A heads-up on the Arduino® UNO™ Q board pricing – straight from Marcello Majonchi

A message from Arduino CPO – Marcello Majonchi

Dear Builders, Engineers, and Innovators,

Arduino is built on one belief: powerful technology should be accessible to everyone who wants to make, learn, or innovate with it. Staying true to that principle in every decision we make sometimes means making tough calls about what we charge for it. So let me get straight to the point and break the news: the time has come where at Arduino we finally have to increase the price for UNO Q. 

Effective July 6th, we are adjusting the price of UNO Q. UNO Q 2GB will increase from $44 to $59, while UNO Q 4GB from $59 to $79. 

If you follow the news across the tech sector you’ll surely know that memory prices have been on a rally, fueled by the enduring demand for AI applications. Over the last six months alone, our memory component costs have more than doubled. Arduino is not immune to these effects but, thanks to support from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., we held off increasing the price for as long as possible, enabling the community to do what it does best: innovating and sharing projects. However, with no near-term signs of relief in memory supply or pricing, continuing to absorb these costs is no longer possible.

Since its launch in October 2025, I’ve been amazed at the scale of uptake for UNO Q and by the amazing breadth of projects developed using the board. You’ve exceeded every expectation! Personally, I have loved the ingenious innovation from the community – my personal favorites being the Invisible Mess Glasses based on UNO Q 2GB and the AI Plant Guardian based on UNO Q 4GB. 

The price increase takes effect on July 6th, so you still have the opportunity to take advantage of the current pricing for a few more days, and for a limited time you can get a hold of a 4GB board for what will be the 2GB board’s new price!

Thank you for the trust you place in Arduino, and for the energy you bring to every build. What you create with these boards is why we do this work. I look forward to seeing what you all will build, channeling your creativity into your next amazing project on UNO Q.
