Cascadeur Pricing Plans

Q: What subscription plans are available?

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).

Q: How much does each plan cost?

Free: $0 Indie: Yearly - $96, Monthly - $19 Pro: Yearly - $396, Monthly - $49 Teams: Yearly - $396, Monthly - $49 Educational: $0 (exclusive for teachers, professors, and institutions)

Q: I only see subscription options. Does Cascadeur offer a perpetual license, too?

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.

Q: What plan is more suitable for me?

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.

Q: What are the differences between Pro and Teams plans?

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.

Q: What are the differences between an annual subscription and a monthly subscription?

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.

Q: Can I export animations in all formats with any subscription?

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

Q: Are there any restrictions on commercial use?

- 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.

Q: Are there any onboarding services offered?

Yes, a 30-minute onboarding call is provided for teams with more than 4 seats. Please write to sales@cascadeur.com to request a call.

Q: Is dedicated support available for all subscription plans?

Dedicated chat in Discord and priority queue customer service are available for Teams subscriptions and higher. Pro subscribers also have access to the dedicated chat in our Discord channel with priority support.
