How to keep today's Seats.aero price
What you should do depends on where you stand:
- New subscribers: subscribe by November 8.
- Current subscribers: keep your subscription active. If you cancel and come back later, expect to pay the new price.
- Switching from monthly to annual: do it before November 9 if you want the $99.99 annual price.
On that last point, Seats.aero's documentation is clear: you move to the annual price in effect on the day you switch, and you can't return to your old monthly rate. The unused part of your last monthly payment goes toward the annual plan.
In addition, Seats.aero's terms leave older pricing at the company's discretion, and past payments aren't refundable.
Monthly or annual: the math
Here is what you'd pay for 12 months of Pro:
- Annual, before November 9: $99.99
- Annual, starting November 9: $109.99
- Monthly, at $9.99: $119.88
- Monthly, at $12.99: $155.88
The $99.99 annual plan pays off once you would have paid for 8 months at $12.99. Below that, paying month by month only when you're planning a trip costs less.
If you already pay today's monthly rate and use the tool all year, switching to annual before November 9 saves you $19.89 over 12 months. After that date, the savings drop to $9.89, and you give up your monthly rate.
Should you subscribe before November 9?
Yes, if you plan to keep Pro for at least 8 months out of 12. However, the deadline alone doesn't justify a subscription, because locking in $9.99 a month does nothing if you cancel afterward.
Seats.aero is most useful when you book more than 60 days out or watch for scarce premium seats. For example, you can use it to spot Japan Airlines award space before you transfer points. If you book closer to departure, the free version often covers what you need.
Our take
The increase is modest on the annual plan and sharper on the monthly plan. If you use Seats.aero several months a year, the annual Seats.aero Pro plan at $99.99 is the best choice before November 9. For occasional use, stay on the free version and pay for a single month when you need it.
Whichever plan you choose, confirm the seat on the program's site before you transfer points, since Seats.aero mainly shows cached data. To earn those points, see our guide to the best credit cards.

When does the Seats.aero Pro price go up?
The increase takes effect on November 9, 2026. The Pro plan then costs $12.99 a month or $109.99 a year. To keep today's price, subscribe by November 8.
Will current Seats.aero subscribers pay more?

Can I switch from monthly to annual and keep my rate?
Not after November 9. Seats.aero moves you to the annual price in effect on the day you switch, and you can't return to your old monthly rate. If you want the $99.99 annual plan, switch before November 9. The unused part of your last monthly payment goes toward the annual plan.
Is Seats.aero still free?
Yes, the free version stays available for search and alerts on flights in the next 60 days. To search up to a year out or use live search, you need the Pro plan.
Is Seats.aero Pro still worth it?
Yes, if you often book more than 60 days out or watch for scarce premium seats. The $99.99 annual plan pays off after 8 months of use compared with the new monthly price. For one trip a year, paying for 1 or 2 months costs less.
