Raspberry Pi increases prices for 2GB Pi 4 and Pi 5 models

Raspberry Pi has announced price increases for its 2GB Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5 models, effective October 1, 2026. Both models will see a $12.50 price hike, bringing the 2GB Pi 4 to $67.50 and the 2GB Pi 5 to $77.50.

The company attributed the decision to the rising cost of memory components, stating that the current industry economics have made previous pricing “unsustainable.” While the company has previously used lower-density models to offer affordability, the steep rise in memory costs has necessitated these adjustments.

Raspberry Pi CEO Eben Upton noted that the company hopes to reverse these increases once memory prices eventually subside. In the meantime, the company is advising customers to evaluate their specific RAM requirements and consider older, more affordable models like the Raspberry Pi 3 if their projects allow.

This move follows previous price fluctuations; for instance, the 2GB Pi 4 launched at $45 in 2019 and has seen various price changes since. Meanwhile, 1GB variants of the Pi 4 and Pi 5, as well as certain Compute Modules, remain at their current price points.
