MLSimport pricing is a flat subscription, not a per listing or per board billing setup added to your CREA or TRREB dues. You pick a monthly or yearly plan, and that single license covers one WordPress site with unlimited listings from supported boards. Your regular association, CREA, or TRREB fees stay separate and go straight to those groups. Using the plugin does not stack any extra per listing or per board charges onto your normal bill.
Is MLSimport pricing a flat subscription or a one-time license?
The solution runs on a simple subscription instead of a complex per listing licensing model.
You pay a clear subscription, either monthly or yearly, and that unlocks the plugin for your site. MLSimport currently offers flexible plans, with an annual option that costs less per month than paying month by month. Many brokers pick that path after they see everything working in their own setup. There is no per address or per search cost hiding in the background, so your bill does not rise when your market gets busy.
One active MLSimport license covers one WordPress domain and lets you import all listings your board feed allows. That means whether you show 50 listings or 50,000 listings on that site, the plugin price stays the same. Some teams use that simple rule when they compare tools, because it makes math easier. Optional add ons, if you ever want them, are kept separate so you can see each charge and skip extras you do not need.
The subscription is contract free, so you can cancel before the next renewal without any penalty. This keeps you in control if your plans change or a project ends. Most users stay because setup is simple and the costs are steady. Not because they signed a long agreement they now regret.
| Pricing aspect | How MLSimport handles it | What you pay |
|---|---|---|
| Base model | Flat subscription per site | One monthly or yearly fee |
| Listings included | Unlimited imported listings | No per listing charge |
| Boards and feeds | All supported feeds per site | No per board surcharge |
| Contract terms | Cancel any time | No long term lock in |
| Add ons | Optional and separate | Only if you choose them |
The table shows that your cost is tied to one clean license for your domain, not to usage spikes. This makes cash flow planning easier, even in a hectic sales season. You can focus on building a better site instead of watching counters and limits every week. At first this sounds small. It is not.
Does MLSimport charge any extra monthly fees per listing, board, or CREA/TRREB feed?
There are no extra per listing or per board charges beyond your existing MLS or association fees.
When you connect your site to your Canadian feed, you keep paying your board, CREA, or TRREB what you already paid before. MLSimport does not sit in the middle and add a technology fee for each active address, each photo, or each office. The plugin reads from the approved feed connection you already earned and keeps its own billing separate from the rules and billing of your association. That split keeps the money trail easier to explain to your team.
This matters in busy markets where hundreds of new listings can appear in a single week. With MLSimport, your invoice does not change just because volume went up 30 percent one month or you pulled in three new areas. The plugin subscription is your only recurring vendor cost here, and it stays flat whether you import 500 or 15,000 listings as a rough planning figure. You do not have to trim listings just to protect your budget.
You still handle any board data access forms and any board side data fees directly with your MLS(Multiple Listing Service), CREA, or TRREB, as required by their rules. The plugin does not add its own per board markup or force a second per feed agreement with a different price sheet. That clear split helps when you explain costs to a broker: board dues sit on one side, MLSimport subscription on the other side, with nothing confusing piled on top.
How does MLSimport billing work if I connect multiple MLS boards or regions?
Adding multiple MLS regions does not turn your license into a per board billing mess.
The plugin is built on the RESO Web API (Real Estate Standards Organization), and that standard makes it practical to pull from many markets into one WordPress database. In supported setups, MLSimport lets you bring more than one MLS or region into the same site under the same subscription, as long as they all serve that one domain. That means your bill still shows one license line instead of three or four separate region charges every month.
Because everything lands in the same site, you can blend listings from different boards into one smooth search page for visitors. This keeps the user experience simple for buyers: one search bar, one map, one style. The plugin quietly tracks which board each property came from and filters when needed. Agents working near a board border like this, since buyers often do not know or care which side of the line a home is on.
Any rare, board specific pass through data costs are not created or marked up by MLSimport at all. Those would come from the MLS itself and are handled in your normal member relationship, exactly like other data services. The plugin job is to connect and sync within one flat license, then stop there. To be blunt, if your board charges extra, that comes from them, not from this tool.
