That brings the recent, full-power Pi lineup pricing to this grim table, going by today’s prices on PiShop US:
| Model | 1GB | 2GB | 4GB | 8GB | 16GB |

Just for a quick comparison, the Pi 5 launched in 2023 with the 4GB variant starting at $60. The 16GB version debuted in January 2025 for just $120. It’s now more than 300 percent as expensive, almost entirely due to memory price increases. The various models are also experiencing shortages, with the usual scalping problems tagging along.
Upton says that the latest price increases are driven by a lack of alternatives, but that the current landscape is “ultimately temporary.” “We look forward to rolling back our price increases when memory costs fall once again.” Here’s hoping.
