I checked nine tools that bloggers pay for on 7 November 2026: SEO plugins, a speed plugin, email platforms, an SEO suite, a writing assistant, a content optimiser and a page builder. Three have a live Black Friday deal and one has announced its sale. The other five show nothing yet. Every price below is from the vendor's own pricing page, with the renewal price next to it.
Hosting: the deal every blogger needs first
Every blog needs hosting, and it usually costs more than every tool on this page put together, so it's where Black Friday saves you the most. These are the three hosts I'd pick, with what each one costs over three years:
| Deal | Promo price | Renews at | 3-year cost | Ends | Link |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Cloudways 80% off for 2 months + unlimited free migrations Code BFCM802 |
$2.80/mo |
$14/mo | $481.60 | Dec 4, 2026 | Get deal → |
|
InMotion Hosting Launch 64% off shared hosting (3-year term) |
$4.99/mo | At checkout | $179.64 | Not stated | Get deal → |
|
Hostinger Premium 85% off web hosting |
$1.99/mo |
$10.99/mo | $71.64 | Dec 14, 2026 | Get deal → |
Prices as listed on each host's own site on Nov 7, 2026. Promo prices depend on the billing term, so check the term and the renewal price at checkout.
Cloudways is what I host my own sites on: managed cloud hosting, so your blog gets its own server instead of sharing one. Before that I was on InMotion Hosting, and I rate its support highly. Its Black Friday sale opens on 9 November, so see the InMotion Black Friday page for the latest prices. For the lowest price, Hostinger's Black Friday sale is $1.99 a month for 48 months.
Every hosting deal, including HostGator, SiteGround and VPS plans, is compared on the Black Friday hosting deals page.

SEO: Rank Math PRO
Rank Math's PRO Anniversary Sale takes 38% off PRO, 37% off Business and 41% off Agency, all billed yearly. PRO covers personal sites, which is the right plan for most bloggers. The Business plan is $17.59 a month (was $27.99) if you run client sites. Rank Math also sells a Rank Math + WP Rocket bundle at $9.99 a month (was $13.99).
Yoast SEO Premium is $118.80 a year before its sale. Yoast's Black Friday page says "our biggest sale of the year is coming" but doesn't give a date or a discount yet.
Pick one SEO plugin, not both. If you're already on Yoast and happy with it, wait for its sale. If you're choosing now, Rank Math PRO is the cheaper of the two at $67.08 for the first year.
Site speed: WP Rocket
WP Rocket's sale is the biggest discount on this page and the first to end, on 28 November. The 1-year plans are 40% off and the 3-year plans are 60% off:
| Plan | Websites | Regular | 1 year (40% off) | 3 years (60% off) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single | 1 | $5/mo | $3/mo | $1.95/mo |
| Plus | 3 | $10/mo | $6/mo | $3.91/mo |
| Multi | 50 | $25/mo | $15/mo | $9.79/mo |
The 3-year price is billed up front for all three years. WP Rocket says the discount applies to your first purchase and renewals are at the regular price.
Email list: Kit
Kit (formerly ConvertKit) has an extra 25% off the first year of its Pro plan: $50 a month instead of $66 at 1,000 subscribers, billed yearly. Kit labels it a limited-time offer and doesn't show an end date. If you're starting a list from zero, you don't need it yet: Kit's free plan covers up to 10,000 subscribers. MailerLite has no Black Friday deal on its pricing page either, and its free plan covers 250 subscribers.
Tools with no Black Friday deal yet
These had no Black Friday deal on their own pricing page on 7 November 2026. I'll add each one when its sale starts.

|---|---|---|
| Semrush | SEO research | 7-day free trial. SEO plan $139/mo, or $117.33/mo billed yearly |
| Grammarly | Writing | Free trial of Pro. Pro is $12/mo |
| Surfer | Content optimisation | Up to 17% off on yearly billing. Discovery from $49/mo, billed yearly |
| Elementor | Page builder | No sale, and no prices shown on the pricing page |
| MailerLite | Free plan up to 250 subscribers. Paid plans from $12/mo |
How I checked these deals
I opened each tool's pricing or Black Friday page on 7 November 2026 and copied the price, the billing term and the renewal terms as the vendor shows them. A deal goes on this page only if I saw it on the vendor's own site, not on a coupon site. Deals hide automatically when their end date passes, and I re-check every price daily from 21 to 30 November.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best Black Friday hosting deal for bloggers?
Cloudways is my pick: 80% off for two months with code BFCM802, until 4 December 2026, and it's what I host my own sites on. InMotion Hosting is the one I'd pick for support. For the lowest price, Hostinger is $1.99 a month on a 48-month term.
Which blogging tools have Black Friday deals in 2026?
On 7 November 2026: WP Rocket (up to 60% off until 28 November), Rank Math PRO (up to 40% off) and Kit (an extra 25% off the first year of Pro). Yoast has announced a sale that isn't live yet. Semrush, Grammarly, Surfer, Elementor and MailerLite showed no Black Friday deal.
Does Semrush have a Black Friday deal in 2026?
Not yet. On 7 November its pricing page showed only the usual 7-day free trial and up to 17% off for annual billing. The SEO plan is $139 a month, or $117.33 a month billed yearly. I'll update this page if a deal appears.
Do Black Friday prices on blogging tools renew at the same price?
No. All three live deals apply to the first billing period only. Rank Math PRO renews at $8.99 a month and Kit Pro at $66 a month (1,000 subscribers). WP Rocket renews at its regular price, which it shows at checkout.
When does the WP Rocket Black Friday deal end?
WP Rocket's pricing page says the offer is valid until 28 November 2026. The Single plan (1 website) is $3 a month on a 1-year plan or $1.95 a month on a 3-year plan billed up front.
Is it worth buying a 3-year plan on Black Friday?
Only for a tool you already use and know you'll keep. A 3-year WP Rocket plan is 60% off instead of 40%, but you pay for three years up front. For a tool you haven't tried, take the 1-year price or a free plan first.
