One new 8GB RAM board · no starter kit or accessories
PiShop listed the Raspberry Pi 5 8GB board at $175 and Adafruit at $200 in our September 21 check. That is a $25 item-price difference for one new board. Shipping and applicable sales tax are additional and uncalculated; Adafruit’s published Raspberry Pi policy requires a verified account with 2FA.

Item-price comparisons exclude shipping. Unknown shipping is never treated as free. Dated US item prices, not live offers or delivered totals. Applicable sales tax and shipping remain uncalculated. Adafruit’s published Raspberry Pi policy requires a verified account with 2FA, despite optional sign-in at the initial checkout step. Final checkout eligibility was not tested. One board only; no paid-member discount or coupon is used.
For one new 8GB board, PiShop’s observed item price was $25 lower than Adafruit’s: $175 versus $200, or 12.5% below the higher observed price. This compares two stores at one point in time. It is not a discount from a manufacturer list price, a 30-day low or a delivered-price saving.
The prices here cover the board. A case, power supply, cooling, storage and display cable can add to a first build. Compare the same memory size and make a checklist of accessories you already own before deciding whether a kit is useful. A cheaper 4GB board or a more expensive 8GB kit is not a like-for-like alternative.
PiShop’s checked offer supported guest checkout. Adafruit’s product page showed a limit of two, while its terms retained a one-board limit and a verified-account/2FA condition for high-demand Raspberry Pi purchases. This comparison is for quantity one. Budget time for any account checks and confirm shipping to your address; stock shown here is not a delivery-date promise.
Price comparison research conducted with the Muchita Shopping extension and independently checked before publication.
Google Trends showed “raspberry pi 5 price” and “raspberry pi 5 kit” among the top related US queries for Raspberry Pi 5 over the past 90 days. This supports a price-and-package buying question; it is not evidence of rising demand or a measured search volume for the 8GB model.

An actual Muchita Shopping extension comparison started from Adafruit’s US 8GB board and found the PiShop offer. AI-assisted editorial checks then inspected both exact pages and their price, package, stock, condition, tax and purchase terms. A separate AI reviewer checked the evidence before publication. Other search candidates were not fully verified, so the comparison covers only these two stores and does not claim the lowest price on the internet. No order was placed.
