The ZipWP Black Friday 2026 sale has not started yet, but last year's tells you what to expect: up to 41% off ZipWP plans, applied automatically at checkout from 17 November to 5 December 2025. Today the plans already carry a first year discount, starting at $99 a year, so the real question is whether to buy now or wait a few weeks for the bigger cut.
I update this page as soon as the 2026 offer goes live. Until then, here is what ZipWP costs today, the cheapest legitimate ways to buy it, what renewals cost, and my advice on timing.
ZipWP Black Friday Status
- 2026 sale: not live yet. Brainstorm Force's sale ran from 17 November last year, ahead of Black Friday itself.
- Last year: up to 41% off ZipWP plans, no code needed, 17 November to 5 December 2025.
- Best price today: Starter at $99 for the first year, or a $99 one time Hobby plan.
- Coupon codes: none are needed. ZipWP's discounts apply automatically.
ZipWP Prices Right Now
Every yearly plan includes hosting, a free domain for the first year and business email. The prices below are already introductory prices, and ZipWP states that all renewals are at full price.
| Plan | List price | Price today | Renews at | Hosted sites | Toolkit sites |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $149/yr | $99/yr | $149/yr | 1 | 3 |
| Pro | $299/yr | $199/yr | $299/yr | 2 | 10 |
| Business | $429/yr | $279/yr | $429/yr | 5 | 1,000 |
| Hobby | $99 one time | No renewal | Bring your own | None |
That works out to roughly a third off already: $50 off Starter, $100 off Pro and $150 off Business. The Hobby plan gives you 5 AI site generations with premium designs and support, but no hosting, so you need your own host.
What ZipWP Did Last Black Friday
In 2025, ZipWP's own Black Friday page advertised up to 41% off, with no coupon code and the discount applied automatically at checkout. Its deals roundup, last updated on 27 November 2025, listed the offer as 41% off all plans, valid from 17 November to 5 December 2025.
ZipWP was not discounted on its own. In the same window Brainstorm Force ran up to 40% off Astra, the Astra toolkits and Spectra Pro, and 42% off OttoKit lifetime plans. My Astra Black Friday tracker covers that side of the sale.
What to Expect This Year
Black Friday 2026 falls on 27 November, with Cyber Monday on 30 November. If Brainstorm Force follows its own pattern, the sale opens about ten days early and runs into early December. What I would expect, based on last year rather than any announcement:
- An automatic discount on the yearly plans, with nothing to type at checkout.
- The discount on the first year only. ZipWP already says renewals are at full price, so a Black Friday purchase still renews at $149, $299 or $429.
- Bundled offers across Astra, Spectra and SureForms, since ZipWP plans include those plugins.
I will not guess the exact 2026 percentage. When it is announced, this page gets the real numbers.
Should You Wait for Black Friday?
My honest advice depends on why you are buying:
- Wait if you are buying Pro or Business for client work and do not need it this month. The difference between today's price and last year's 41% off is worth a few weeks.
- Buy now if your business needs a site live this week. The first year discount is already in place, and a month without a website costs more than the extra saving.
- Use the free plan now either way. It gives you 2 AI site generations and 2 sandbox sites for 24 hours. ZipWP's refund policy is only 7 days and excludes refunds once you have generated a site, so test before you pay, sale or no sale.
The Cheapest Ways to Buy ZipWP Today
1. ZipWP's official coupon page
ZipWP runs an official coupon page that unlocks up to 15% extra on select plans, on top of the already discounted first year price. You enter your name, email and the plan you want, and the discount is applied for you. It is aimed mainly at new Pro and Business purchases.
2. A lifetime toolkit through Astra
This is the route most people miss. Astra's pricing page sells the same three tiers with ZipWP's AI platform included, and adds lifetime options:
| Astra plan | Matches | Yearly | Lifetime, one time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Astra Pro + AI | ZipWP Starter | $99, renews $149 | $279 (list $449) |
| Essential Toolkit + AI | ZipWP Pro | $199, renews $299 | $549 (list $899) |
| Business Toolkit + AI | ZipWP Business | $279, renews $429 | $799 (list $1,299) |
Read the lifetime terms carefully. The plugins are yours for good, but the AI platform and the included hosting run for 3 years from purchase and then renew yearly. Astra also offers a 14 day money back guarantee, twice ZipWP's 7 days. If you would have renewed ZipWP for three years anyway, Starter costs $99 plus $149 plus $149, or $397, so the $279 lifetime plan is clearly cheaper.
3. Hosting only
If you do not need the AI builder, ZipWP's hosting only plans start at $59 for the first year ($119 after) for one site with 10 GB of storage. And if you already have a host, the free Starter Templates plugin includes an AI site builder that only needs a free ZipWP account.
What ZipWP Costs After the First Year
| Plan | Year 1 today | Renewal | 3 year total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $99 | $149 | $397 |
| Pro | $199 | $299 | $797 |
| Business | $279 | $429 | $1,137 |
The free domain is only free for the first year; after that you pay normal renewal fees for the extension you chose. If you stop paying for ZipWP, your hosted site goes offline, so move it with a migration plugin before the plan ends. Hosting with a different company? See my Hostinger Black Friday guide and Cloudways promo code.
