Now it is a little clearer what has happened as the web site has been updated.

The monthly fee has increased by 70%.

If you pay for 1 year up front, the price is the same as it was before.

Or you can lock in that 1 year price for a period of 3 years - which to me just guarantees the yearly fee is going to increase each year.

So if you can commit to a 3 year contract, that would be the way to go.

Curious, as one of the few advantages of the subscription is that you can rent the software for small periods of higher workload. If they continue to move up the monthly price, they are, as it appears ever happens, giving us the worst of both worlds 😐

By my calculations I will be paying 216% more pa for ArchiCAD Studio (formerly Solo) by year 3 (and presumably yearly thereafter) than I do at present!

I will be looking at alternatives as this is an absolutely shocking way to treat a customer base who have invested heavily in time and money over the years.

its ok! since this price increase gives you access to the mep module that calculates pipelines and the structural module in which You can generate rebar and what-not automatically and new AI integrated functionalities.
