Are you sure this is not a April Fools Day joke?

If this is a genuine e-mail (bad timing and also too late as it is already April 1), then I suggest you call your local distributor to discuss in person.

They are the only ones that will be able to help you.

I am not sure if that is even a valid e-mail address for purchases.

I just looked at the Graphisoft website and clicked the 'buy now' button.

Seems there is a price increase from today.

For me here in Australia, the collaboration subscription and studio subscription have increased by just over 70% (BIMcloud on its own by over 100%).

How can Graphisoft justify a 70% increase?

How could they, right!?
For freelancer/small studio like me. 
this is a HUGE change Y Y
How you do in Australia?

I can't speak for the small user here.

I don't run a company, so have no idea if the cost would be hard or easy to absorb.

I just can't believe it has increased by over 70% over night.

Fortunately the company I work for has just locked in the 3 year deal for subscription.

What is going to happen at the end of those 3 years, I guess we will have to just wait and see.

Must be a dry April 1st joke.

Way to go, Graphisoft!! 😠😠😠

From what I deduce, they "aligned" their pricing with Revit pricings.

There was a heads-up message that the prices would go up on the buy-now page:

Our distributor warned us, but the price increases in our case were nowhere near a 70%. I suppose we were already aligned, or they are reserving the fun for next year 😅
