Price Increases for 2GB Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5
During our last round of price increases, in April, we were able to hold down the price of the 1GB and 2GB Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5 products, while increasing the price of higher-density variants. This has now become unsustainable, and from today we are increasing the price of the 2GB variants by $12.50, to $67.50 for Raspberry Pi 4 and $77.50 for Raspberry Pi 5. Prices for other products, including the 1GB variants of Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5 and the 2GB variants of Compute Module 4 and Compute Module 5, remain unchanged.

Price increases for 2GB Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5 1st Oct 2026 Eben Upton 5 comments Most of you will know by now that the cost of memory has risen very steeply over the past two years and continues to increase; like other companies, we have had to raise the prices of many of our products in order to keep up with the cost of production. During our last round of price increases, in April, we were able to hold down the price of the 1GB and 2GB Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5 products, while increasing the price of higher-density variants. This has now become unsustainable, and from today we are increasing the price of the 2GB variants by $12.50, to $67.50 for Raspberry Pi 4 and $77.50 for Raspberry Pi 5.
