% |
| 250 | $45,000 | $10,000 | −78% |
| 500 | $90,000 | $10,000 | −89% |
| 800 | $144,000 | $54,160 | −62% |
| 2,000 | $288,000 | $230,800 | −20% |
| 2,999 | $431,856 | $377,852.80 | −12.5% |
| 3,000 | $378,000 | $378,000 | No change |
The 2023 figures apply that list's $15 per employee per month (1–999) and $12 (1,000–2,999) to the whole headcount; the 2026 figures are Oracle's own worked examples. The processor limits can push an organization with few employees and many servers into a higher band. The employee count, not the install count, still decides the bill, which is why Oracle Java prices headcount, not installs remains the starting point.
VMware by Broadcom
Broadcom has not published a VMware list price change for 2025 or 2026. The licensing model is the per-core subscription in place since the move away from perpetual licenses: VMware Cloud Foundation and vSphere Foundation are licensed per physical core with a minimum of 16 cores per CPU, and VCF includes 1 TiB of vSAN per core against 0.25 TiB for VVF.
The widely reported jump to a 72-core minimum per order from April 10, 2025 came from a distributor memo. Broadcom told the press it had never announced a price change, distributors confirmed that orders from 16 cores were still accepted, and Broadcom's public licensing pages still state 16 cores per CPU. We cover the episode in VMware 72-core minimum vs the 16-core CPU floor. The 20% late-renewal penalty in the same memo has no Broadcom source we could find. VMware cost increases are real for many customers, but they come from the bundles and the subscription conversion on each quote, not from a published list change; pricing the VCF increase against switching cost sets out how to compare them.
Adobe Creative Cloud
Adobe renamed Creative Cloud All Apps to Creative Cloud Pro, added unlimited standard generative features and 4,000 monthly credits for premium video and audio generation, and raised the price. For individuals it also introduced Creative Cloud Standard, the 20+ desktop apps with limited generative AI and basic web and mobile access.
| Plan (US) | Annual, billed monthly | Month to month | Annual, prepaid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Creative Cloud Pro, individuals | $69.99/month | $104.99/month | $779.99/year |
| Creative Cloud Standard, individuals (new) | $54.99/month | $82.49/month | $599.88/year |
| Creative Cloud Pro for teams, per license | $99.99/month | Not offered | $1,199.88/year |
Individuals pay the new price at renewal on or after June 17, 2025 in North America and August 1, 2025 elsewhere. Teams plans bought on Adobe.com or Teams Direct follow the same dates; VIP and VIP Marketplace renewals move on or after August 1, 2025 in North America and September 1, 2025 elsewhere. Pro Plus for teams (formerly Pro Edition) also rose, priced by quote. Single-app teams prices did not change; Belarus, China and Russia were excluded, and South Korea also for individuals. Adobe's change pages give the new prices only; the before-and-after view by plan is in our analysis of Adobe's 2025 pricing changes.
Google Workspace
Google folded Gemini into the Business and Enterprise plans in January 2025, dropped the separate Gemini add-on, and raised the plan prices.
| Plan, per user per month | Annual before | Annual after | Flexible before | Flexible after |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Business Starter | $6 | $7 (+17%) | $7.20 | $8.40 |
| Business Standard | $12 | $14 (+17%) | $14.40 | $16.80 |
| Business Plus | $18 | $22 (+22%) | $21.60 | $26.40 |
New subscriptions paid the new prices from January 16, 2025, existing subscriptions with more than 10 licenses from March 17, 2025, and those with 1 to 10 licenses from July 7, 2025 at the earliest (at the later of that date or renewal on an Annual Plan). A customer already paying for the Gemini add-on paid less afterwards.
Salesforce
On August 1, 2025, Salesforce raised list prices by an average of 6% for Enterprise and Unlimited editions of Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Field Service and select Industries Clouds. Sales Cloud Enterprise moved from $165 to $175 per user per month and Unlimited from $330 to $350 on Salesforce's pricing page. Foundations, Starter and Pro editions were not changed. Agentforce add-ons start at $125 per user per month. For contract terms to secure first, see what to lock before a Salesforce AELA renewal.
Atlassian
Atlassian made two rounds of changes, and the second sits inside a product retirement.
