Samsung is set to roll out new paid tiers for its SmartThings API in October 2026. This change will introduce a monthly fee for access, impacting the developer community and users alike.
Among the new pricing options, a $4.99 monthly plan will be available specifically for non-commercial, individual developers. This move marks a significant shift in how Samsung manages access to its smart home technology.
As these changes take effect, both developers and users will need to adapt to the new pricing structure, which could influence the development and use of SmartThings applications.
