Plans
We use tiered pricing because different teams have different needs, and charging everyone the same amount for features they won't use is pointless. You can go month-to-month (cancel whenever) or commit annually for 20% off plus some training perks.
Classic bumps the limit to 1000 m² (10764 ft²) and adds the modelling features most people actually need, plus basic team collaboration and some report credits. This is where most small teams land.
Plus is built for mid-sized teams running larger simulations, up to 15,000 m² (161459 ft²). You also get project management tools here, which matters once you're juggling multiple concurrent projects.
Premium gives you the full suite. Modelling up to 100,000 m² (1076391 ft²), unlimited admin access, multi-region support. If you're running operations across different locations or need that scale, this is the tier.
Enterprise is Premium on an isolated server. Pricing depends on your region and infrastructure requirements. Maximum flexibility, maximum security, and the kind of setup you negotiate rather than click through.
Supplier and Academic Plans are also provided. Students enjoy a 6-month free trial by signing up with your academic provider's email. To access this offer, use your academic email only, personal emails aren’t eligible, and account details can’t be transferred.
