Changes on PythonAnywhere Free Accounts
Briefly

"Starting in January 2026, all free accounts will shift to community-powered support instead of direct support and will have some reduced features. If you want to upgrade, you can lock in the current $5/month (€5/month in the EU system) Hacker plan Hacker plan rate before January 8 (EU) or January 15 (US). After that, the base paid tier will be $10/month (€10/month in the EU system)."
"Over time, PythonAnywhere has become a place where people learn, teach, experiment, and deploy projects, all with nothing more than a browser. Students use it for coursework, teachers for classrooms, hobbyists for tinkering, and developers for prototyping and hosting apps. That breadth of use has always reminded us why we built this in the first place: to make Python more accessible."
PythonAnywhere functions as a browser-based environment for learning, teaching, experimenting, and deploying Python projects used by students, teachers, hobbyists, and developers. The free tier has remained meaningful and has benefited from feedback from both free and paid users, contributing to platform improvements. Free accounts will continue to exist and remain functional for building, learning, and hosting projects. Starting January 2026, free accounts will receive community-powered support instead of direct support and will experience some reduced features. The platform is adjusting support to sustain the free tier while investing in requested features and platform upgrades, and paid tiers and deadlines allow locking in current Hacker pricing before specified January dates.
