Procreate 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.

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 Procreate in for digital illustration, concept art, character design, educational art, hobby drawing. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Procreate are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
Before you pay for Procreate
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 $5.99/one-time and $19.99/one-time, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Procreate against the tools that do have one before committing.
Procreate runs on ipad, and is published by Savage Interactive of Hobart, Australia. The full record is on the Procreate review.

- Does Procreate charge per user?

- Are these Procreate 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.

- Nothing else in this directory is filed close enough to Procreate to make a useful price comparison.