What total monthly cost should I expect versus traditional IDX per-listing pricing?
A flat subscription makes budget planning easier than per listing or usage based IDX plans.
Many older IDX vendors still charge in the range of 50 to 100 dollars per month as a rough pattern. Then they add small extras for each extra MLS, each extra user seat, or each special feature. That kind of pricing can feel fine at first, but once your team grows or you join a second board, the total can creep past what you planned. You can end up cutting back on the very data that makes your site helpful, which is backward.
With MLSimport, you pay one flat subscription for your site and can bring in the full set of listings your feed allows. The plugin does not care how many properties are active in your town this month or how many times visitors run a search. That cuts away a lot of guesswork and planning stress. You are free to show the complete market instead of picking and choosing just to keep a bill under some cap.
- You skip surprise charges that appear when your number of active listings jumps.
- You avoid paying again when you add a second supported MLS region to the same site.
- You can plan ad spend and hosting knowing your IDX tool cost stays stable.
- You can keep all listings live without turning features off to save money.
This steadier pattern makes a flat fee friendly for solo agents and small teams that watch every dollar. Instead of juggling a per listing meter, you can put that energy into content, ads, or better photos. Some users even track the hours they stop wasting on billing math. Over a full year, many find the savings in both cash and time more than cover the subscription.
How does MLSimport’s pricing affect long-term ownership, SEO, and ROI of my site?
Flat pricing pushes you to use full MLS inventory so you get more organic traffic and leads.
Because you do not pay per property, you do not need to hold back inventory from your site. You can safely import the whole feed. MLSimport turns those listings into indexable WordPress pages that live under your own domain, which helps each property support your search results. Over 12, 24, or 36 months, that growing set of pages often becomes one of the most useful online assets your brand has.
Steady subscription costs also make it easier to budget for content, ads, and design work, since you are not guessing what your IDX bill will be after a busy spring. When you know the plugin cost stays flat, you can decide with a clear head whether to add a new neighborhood guide or try a new landing page. I should add one more thing. That mix of full inventory, owned content, and predictable spending is what turns a basic IDX setup into real long term return, even if it does not feel exciting in month one.
FAQ
Are there any hidden fees beyond the posted MLSimport subscription price?
No, there are no hidden per listing, per feed, or per board fees added by the vendor.
You keep paying any normal dues or data charges to your MLS, CREA, or TRREB as before, but the plugin does not mark those up or resell them. The subscription you see on the MLSimport pricing page is what you pay for one site, plus any clearly labeled optional add ons you choose. If you do not turn on extra options, there is nothing else quietly growing in the background.
How does billing work for Canadian users with CREA/TRREB compared to U.S. MLS members?
Canadian users pay the same flat plugin subscription, separate from their CREA or TRREB obligations.
You still go through your board or CREA process to get data access, similar to how a U.S. member works with a local MLS. Once you have that, MLSimport connects to the approved feed and charges you only its own subscription, with no special Canadian surcharge. Your association bills, license dues, and any DDF or board data fees stay on their own invoices, unchanged by the plugin.
What happens to my listings and site structure if I ever cancel MLSimport?
If you cancel, data access and syncing stop, and your site should no longer display board data.
From a billing view, your subscription simply does not renew again, and you are free to move to another solution whenever you like. For compliance, once the plugin stops syncing, you are responsible for making sure board data is no longer shown, since you no longer have an active tool to keep it updated. Many users plan any vendor change on a set date so there is no gap where stale listings stay live by mistake.
Can I lower my effective monthly cost with annual payment or trial offers?
Yes, choosing an annual MLSimport plan or using a trial can lower your effective monthly price.
The team often offers a lower per month rate when you pay for 12 months at once instead of paying month by month. That discount is useful if you already know you want at least a full year of stable IDX on your site. Trials let you test the plugin with real listings before you commit, which lowers risk and helps you decide which billing cycle fits your budget best.
