What is on record
The GIMP catalogue entry carries no price and a open-source pricing model, but no tier breakdown. The category comparison below is still useful, and the GIMP review carries the full feature record.

People bring GIMP in for photo editing and retouching with professional colour management, digital art creation with power and flexibility for image transformation, icon and ui element design for application development, batch image processing through python, c, c++, and scheme scripting. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to GIMP are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
Before you pay for GIMP
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: not published on the record we hold. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
GIMP runs on gnu/linux, macos, windows, and is published by GIMP Project of Open source community. The full record is on the GIMP review.
GIMP pricing questions
- How much does GIMP cost?
- No price is published on the record we hold for GIMP, which is listed as open-source. The vendor's own site is the only reliable source for the current figure.
- Does GIMP have a free plan?
- Yes, GIMP is recorded as open-source, so it can be used without paying.
- What am I actually paying for with GIMP?
- The record lists 17 features across 5 areas: core, integrations, deployment, platform, localization. In practice it is brought in for photo editing and retouching with professional colour management, digital art creation with power and flexibility for image transformation, icon and ui element design for application development.
- Does GIMP charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these GIMP prices current?
- They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
- What should I compare GIMP against before paying?
- Nothing else in this directory is filed close enough to GIMP to make a useful price comparison.
