PhpStorm plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Individual | $24/month | 3 | Entry tier |
| Organization | $34/month | 3 | +$10/month, 2 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.
Individual
$24/monthThe entry tier. It covers personal use license, access to phpstorm, free for students and open-source maintainers.
Organization
$34/monthOver Individual, this tier adds:
- Business use license
- Volume and renewal discounts
What the product covers
The full PhpStorm feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
core
- PHP-aware coding assistance
- Integrated debugger
- Front-end tooling
- Database tools
integration
- Version control integration
- Docker and remote deployment
People bring PhpStorm in for building php web applications with laravel or symfony, debugging php code with xdebug, working across php, html, css, and javascript in one project, managing databases alongside application code. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to PhpStorm are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
Before you pay for PhpStorm
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 2 tiers between $24/month and $34/month, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare PhpStorm against the tools that do have one before committing.
PhpStorm runs on windows, mac, linux, and is published by JetBrains of Prague, Czech Republic. The full record is on the PhpStorm review.
PhpStorm pricing questions
- How much does PhpStorm cost?
- PhpStorm publishes 2 tiers, from $24/month for Individual up to $34/month for Organization. The cheapest paid tier is $24/month.
- Does PhpStorm have a free plan?
- Not on the record we hold: PhpStorm is listed as subscription. Whether a free trial is offered is not something this record captures, so check the vendor's site.
- What is the difference between Individual and Organization on PhpStorm?
- Organization costs $34/month against $24/month, and adds business use license, volume and renewal discounts.
- Is the Organization plan on PhpStorm worth it?
- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is business use license, volume and renewal discounts. It costs $34/month against $24/month for Individual. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.
- What am I actually paying for with PhpStorm?
- The record lists 6 features across 2 areas: core, integration. In practice it is brought in for building php web applications with laravel or symfony, debugging php code with xdebug, working across php, html, css, and javascript in one project.
- Does PhpStorm charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 2 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these PhpStorm prices current?
- They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
- What should I compare PhpStorm against before paying?
- Nothing else in this directory is filed close enough to PhpStorm to make a useful price comparison.
