Subscription licenses are billed annually with a flat fee that includes product updates, technical support, and exclusive benefits applicable to subscription license holders only. Subscription licenses allow you to save at least 25 % of your initial investment. Most of the subscription packages come with MCP tools for 50%+ productivity boost, UI customization tools (ThemeBuilder, Page Templates and Building Blocks), enterprise-ready single sign-on.

Perpetual licenses are a one-time purchase, granting access to the current released versions. They include one year of product updates and technical support that should be renewed upon expiration. Perpetual license DO NOT include MCP and UI customizations tools and SSO.

While subscription may appear to cost more over a long period, it includes ongoing innovations applicable to subscription license holders only, like MCP servers, UI customization tools, SSO, and more included in the short-term product development roadmap. Most customers find that the value of continuous innovation, lower upfront costs, and easier scalability outweighs the long‑term difference.

Price stability matters, and we offer multi‑year agreements that lock your pricing for the full term. You get cost predictability plus continuous access to new tools, features, enterprise-ready capabilities, etc. With perpetual licenses, upgrade pricing can change at any time, too, so subscription can actually decrease long‑term uncertainty.

Many organizations move to subscription specifically because it shifts spendings from CAPEX to OPEX, giving more flexibility. But if CAPEX is required, we still offer perpetual licensing. We can also structure multi-year subscription agreements to fit your budget cycles.

Yes, perpetual licenses give you that, but after license expiration you have access to the currently released product version only. You lose access to future product and security updates, support and bug fixes.

Though subscription requires annual updates, you always stay current. Many customers appreciate that subscriptions provide flexibility, predictable operating expenses, and continuous support versus a large one-time capital investment.
