January 8th, 2026SFS2X price update, starting Feb 2nd, 2026

Starting February 2nd, 2026, we’ll be adjusting our prices for SmartFoxServer 2X. 
We know price increases are never fun to hear about, so we wanted to give you a heads up and some context.

Here’s the thing: we haven’t touched SmartFoxServer 2X prices since the very launch in 2011, fifteen years ago. That’s a pretty long stretch, and we’re honestly proud we’ve been able to hold the line for so long. But as you’ve probably noticed in your own life, the cost of just about everything has gone up significantly during that time and we’ve reached the point where we need to make this adjustment.

If you’ve been thinking about picking up one or more perpetual SFS2X licenses, now’s the time to lock in the current pricing. You’ve got the rest of January 2026 to purchase at our existing rates, before the price update.

We really appreciate your understanding, and even more, we appreciate your continued support over the years. If you have any questions about this change, don’t hesitate to reach out.
