3D-Coat plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amateur | $99/month | 1 | Entry tier |
| Professional | $379/month | 1 | +$280/month, 1 more feature |
| Floating | $568/month | 1 | +$189/month, 1 more feature |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

People bring 3D-Coat in for voxel sculpting from a digital clay block, retopology of high-density sculpts into production meshes, uv mapping and pbr texturing, preparing print-ready models for 3d printing, node-based material authoring on the gpu. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to 3D-Coat are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Before you pay for 3D-Coat
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between $99/month and $568/month, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare 3D-Coat against the tools that do have one before committing.
3D-Coat runs on windows, macos, linux, and is published by Pilgway of Kyiv, Ukraine. The full record is on the 3D-Coat review, and the rest of the category is under best cad tools.

- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is network licensing. It costs $568/month against $99/month for Amateur. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.
