Pricing plans
PBworks offers several pricing plans to fit your individual needs. Check out our pricing plans below, or view them by going to plans.pbworks.com.
Basic Edition
Basic Edition is our free service that allows you to use PBworks without cost or obligation. Many of the enhanced page and folder security features are not available in the free version of the service, however, you can still use your free workspace to create pages and upload files. The Basic Edition is limited to non-commercial use only.
Classroom Edition
For teachers and librarians, the PBworks Classroom plan allows you to add classroom accounts to your single workspace. Classroom workspaces come with 40GB of storage space and up to 100 users, with plenty of customization features to make this a fun place for your students. You can instantly pay for this workspace package via credit card.
Campus Edition
If you're planning on rolling out PBworks to your entire campus or school district, the PBworks Campus plan provides great value. It includes a thousand users, 40GB of storage, and all the security settings you'll need. Contact a sales representative to get started on rolling this out at your school.
Public Edition
The PBworks Public plan is great for groups like barcamp, fan clubs, or conferences - a workspace that is meant to serve a community of users. This workspace package lets you have unlimited users and 40GB of storage space along with full customization, but does not allow you to restrict any visitors from viewing any pages or folders. Contact a sales representative to add this plan to your workspace.

Effects of downgraded workspaces
 |
Important note: Workspaces in the free edition can only be used for non-commercial purposes, and when a trial of the Business Edition (or Standard Edition) service ends, the service is completely terminated (if licensing has not been settled with Sales). Your data will not be deleted, however, you will lose access to it. While there is no free edition of PBworks Business Edition, please contact Sales if you need your trial extended, and it will be decided on a case-by-case basis.

About
A workspace downgrade happens only when a legacy user (users who had a Gold, Silver, or Platinum account with PBworks) of PBworks terminates their paid subscription, or a Classroom or Campus Edition workspace no longer has the Campus or Classroom Edition status assigned to it (either through lack of payment, or a Campus Administrator revokes the license of the Campus Edition workspace).
What happens when a Classroom, Campus, or legacy is downgraded to a free basic workspace?
- PBworks will not delete your files, even if you're over your storage limit. Your file space will be reduced to the basic free level (2 gigabytes), preventing further uploads if your workspace is over that limit. However, you will not lose your files.
- SSL for private workspaces will be disabled except during login.
- Domain mapping ( yourdomain.com => yourworkspace.pbworks.com) will stop working.
- Your custom security settings will remain, but you will lose the ability to make changes.
- Custom workspace CSS will be disabled.
- Full zip export will become unavailable.
Silver/Gold/Platinum workspace plans
PBworks will honor your pricing and package level until your pricing renewal date comes up. At that time, we'll ask you to switch to one of our new plans. If you have questions about what plan is most appropriate to switch to, please contact a sales representative or contact the support team through the "Help" link on your workspace.
