Licences and pricing
A fair price, and software that stays yours.
Here is the licence pricing we plan for ARCYNDRA CAD 1.0: almost 4 times cheaper than AutoCAD LT, and the version you have paid for is yours to keep.
Estimated pricing. ARCYNDRA CAD is being designed. The prices and conditions on this page are our current intentions: they may still change and do not constitute an offer for sale. Final prices will be announced before the public beta (June 2027). The commitments made to supporters, however, are firm and described in the terms of sale.

Launch
Planned launch offer: €99 for the first year.
For the 3 months following the release of version 1.0, the first year should be offered at around €99 excl. VAT. Renewal will then be at the normal price.
Price guaranteed for subscribers: as long as you renew without interruption, your price does not increase, even if the public price changes.

Founding supporters
Support now, pay much less later.
- Founder (€149, one-off payment): your first two years of licence included, then −30% for life on renewal, i.e. around €104 excl. VAT per year at the estimated price.
- Founding engineering firm (€990): 10 seats for 2 years, then −30% for life on these 10 seats.
- The −30% also applies to any future edition of ARCYNDRA CAD, for example a 3D edition.
Questions
On licences
Are these prices final?
No. This is an estimate, published so that we are transparent from the design stage. Final prices will be announced before the public beta in June 2027. Supporters' rewards, however, are guaranteed by the terms of sale.
Is it a subscription?
It is an annual licence, with no automatic renewal: you receive a reminder before it expires and you decide. After 12 paid months, your version is yours to keep.
Is VAT included?
Prices are shown excluding VAT. While the VAT exemption scheme applies, no VAT is charged; after that, the VAT due is added according to your country and status. VAT-registered businesses can reclaim it.
Do I need to create an account or be signed in?
No. The licence is a signed file that the software checks offline. ARCYNDRA CAD works without an Internet connection.
What if I supported the project as a Founder?
Your first two years start on the release of version 1.0. After that, you renew with a 30% discount for life, on all editions, as long as you renew without interruption.
Will there be a Mac or Linux version?
Windows first. macOS and Linux are planned with version 1.0, at the same price: one licence covers all platforms.
