Roll20 announced yesterday that they intend to raise the prices of their two subscription plans effective July.
As you can imagine, this is not going over well. Roll20 has pretty much stagnated over the past few years and their servers have been overloaded over the past fourteen months thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the meantime, there are newcomer VTTs with much better visuals and features like Astral Tabletop, Foundry Tabletop, and Mythic Tabletop.
Roll20 said:Beginning July 1, 2021, Roll20 will be increasing prices on all new subscriptions for the first time since 2012. The monthly price for Plus will increase from $4.99 per month to $5.99 per month, with the annual Plus subscription increasing from $49.99 per year to $59.99 per year. Pro subscriptions will increase from $9.99 to $10.99 per month, with the annual Pro subscriptions increasing from $99.99 per year to $109.99 per a year. Free accounts and the free account experience will remain unchanged.
As a thank you to our current subscribers, all accounts subscribed before 12:01 AM Pacific July 1, 2021 will be “locked in” at their current price for the next two years. This courtesy period will last until you cancel your subscription, your subscription lapses, or until July 1, 2023, whichever comes first. After this two year courtesy period, the subscription prices will increase to reflect the new pricing structure.
