Kinsta Add-On Prices: What a Plan Costs Once You Add Sites, Storage and Extras
The listed monthly price of each Kinsta add-on, and the point where adding sites to a single-site plan costs more than moving to a multi-site plan.
A Kinsta plan price covers a set number of sites, visits and gigabytes. Most other things are add-ons with their own monthly price. This page lists them and works out two common cases.
Add-on prices
| Add-on | Listed price |
|---|---|
| Additional WordPress site | $30 per site per month |
| Disk space | $20 per 20 GB per month |
| Premium staging environments | $20 per site per month |
| Extra backups, every 6 hours | $20 per site per month |
| Extra backups, every hour | $100 per site per month |
| External backups | $10 per 500 MB per month, plus $1 per GB of bandwidth |
| Redis caching | $100 per site per month |
| PHP performance | $10 per 500 MB per month |
| Reverse proxy | $50 per site per month |
| Automatic updates | From $3 per site per month |
| Dedicated virtual server | From $300 per month |
Adding sites or moving up a plan
A single-site plan can take extra sites at $30 each. A multi-site plan includes them. The comparison below starts from the smallest single-site plan, Single 35k at $35 per month.
| Sites | Single 35k plus added sites | Multi-site plan | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | $65 per month | WP 2 at $70 | Adding is $5 lower |
| 3 | $95 per month | WP 5 at $115 | Adding is $20 lower |
| 4 | $125 per month | WP 5 at $115 | WP 5 is $10 lower |
| 5 | $155 per month | WP 5 at $115 | WP 5 is $40 lower |
The price is only part of it. The multi-site plans carry higher limits.
| Single 35k plus 1 site | WP 2 | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly price | $65 | $70 |
| Monthly visits | 35,000 | 70,000 |
| Storage | 10 GB | 20 GB |
For $5 more per month, WP 2 doubles the visit limit and the storage. Adding a site to the single-site plan is lower in price only if both sites fit inside 35,000 visits and 10 GB.
What a plan costs with common extras
One site on Single 65k, with hourly backups and a premium staging environment:
| Item | Per month |
|---|---|
| Single 65k | $50 |
| Extra backups, every hour | $100 |
| Premium staging environments | $20 |
| Total | $170 |
The add-ons in this example cost more than twice the plan itself. $170 is also the price of Single 315k, a plan with almost five times the visit limit.
Storage: add-on or bigger plan
Disk space costs $20 for each extra 20 GB. A single-site plan includes 10 GB up to Single 315k and 15 GB above that. The multi-site plans include 20 GB to 60 GB. Storage-heavy sites reach the add-on quickly on single-site plans.
