## Announcing PluralKit Premium
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As we've teased earlier in [the support server](https://discord.gg/PczBt78),
|
|
|
|
|
we will be adding a "premium" subscription tier to PluralKit. We do want to
|
|
|
|
|
assure everyone, however, that **the bot will always be free to use, and no
|
|
|
|
|
existing features (or new core features) will ever be paywalled.**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Our goal for PK Premium is to have the income from subscriptions cover all the
|
|
|
|
|
running costs of the bot - which, up until now, has been paid for partly by
|
2026-01-16 13:45:42 +13:00
|
|
|
donations to our [Patreon](https://patreon.com/pluralkit) /
|
|
|
|
|
[Buy Me A Coffee](https://buymeacoffee.com/pluralkit); and partly out of the
|
|
|
|
|
pockets of the developers.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PluralKit Premium will cost **US$5/month** (plus tax), and will be **launching
|
|
|
|
|
before the end of February 2026**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PluralKit Premium will offer both cosmetic perks, and "power user" features.
|
|
|
|
|
At launch, PK Premium will offer the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- the ability to set custom system/member/group IDs,
|
|
|
|
|
- lossless, higher resolution image hosting on PluralKit's CDN,
|
|
|
|
|
- the ability to upload avatars/banners directly from the PluralKit Dashboard,
|
|
|
|
|
- and a badge on your PluralKit system card to show off your support.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We will be adding more perks to PK Premium in future - including, but not
|
|
|
|
|
limited to:
|
|
|
|
|
- more description customisation options,
|

|
|
|
- automatic regex-based proxy text substitution ("automated typing quirks"),
|

|
|
|
- and more!

### FAQs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### I didn't read any of the stuff above, give me a tl;dr!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- PK Premium is launching before the end of February 2026, at US$5/month (+ tax)
|
|
|
|
|
- No existing features, or new core features, will be paywalled - the premium
|
|
|
|
|
subscription offers cosmetic perks and power-user features only
|
|
|
|
|
- Features at launch include custom IDs; high-resolution image hosting; and
|
|
|
|
|
direct image upload from the web dashboard
|
|
|
|
|
- More premium features are still to come!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Can I pay yearly?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, there will be a yearly subscription option. There is no discount for paying
|
|
|
|
|
yearly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Can I gift a PK Premium subscription to someone?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Not at launch, but we will likely be revisiting this in future.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### How will ID changes work?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There will be bot commands for changing your own system, member, and group IDs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each month of PK Premium you pay for will grant you a number of ID change "tokens,"
|
|
|
|
|
and each ID you change uses one of those "tokens." The exact number of ID changes
|
|
|
|
|
you will get each month has not yet been confirmed, but they will stack over time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition to the "token" system, to ensure fairness, there is a cap on the number
|
|
|
|
|
of IDs you can change in a 24-hour period.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Can I transfer custom IDs to another system?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
No, sorry.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### If I subscribe; customise my IDs; and then cancel, do I keep my custom IDs?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yes!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### How does this affect PluralKit being open source?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PluralKit will remain open source, and there is no change to the licensing.
|
|
|
|
|
Premium features are included in the open source code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### I have another question!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please ask in [#bot-support in the PluralKit support server](https://discord.gg/PczBt78),
|
|
|
|
|
and we'll update this FAQ!
