Cadimage, the developers of several ArchiCAD add-ons, have today announced their move to a subscription-based model, allowing their tools to be licensed on a low monthly fee.
Customers will now have access to seven ArchiCAD add-ons including Doors+Windows,Stairs and Cabinets for just US$49 per month with no contract. To put this in perspective, the purchase of all Cadimage Tools would have previously cost in excess of US$3,300 over 3 years if upgraded yearly. Now access to the same tools over the same timeframe will cost little over half that.
The subscription model also provides customers with the flexibility to only pay for what they need, as license quantities and plan types can be changed (or cancelled) at any time according to internal demands.
Over the last 18 months Cadimage have undertaken a number of changes behind the scenes to provide the platform for this new Subscription model. In addition to being able to provide their tools for a much more affordable price, the new model will allow the Cadimage team to roll out software updates and new features as soon as they are available, rather than having to wait until their next full upgrade.
“By focusing our efforts on a subscription model, we are able to provide customers with software that is constantly evolving and pushing creative boundaries”, says Campbell Yule, Managing Director of Cadimage Group. “We’ll be able to respond to user requests and implement new features in a much shorter development cycle. Plus, our new pricing structure will make the Tools more accessible for many customers and provide the flexibility required in architectural offices.”
“It's been 10 years since Cadimage launched their Tools internationally and we feel that we are about to begin a new phase of our evolution with the launch of our Subscription offering,” concludes Campbell.
