  Hi,

  Yes, that’s if you want a ‘Premium Theme‘ it’s a once off payment and is yours ‘forever’, but there are also plenty of free themes as well.

  A Personal, Premium or Business Plan, gives you unlimited free Premium Themes, the last two also let’s you customize with css, add audio and video (you can use youtube video’s with the free plan).

  Hope this helps,
  Sasha

  Bit of a typo, before, but more of an outline on what the different Plans give you is at the link above.

  @bungavnk Just to clarify, besides all the available free themes, only the Business Plan includes the use of all Premium themes without additional charge.

  If upgrading to the Personal or Premium Plan, you can use any of the free themes or purchase a license for a single Premium theme separately.

  And lastly, this refers to the themes in our Theme Showcase https://wordpress.com/themes/ We cannot upload any other 3rd party theme to our sites. https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/
