Price Increases for 2GB Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5

Raspberry Pi is raising the price of its 2GB single-board computers because memory costs have risen sharply over the past two years. Effective 1 October 2026, the 2GB Raspberry Pi 4 will increase by $12.50 to $67.50 and the 2GB Raspberry Pi 5 will increase by $12.50 to $77.50. Earlier price rises in April spared the 1GB and 2GB models, but continued memory-price pressure made another increase unavoidable for the 2GB variants. Prices for other products, including the 1GB Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 and the 2GB Compute Module 4 and 5, remain unchanged.

Customers are urged to reassess requirements and avoid paying for excess RAM or newer models they do not need; older boards such as the Raspberry Pi 3B/3A+/3B+ may be a lower-cost alternative for many projects. Guidance on memory optimisation appears in Raspberry Pi Official Magazine, and businesses can request bespoke advice. Buyers should use Raspberry Pi Approved Resellers to ensure official pricing and avoid counterfeit or inflated listings. The memory supply situation is described as temporary, with a promise to reverse price increases when component costs fall. Community comments appended to the announcement highlight demand and delivery queries for low-power models and calls for lighter OS options to suit low-RAM devices.
