AppStudio 9 Licensing

We’re pleased to announce that AppStudio 9 has been released. It features improved VoltBuilder integration, Bootstrap 5, an AI Coding Assistant and more.

We’re taking this opportunity to revise and simplify our pricing. Here’s what’s changed:

  1. VoltBuilder Indy is now included with an AppStudio Essential subscription. You won’t need to pay for VoltBuilder separately.
  2. All pricing is now subscription based.
  3. If you currently have a subscription, you will be licensed for Version 9 automatically.
  4. If you have a one time license for an older version, your license will continue to be valid for that version.
  5. To get Version 9, you’ll need a subscription.
  6. The current $9.95 Upgrade rate for AppStudio Essential will increase to $15.00 (but remember, VoltBuilder Indy is now included)
  7. One time licenses (including for Classrooms) will be no longer be available.

This completes the transition to subscription billing which we started several years ago. For our users, it simplifies the options for getting AppStudio. For us, it provides a steady stream of revenue to fund new development, support, and all the subscription services we ourselves have to pay for.

Please email us at support@appstudio.dev if you have any questions.

Hello
I have a permanent license for the 8.5x version.
Unfortunately it is not possible to test the 9.xx version because the demo mode has expired.
Is there a way to keep the 8.5xx and still test the 9.xx?
