Kinsta Pricing Explained: Plans, Costs and What You Get
Kinsta pricing starts at $35 a month for a single WordPress site. That entry plan covers 35,000 monthly visits and 10 GB of storage. Prices rise with the number of sites, visits and storage you need. This guide lays out every plan, what each one includes, and the extra costs to watch for.
How Kinsta Pricing Works
Kinsta is a managed WordPress host. It runs your sites on Google Cloud infrastructure. It handles caching, security, backups and updates for you. You do not manage a server. You pick a plan size, not a feature set. Every plan includes the same core features. The price changes with the size of the plan. Plans are sized by WordPress installs, monthly visits and storage. You can also choose plans billed on server bandwidth instead of visits. The prices are the same either way. All prices are in US dollars and exclude tax.
A visit means one unique IP address in a 24-hour period. Visits are shared across all sites on your plan. If you go over your limit, your site stays online. Kinsta notifies you at 80% and 100% of usage. Overage fees then apply to the extra visits.
Kinsta Pricing: Single-Site Plans
Single-site plans suit one WordPress site. Each plan covers one install. The cheapest plan is Single 35k at $35 a month. It allows 35,000 visits a month, 10 GB of storage and 125 GB of CDN bandwidth. Annual billing costs $350 a year, which works out to about $30 a month. Kinsta gives two months free on annual billing. Some single-site plans include a free first month for new customers.
| Plan | Monthly price | Annual price | Visits per month | Storage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single 35k | $35 | $350 | 35,000 | 10 GB |
| Single 65k | $50 | $500 | 65,000 | 10 GB |
| Single 125k | $90 | $900 | 125,000 | 10 GB |
| Single 315k | $170 | $1,700 | 315,000 | 10 GB |
| Single 500k | $290 | $2,900 | 500,000 | 15 GB |
| Single 750k | $375 | $3,750 | 750,000 | 15 GB |
The Single 35k plan is not marked as recommended for ecommerce or membership sites. The first single-site plan with that recommendation is Single 65k. It costs $50 a month and adds more PHP threads. That matters for stores and membership sites with logged-in users. Backup retention is 14 days on most single-site plans. It rises to 20 days on the larger plans.
Kinsta Pricing: Multi-Site Plans
Multi-site plans pool visits across several WordPress installs. They suit freelancers and small agencies. The WP 2 plan costs $70 a month. It covers 2 sites, 70,000 visits and 20 GB of storage. The WP 5 plan costs $115 a month. It covers 5 sites, 125,000 visits and 30 GB of storage. WP 5 is the first multi-site plan recommended for ecommerce and membership sites.
| Plan | Monthly price | Annual price | Sites | Visits per month | Storage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WP 2 | $70 | $700 | 2 | 70,000 | 20 GB |
| WP 5 | $115 | $1,150 | 5 | 125,000 | 30 GB |
| WP 10 | $225 | $2,250 | 10 | 315,000 | 40 GB |
| WP 20 | $340 | $3,400 | 20 | 500,000 | 50 GB |
| WP 40 | $450 | $4,500 | 40 | 750,000 | 60 GB |
Per-site cost falls fast as you move up. On annual billing, WP 2 works out to about $30 per site a month. WP 40 works out to about $9 per site a month. That makes the larger plans good value for agencies with many small client sites.
Kinsta Agency and Enterprise Plans
Agency plans are built for firms that manage client sites at scale. Agency 20 costs $340 a month. It covers 20 sites and 500,000 visits. Agency 40 costs $450 a month for 40 sites. Agency 60 costs $675 a month for 60 sites. Agency plans include 30-day backup retention. They also include white-label options and agency directory listing. Enterprise plans start at $500 a month. They are custom-built for large or business-critical sites. Enterprise adds dedicated resources and an uptime SLA of up to 99.99%. It also adds account management and custom contract terms.
What Every Kinsta Plan Includes
All plans share the same core feature set. You get free SSL certificates and free migrations with no downtime. You get daily automatic backups and free one-click staging. You get a built-in CDN and bot protection. You get a fully managed firewall with DDoS protection. You get free malware removal. You get 24/7 expert support. You also get the MyKinsta dashboard and the Kinsta API. Kinsta guarantees 99.9% uptime on standard plans. There is no email hosting on any plan. You need a separate email service.
Add-Ons and Extra Costs
Add-ons can change your real bill. Budget for them before you sign up. Redis object caching costs $100 per site a month. It helps WooCommerce stores and busy dynamic sites. An extra WordPress site costs $30 a month. Extra disk space costs $20 per 20 GB a month. More frequent backups cost $20 a site a month for every 6 hours. Hourly backups cost $100 a site a month. Premium staging environments cost $20 a site a month. A reverse proxy costs $50 a site a month. Visit overages cost $0.50 per 1,000 extra visits, according to Kinsta documentation. That rate is far lower than some rivals charge.
How to Choose the Right Kinsta Plan
Start with your real traffic, not your hopes. Check your current monthly visits first. Then pick the plan with headroom above that number. A single blog or business site fits Single 35k or Single 65k. Pick Single 65k if you run a store or a membership site. A freelancer with a few client sites fits WP 2 or WP 5. An agency with ten or more sites should compare WP 10 and WP 20. The per-site math favors the bigger plans. Annual billing saves two months on every plan. That is a real saving of $70 on a $35 plan and $680 on a $340 plan. New customers also get a first month free on select plans. All plans carry a 30-day money-back guarantee. That guarantee covers plan fees for first-time customers.
Bottom Line
Kinsta is a premium host with premium prices. The entry point is $35 a month for one site. The value comes from the included extras: CDN, staging, daily backups, migrations and expert support. The pricing model is simple. You pay for size, not features. The main risk is the visit cap. Watch your traffic and budget for overages if you grow fast. For a single site, Single 65k at $50 a month is the sweet spot. For agencies, the WP plans offer the best per-site value.