- Cloud, October 15, 2025. Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management and Teamwork Collection: Standard +5%, Premium +7.5%, Enterprise +7.5% to 10% depending on users. Atlassian Government Cloud +7.5% to 10%, Guard Standard +5%, Bitbucket Standard and Premium +10%. Quotes issued before the date were honored until they expired.
- Data Center, February 17, 2026. List prices rose about 15% at renewal: Jira Data Center at 500 users from $51,000 to $59,000 a year and at 1,000 users from $87,000 to $100,000; Confluence at 500 users from $32,000 to $37,000; Jira Service Management at 500 from $113,500 to $130,500. Jira Data Center customers on advantaged pricing moved to current list rates.
- Data Center end of life. New customers could not buy Data Center after March 30, 2026. Existing customers can buy and expand until March 30, 2028, and Jira, Jira Service Management, Confluence and Crowd Data Center become read-only on March 28, 2029. Bitbucket and Bamboo Data Center are not retired.
For a worked example of reducing Atlassian spend, see our Atlassian cost case study.
GitHub
GitHub cut GitHub-hosted Actions runner prices by up to 39% on January 1, 2026. It also announced a $0.002 per minute platform charge for self-hosted runners from March 1, 2026, then postponed it with no new date. On June 1, 2026 Copilot moved to usage-based billing: seat prices did not change ($19 per user per month for Business, $39 for Enterprise), each seat includes the same value in monthly credits, and usage beyond that is metered at each model's rate, with promotional credits of $30 and $70 per user for existing Business and Enterprise customers through August 2026. GitHub Copilot credits: the seat is only the floor explains what to cap first.
AWS EC2 Capacity Blocks
Capacity Blocks for ML are reserved GPU capacity whose prices AWS updates periodically with supply and demand. You pay the rate in effect when you buy. The rates for H200 instances rose at four updates in 2026.
| Effective hourly rate per instance (US East, Ohio) | December 2025 | January 2026 | April 2026 | July 2026 | October 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| p5e.48xlarge | $34.608 | $39.799 | $39.799 | $47.76 | $54.924 |
| p5en.48xlarge | $36.184 | $41.612 | $45.768 | $54.920 | $63.158 |
That is +59% for p5e and +75% for p5en in ten months. The October 2026 figures are from US West (Oregon), where the August 2026 copy of the page showed the same rate as Ohio. AWS says the next update is in January 2027.
IBM
IBM Cloud publishes its price adjustments. In January 2025, Security and Compliance Center Workload Protection rose from $8.24 to $18.00 per compute instance per month for the first 250 instances, with the volume tiers rising by the same ratio, and several location premiums rose. In April 2025, Microsoft OS license rates on IBM Cloud rose about 10%, for example from $0.046 to $0.051 per vCPU hour on VPC virtual servers. For IBM i, the license transfer price rose to $8,954 on July 1, 2025, and non-expiring P20 and P30 licenses on Power10 were withdrawn from January 1, 2026, leaving subscription for new purchases.
Red Hat, SAP, ServiceNow, Cisco: what we could not verify
Several increases repeated across the web come from partner notices or press reports, not from a vendor document we could check. We left them out of the table rather than repeat a number:
- Red Hat: a 10% increase on EUR and GBP subscriptions from April 1, 2025 appears only in partner notices. Red Hat does not publish a list price change, and the US online store's RHEL Server prices were the same in archived copies from December 2025 and September 2026. Ask your partner for the price list in your currency before renewal.
- IBM software: a global increase of about 6% from January 1, 2026, with 10% on IBM i software maintenance, appears in partner notices; we found no IBM announcement letter.
- SAP: support fees adjust each January by local inflation, capped at 5%, according to SAP statements quoted in the press; SAP's own notice is not public. Reported private cloud increases have no SAP source we could check.
- Oracle support: annual increases on technical support are set by contract terms, not a public notice.
- ServiceNow: annual uplifts and Now Assist premiums are negotiated per contract; ServiceNow publishes no list prices.
- Cisco: a 3.4% uplift from September 2025 appears in partner notices only.
If you have the vendor's own notice for any of these, it is the document to negotiate from; the partner summary is not.
What the changes have in common
- They land at renewal. Microsoft, Atlassian, Google and Adobe all apply the new price at the next renewal on or after the effective date, so the same change hits two customers a year apart.
- AI is bundled into the base price. Google and Adobe tied their increases to generative AI features added to the plans; GitHub moved the AI part of Copilot to metered credits instead.
