✨ Self-service for Premium Features coming soon!

[Witoso]

Hey everyone,

We're thrilled to share some exciting news with you!

Over the past few months, we’ve been working on a brand-new, streamlined way to access Premium Features for CKEditor 5, and it's almost ready for you to explore.

Note

The open-source version of CKEditor 5 licensed under GPL remains unchanged. The following updates apply exclusively to CKEditor 5 Premium Features, which have always been part of our commercial offerings.

Introducing subscriptions for CKEditor Premium Features 🎉

Our goal is to make it easy for you to access Premium Features with just a few clicks. We've created various pricing plans based on different feature needs, so you can choose the option that’s right for you (or start a free trial), and begin using your new features in your editor immediately.

But wait, there’s more!

• Usage-based billing: Each of our commercial plans will include a specified number of editor loads. If you exceed the limit, you’ll be charged additional, but can always upgrade to a larger plan.
• No credit card trial: Not ready to commit? No worries! Our 14-day free trial will still be available, and you don't need a credit card to test out all of our Premium Features. Dive in and explore to your heart's content.
• Simplified integration: Thanks to a new customer portal (coming soon!), getting started will be even easier. Just grab your license key, plug it into the editor, and you’re set.

We're also updating our documentation to give you all the details, so stay tuned!

When can you expect these changes?

We plan to launch these updates by the end of the year, and are working hard to make them available as soon as possible.

Thanks for your support!

—The CKEditor Team

PS. We're sharing this message ahead of the official launch because some necessary changes to the editor core are being made to enable the ability to subscribe to CKEditor Premium Features. To stay transparent and avoid confusion, we want to explain the reason for these changes and their purpose.

We’re using this public repository to maintain a unified codebase for both the open-source and commercial versions of the editor. This ensures consistent quality, with both free and paid versions relying on the same core. These changes will not impact anyone using the self-hosted, open-source version of the editor. And rest assured, the GPL license remains unchanged.
