Capture One 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pro | On request | 4 | Entry tier |
| All in One | On request | 5 | Priced on request |
| Studio | On request | 4 | Priced on request |
| Pro Perpetual | On request | 2 | Priced on request |
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 Capture One in for professional studio photography editing, tethered shooting during commercial photoshoots, advanced color grading for editorial photography, raw file management for high-volume photographers. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Capture One are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
Before you pay for Capture One
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: 4 tiers between On request and On request, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Capture One against the tools that do have one before committing.
Capture One runs on windows, mac, ios, and is published by Capture One. The full record is on the Capture One review.