- Discounts and billing terms move, not only list prices. Microsoft removed volume-level pricing for Online Services and charges 5% more for monthly billing in CSP; Google, Adobe and Microsoft all price monthly payment above annual.
- Some prices fell. Oracle's Java list for smaller organizations and GitHub's hosted runners went down, and a customer moving from a Gemini add-on paid less after Google's change.
- On-premises products are being repriced or retired. Microsoft's server and CAL suites, Atlassian Data Center and IBM i perpetual licenses all moved in the same direction.
For the longer view of how inflation feeds into list prices, see how inflation affects software prices.
What to do before renewal
- List your renewal dates against the effective dates above. Microsoft keeps existing customers on current pricing until renewal, and Atlassian, Google and Adobe work the same way, so the order of your renewals decides which changes you face this year.
- Count what you use, by SKU. Microsoft's increase runs from 5% on E5 to 43% on F1 without Teams, so the mix matters more than the headline. Unassigned and inactive licenses are the cheapest saving.
- Check the metric before the price. Oracle Java is priced on total employees, Atlassian on user tiers, VMware on physical cores with a 16-core-per-CPU floor. Get the count right first.
- Price the billing terms. Monthly billing costs 5% more on CSP software subscriptions, 20% more on Google Workspace's Flexible Plan and 50% more on Adobe's month-to-month Creative Cloud Pro. If cash allows, annual prepayment is a direct saving.
- Re-quote Java if you are under 3,000 employees. The October 2026 list is lower at every headcount under 3,000, but only for direct purchases from Oracle, and within the band's processor limit.
- Ask for the vendor's notice. Negotiate from the vendor's announcement or price list, not a partner summary, and ask whether quotes issued before an effective date are honored, as Atlassian's are.
- Decide on on-premises products early. Atlassian Data Center purchases end in March 2028; Exchange and Skype for Business Server have moved to subscription editions. These decisions take longer than one renewal cycle.
LICENSEWARE's License and Contracts Manager keeps contract terms and renewal dates in one place, so each of these changes can be matched to the agreement it will hit.
Questions
Which software prices are going up in 2026?
The largest announced changes are Microsoft 365 (5% to 43% by SKU at renewals from July 1, 2026), Atlassian Data Center (about 15% from February 17, 2026), the Microsoft CSP 5% uplift for monthly billing (October 1, 2026) and AWS Capacity Blocks for H200 instances (four increases in 2026). Oracle Java SE went down for organizations under 3,000 employees.
How much is the Microsoft 365 price increase in 2026?
From July 1, 2026: Microsoft 365 E3 $36 to $39, E5 $57 to $60, Office 365 E3 $23 to $26, Business Basic $6 to $7, Business Standard $12.50 to $14, F1 $2.25 to $3 and F3 $8 to $10 per user per month. Existing customers pay it at their next renewal.
Is VMware raising prices in 2026?
Broadcom has published no VMware list price change for 2026, and the 72-core minimum order reported in 2025 was not adopted; the minimum is 16 cores per CPU. Increases at renewal come from the subscription bundles and the core count on each quote.
Did Red Hat raise prices in 2026?
We found no Red Hat announcement of a 2026 list price change, and the US store prices for RHEL Server did not change between December 2025 and September 2026. A 10% increase for EUR and GBP in April 2025 is reported by partners only. Ask your partner for the current price list in your currency.
How much did Adobe Creative Cloud go up in 2025?
Creative Cloud Pro, the renamed All Apps plan, is $69.99 a month on an annual plan billed monthly for individuals and $99.99 per license a month for teams, from renewals on or after June 17, 2025 in North America and August 1, 2025 elsewhere. Creative Cloud Standard at $54.99 is the new lower-priced option for individuals.
How much does Oracle Java cost now?
Under the October 8, 2026 list: $100 a year up to 10 employees, $1,000 up to 100, $10,000 up to 500, then $147.20 a year per additional employee up to 2,999. From 3,000 employees it is $10.50 per employee per month, falling with volume. All employees count, not only Java users.
What is IBM price harmonization 2026?
Partner notices describe an increase of about 6% across most IBM offerings from January 1, 2026, with 10% on IBM i software maintenance. We could not find IBM's own announcement, so treat the figures as unconfirmed and ask IBM or your partner for the announcement letter.
