Pricing
Every app is free. A license adds the cloud.
Community and the commercial license run the same apps, feature for feature, and either one is fine for paid work. A commercial license adds the cloud: saving drawings in the browser, encrypted on Backblaze B2, sync between browser and desktop, and version history. Exporting a copy to your own computer is always free.

Questions about cost
- Is it free?
- Yes. Every app and every feature is free in Community, on the desktop and in the browser, for any work, paid work included. A commercial license adds the cloud: cloud saving in the browser, sync between browser and desktop, and version history. Exporting a copy to your own computer is always free, with or without a license.
- Do my files leave my machine?
- Not from the desktop apps: they work offline on local files and send nothing. In the browser apps, drawings you choose to save will be stored with the cloud saving a commercial license includes, encrypted on Backblaze B2 and private to your account. You can always export a copy to your own computer instead.
- Can I save drawings in the browser version?
- Yes, with a commercial license, which includes cloud saving. Without one, the browser apps still let you open, draw and export a copy to your own computer as DWG, DXF or PDF, for free. The desktop apps save to local files and never need it.
- Where are cloud drawings stored?
- Cloud saving comes with a commercial license, and the drawings will be stored on Backblaze B2, encrypted at rest and in transit, and private to your account. You will be able to export or delete them at any time. Exporting a copy is free for everyone, and the desktop apps never need cloud storage.
- Can I use it for commercial work?
- Yes, in Community, for free: the open-source license allows commercial use, and every app and feature is included. A commercial license runs the same apps and adds the cloud: cloud saving in the browser, sync between browser and desktop, and version history. It is $25 a month for one app, $20 a month each for two or more, and two months free when you pay yearly. If CadCraft earns you money, it is also how you help pay for it.
