Pricing & Bundles (Official Release)
What does a standard uSymphony license cost after the Official Release (Official Release ＝ “GA”) and what does that include?
A one-time per-user license (perpetual use) gives you the software in perpetuity plus the first 12 months of maintenance (updates + support). The prices are unchanged: $75 for uSymphony for VS Community and $135 for uSymphony for VS Pro / Enterprise. Starting in year 2 you may renew maintenance at $45 or $79 per user.

Can large teams cut costs further?
Yes. When you place one order that includes several named-user licenses (and any pre-paid maintenance you want to add), a volume discount is applied to the entire subtotal:

5 – 9 users

The same percentage tiers also apply if you upgrade those licenses to Floating Seat licenses (after the 15 % floating-license surcharge is added).

Tool & Scenario
Year 1
Year 2
Year 3
3-Year total*
uSymphony for VS Community (5 named users, 85 % bulk tier)
$75 × 5 × 0.85 = $318.75
$45 × 5 × 0.85 = $191.25
$45 × 5 × 0.85 = $191.25
$701.25
Rider (Organisation license)
$419 × 5 = $2095
$419 × 5 = $2095
$419 × 5 = $2095
$6285
* uSymphony figures assume the team keeps renewing annual maintenance; skip-renew years would lower the total even further. Rider uses its standard commercial (organisation) seat price, which must be paid every year to stay current.
Bottom line: After uSymphony’s volume discount is applied, the team spends just $701 over three years—about 88 % less than the $6 285 they would pay for Rider.
Launch Special
What is the uSymphony 1.0 Launch Special?
To celebrate the official release of uSymphony 1.0, we’re offering introductory launch pricing for a limited time.
When does the Launch Special end?
The Launch Special ends on October 31, 2026. After that date, licenses and bundles return to their regular prices.
Are Launch Special licenses different from regular licenses?
No. Launch Special purchases include the same perpetual license, 12 months of maintenance, updates, and support as purchases made at the regular price.
Support & Refunds
What exactly is “maintenance”, and do I pay back-fees if I skip a year?
Maintenance covers all minor & major updates and official support. Renewals ($45 / $79) are optional; if you skip, you keep using the last version forever and can resume later for only a single current-year fee — no arrears.
What support channels are available?
• Email/ticket (1 BD response for Community, 8 h SLA for Pro/Ent). • Community forums for peer help. • Docs: install guides, migration how-tos, and Unity-upgrade notes.
What refund window do I have on a new perpetual license?
• For purchases made after the Official Release, individual consumers may cancel for any reason within 14 calendar days of purchase and receive a full refund; the license is then revoked. • For presale purchases (i.e., before the software ships) you may cancel any time up to the day the Official Release build is delivered. After delivery you still enjoy a 30-day “change-of-mind” period—double the standard window—because early adopters have not yet tried the shipping version.
How are yearly maintenance renewals refunded?
• A renewal can be refunded within 30 days provided no support ticket has been answered and no update released during that window has been activated. • Downloading an update or receiving support permanently converts the renewal into a non-refundable service (industry norm for support contracts).
What happens if I buy maintenance early for next year and change my mind?
Pre-paid future renewals are fully refundable right up to the day the next term starts; once the term begins, the 30-day/unused rule above applies.
Is there any refund at all after 14 days (or 30 days for presale)?
No. Beyond that point the license fee is non-refundable, but you retain perpetual use of the last build you downloaded.
