TechSoup pricing
TechSoup publishes 2 tiers. Below is each one, what it adds over the tier beneath it, and where the ladder stops being worth climbing for most people.
As of 30 August 2026, TechSoup pricing is free, then $200/year across 2 published tiers. Figures are the vendor's list prices as recorded on this page's last check; the vendor's site is the final word.

TechSoup 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TechSoup Core | Free | 4 | Entry tier |
| TechSoup Plus | $200/year | 11 | +$200/year, 11 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.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the TechSoup badges page.
Before you pay for TechSoup
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 Free and $200/year, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
TechSoup runs on web, and is published by CompuMentor of San Francisco, USA. The full record is on the TechSoup review, and the rest of the category is under best nonprofits tools.
