The 16GB Raspberry Pi 5 now costs $205, a $60 increase, but it’s not the only low-cost PC from the company getting a price hike.
Yikes. The memory shortage is so bad that Raspberry Pi is raising prices for the second time in two months by as much as $60.
The price hikes affect the company’s generally low-cost computers, which can be used in custom projects. Raspberry Pi Founder Eben Upton blames the decision on rising memory costs that have continued into 2026, causing the price of some parts to more than double “over the last quarter”, he wrote in a Monday blog post.
“As a result, we now need to make further increases to our own pricing, affecting all Raspberry Pi 4 and 5, and Compute Module 4 and 5, products that have 2GB or more of memory,” he says.
