Pro
GlassHome is free and stays free. Pro is a one-time purchase that unlocks two extras on top of the free dashboard. Pay once, it is yours, there is no subscription.
Free vs Pro
The full local dashboard is free forever and needs no account or payment.
| Free | Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| Connect to Home Assistant | Yes | Yes |
All official @glasshome widgets | Yes | Yes |
| All 7 theme presets | Yes | Yes |
| Account required | No | Yes (to hold the license) |
| All v1 updates | Yes | Yes |
| Community widgets from the Hub | Yes | |
| Theming (theme editor, custom backgrounds, theme upload) | Yes |
Everything in Free stays in Free. Pro adds community widgets (install widgets published to the Hub registry, not just the official set) and theming (the in-app theme editor, custom backgrounds, and theme upload). Custom themes already saved on your Dash stay usable without Pro; only creating and editing them is gated, so nothing you built breaks if Pro lapses.
Pricing
Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. The standing price is $39.99. The current Early Bird offer is $19.99 and runs until end of June 2026. The current offer and any countdown are shown on the pricing page. Whatever price you buy at is what you pay, with nothing recurring. All v1 updates are included.
One-time, not a subscription
Buying Pro grants a permanent license on your account. There is no renewal and no recurring charge.
How to buy
- Sign in (or create an account) on the Hub. An account is what holds the license.
- Go to the pricing page and start checkout. Payment is handled by Polar.
- After checkout completes, the Pro entitlement lands on your account automatically and your license card appears in your account dashboard.
You do not need an account to use GlassHome locally; you only need one to hold a Pro license or to publish widgets.
Managing your license
- License card. Your Pro license, including your sequential member number, is shown on your account dashboard. The member number is assigned once and never changes.
- Sign in anywhere. Pro is tied to your account, not a device. Link and unlink Dash instances whenever you like; signing in on another device or a fresh install restores Pro.
- Refunds. Checkout and billing run through Polar. If you need a refund, email [email protected] and I will sort it out.
Questions about pricing
The FAQ and the pricing page cover the common questions. If something is still unclear, ask, I would rather answer than have you guess.
