We offer various subscription plans to meet everyone's needs, including Free, Indie, Pro, Teams (for more than 2 seats), and Educational (exclusive for teachers, professors, and institutions).

 

• Free: $0
• Indie: Yearly - $96, Monthly - $12
• Pro: Yearly - $396, Monthly - $49
• Teams: Yearly - $396, Monthly - $49
• Educational: $0 (exclusive for teachers, professors, and institutions)

Every Yearly Pro and Yearly Indie license is automatically converted into a perpetual license after the minimum term of one year.
This means that even if you cancel your subscription after the first year, you can continue to use the last version released during your subscription period - to the full extent and without time restrictions. Still, it's worth keeping your subscription. An active subscription to Pro and Indie plans is a prerequisite for receiving further version updates and personal customer support from our staff.
 

Free - for those who get to know Cascadeur. No time limits apply!
Indie - for indie developers and enthusiasts. Get it if you just need the ability to export your animations to other software.
Pro - for those who want to use all of the features Cascadeur has to offer. 
Teams - for studios and companies that need many licenses. Includes access to seat management through the admin Cascadeur account.
Educational - for schools, colleges and universities.

Pro and Teams plans offer the same full functionality in the Cascadeur software. The difference lies in external features, such as:

- Yearly Pro plan includes a Perpetual license. Yearly Teams doesn’t include one.
- The Teams plan includes seat management tools. The Pro plan doesn’t include such tools.

We offer two subscription types with different terms and benefits:

The subscription with monthly payment (Monthly) can be canceled on a monthly basis and is therefore very flexible. However, with the monthly subscription you do not benefit from the conversion into a perpetual license, as with the annual subscription. You pay the license fee monthly in advance.

The annual subscription (Yearly) offers a better price line ratio and the exclusive advantage that your subscription converts into a Perpetual License of Cascadeur after the minimum term of 12 months. With the annual subscription, you pay the license fee 12 months in advance.
 

Animation export options vary by subscription:
- Free: Only proprietary CASC format.
- Indie, Pro, Teams, and Educational: All available formats.

- Free and Educational plans don’t allow any commercial use.
- Indie plan has a restricted commercial use, where a licensee’s (you or the company you’re a part of) aggregate gross revenue or funding (from any source of financing) must be less than $100,000 per year.
- Pro and Teams plans allow for full commercial use.

Paddle is a Merchant of Record service that allows users worldwide to purchase digital products from businesses.
Paddle can offer you:
- Customer portal for tracking transactions and managing subscriptions

Cascadeur users who have previously purchased their licenses through Xsolla will continue to use Xsolla’s Pay Station to renew their active license. Those who purchase a new license will be redirected to Paddle’s payment page.
At the moment, there is no straightforward way to get transferred from Xsolla to Paddle, but we’re actively looking for solutions.

As long as you continue renewing your existing subscription, you will be able to renew with Xsolla. Any new license purchases will be done through Paddle.
