WordPress caching and speed plugin costs
6 plugins in the WordPress.org top 1,000 by active installs list a price. 4 of them state a yearly or monthly price in US dollars. Among plans with a stated term, the cheapest yearly price is $39 (SpeedyCache), the median $54 and the dearest $99 (W3 Total Cache).
Price by plugin
The ranked column is the cheapest paid plan whose page states a yearly or monthly price in US dollars. A monthly price is multiplied by 12. Plugins are ordered by that figure; the ones without it come last.

What the table says
- 4 plugins can be ranked on a stated yearly or monthly US-dollar price. The other 2 state their price without a term, in another currency, or only as a lifetime or one-time payment, so they sit below the ranking.
- None of these sells a lifetime or one-time plan.
- None of these states a renewal price, so the first-year figure is the only one given.
- 3 of 6 state a refund window, from 14 to 30 days.
How the table is ranked
- "Cheapest paid plan" skips free plans. It counts only plans with a stated yearly price, a monthly price or a monthly price billed yearly, in US dollars. If the only yearly plan listed is a top tier such as Agency, the plugin is not ranked.
- A plan with no stated billing term is shown but never ranked, because an annual price and a monthly price are not the same number. Prices in euros, pounds or rupees are shown in their own currency and left out of the ranking.
- Renewal is shown only where the vendor states it; otherwise the cell says so. Vendors change prices, so check the vendor's page before you buy.
What this leaves out
The table covers the top 1,000 plugins by active installs. A plugin is left out if it has no public price, no pricing page of its own, or a page that prices something other than the plugin. Free plugins, and plugins whose paid version is sold only through a marketplace, do not appear. The price of a vendor's service, such as hosting or an API, is not counted as the plugin's price.
