Relevanssi Premium

Relevanssi Premium costs €402 once for unlimited sites. The annual plan costs €120 a year, so the lifetime license pays for itself after 41 months. Over five years you save €198 compared with renewing every year.

Yes, if your visitors search a lot and the default WordPress search keeps missing posts, products or documents. The permanent license costs €402 once for unlimited sites, the yearly license €120, so the one-time price pays off after about 41 months. Both prices are shown without VAT. Updates and support: For life, limited to the major version you buy. A future major release may need a new license.

The math works best for agencies and site owners with several projects: there are no activations and no site limit, so one license covers every client site. If you only need relevance sorting, fuzzy matching and custom field search, the free Relevanssi already does that. Pay for Premium once you need PDF content, user profiles, multisite search or redirects. The money-back guarantee covers 30 days, which is the only way to test Premium because there is no trial.

The free Relevanssi on wordpress.org already replaces the default search: results sorted by relevance, partial word matching, phrase search, custom fields, shortcode content, comments and taxonomies, highlighted excerpts, search logs, synonyms and stopwords. For many blogs that is enough, and it is the best way to see how the index behaves on your hosting.

Relevanssi Premium adds the parts larger sites ask for: the text of PDF and Office attachments, user profiles and taxonomy term pages as results, one search across a multisite network, weights for post types, taxonomies and new posts, AND and NOT operators for visitors, better spelling suggestions, related posts, redirects for chosen search terms, settings export and WP CLI commands.

Hosted search services and most WordPress search plugins renew every year. The vendor comesio solutions sells a permanent license for Relevanssi Premium on its own pricing page next to the yearly license, both for unlimited sites. The permanent license is a one-time payment. Updates and support for the current major version: For life.

The search index lives in your own WordPress database, so no query leaves your server and nothing depends on an outside service. That also means the index needs space: plan for roughly three times the size of your posts table.

After the purchase you download Relevanssi Premium from your account, deactivate the free version and activate Premium. Choose the post types and fields to index, switch on attachment indexing if you want PDF content in the results and build the index. WooCommerce products, SKUs and attributes in custom fields become searchable the same way. The price was checked on Oct 9, 2026 on the vendor pricing page.
