Black Friday Software Deals by Category

Every Black Friday software deal we track, sorted into the categories people actually search for: AI tools, WordPress plugins, hosting, VPNs, SEO, design, developer and productivity apps. Pick a category to see this year’s confirmed offers and what each vendor ran last Black Friday. Vendors on these pages include SiteGround, Hostinger, NordVPN, Surfshark, Elementor and Kinsta.

Software deals follow a few patterns. Subscription products, such as hosting, VPNs and AI tools, discount the first term. WordPress plugins and themes discount the yearly licence, and some bring back lifetime licences. Mac apps and developer utilities are often a one-time purchase. Early-bird offers usually start in mid-November, and many run through Cyber Monday on 30 November.

How to pick

• Check the renewal price, since many discounts cover the first term only.
• Check the licence terms: number of sites or devices, and whether updates are included.
• Look at the refund window before you buy.

Most listed deals are last year’s offers until vendors announce their 2026 deals, and each category page switches an entry over by itself when that happens. To hear about new ones as they land, get a deal alert.
