  Hi @dsgwoodart,

  To install plugins on WordPress.com, your site needs to be on the Business plan or a higher tier. The Business plan starts at $40/month or $300/year (billed annually). This plan unlocks access to install plugins, as well as other advanced features like custom themes and enhanced SEO tools.
