Dear Solidres subscribers,

Thank you for putting your valuable trust in Solidres for all these years. Although we have tried our best to keep the expenses low, our operating costs have increased significantly due to global factors in recent times. After carefully reviewing the finances, we have made a tough decision to increase Solidres prices for all subscription levels as below:

Subscription level	New price
SINGLE	$99 / 06 months
BUNDLE	$149 / 06 months
HUB	$279 / 06 months
DEVELOPER	$499 / 18 months

The change will be effective from August 01, 2024. Our website will reflect the new prices on the same day. Till then, you can take benefit of the old prices.

We thank you for your understanding and support.

Sincerely,
Solidres Team
