We’re very excited to announce we’ve switched up our premium plans to better reflect how you actually use them.
The update highlights what these tools are really about, helping you build, launch, and manage websites with speed and confidence.
While the names and some of the details may have changed, the powerful features you rely on haven’t.
Whether you’re running a growing business or managing multiple client sites, you’ll find the same amazing value. Just with names that make more sense for what you do.
Why Did We Change the Names?
The only constant in life is change.
Heraclitus
We originally launched the Astra theme to solve our own problems.
We struggled to find a lightweight, highly customizable, and extensible WordPress theme, so we built our own.
Our goal was to reduce website development time by half for designers, developers, and business owners like you.
Since then, Astra has grown into an exceptionally popular DIY solution for anyone who wants to build websites.
It now powers over 1.8 million sites and has grown into one of the most complete website building solutions on the planet.
The Mini Agency and Agency plans used to be relevant to our core customer base.
That’s no longer accurate, which is why we changed them.
You don’t have to be an agency or a professional to use Astra. Literally anyone can build something to be proud of.
We wanted the plans to reflect that.
Different Plans, Same Value!
We think the Astra plans now better reflect how you use them. The products remain (mostly) the same and the value they offer is still outstanding!
Here’s a quick overview of what each bundle has to offer.
Astra Pro
The Astra Pro plan name is not changing and still reflects the pro-quality websites you can build with it.
Astra Pro provides advanced features like:
- Extensive range of page styling tools
- Custom header and footer building tools
- More layout types for posts and pages
- Support for webhooks
- Mega menu and off-canvas menu support
- Suite of powerful WooCommerce building tools

It’s a drag and drop visual creator that includes AI features and readymade templates to help you work faster and deliver better websites.
Premium Starter Templates include both free and premium website templates, including designs for Elementor and for the WordPress block editor.
The Business Toolkit (Formerly Agency Bundle)
We created the Business Toolkit because it includes everything you need to take a business online.

have a good one
Why isn’t the sticky header in the basic free Astra? That would make Astra the Best Free Theme on the planet. Is there a way I can add it without buying another plan? I am currently using the free version and found it to be an excellent product.
Hello Ron, there are many features that are unavailable with other Paid themes and available in the Free version of the Astra theme. We will surely consider the same in the future.
