Starting January 6, 2026, Reallusion will introduce new subscription-based licensing options, giving you greater flexibility to choose the plan that best fits your needs. Alongside the existing perpetual licenses, these subscription plans significantly expand creative possibilities across Reallusion ecosystems for Character Creator, iClone, and Cartoon Animator. All subscription plans provide the same rights and privileges as perpetual licenses under the Reallusion Software EULA, ensuring a fair and consistent experience for all customers.
Subscription Model Benefits
Available with monthly or annual renewal options, subscription licensing offers a flexible and budget-friendly solution for short-term projects and creators new to the Reallusion family of products.
- Same EULA Rights
Enjoy the same commercial-use rights and features as perpetual license holders, fully covered under the Reallusion EULA. - Stay on the Cutting Edge
Always access the latest software versions—including major upgrades (e.g., iClone 8 to iClone 9)—at no additional cost during your active subscription. - Full Ecosystem Access
Get unrestricted access to plugins and content purchases that integrate seamlessly with your existing pipelines and third-party tools, including Blender, Unreal Engine, Unity, Maya, ZBrush, and more. - Upgrade Perks
Receive an exclusive member discount when upgrading your subscription or switching to a perpetual license. Transitions are seamless, with no service interruption, and discounts are automatically applied at checkout.
Reallusion offers seven subscription plans, available with both monthly and annual billing options. Get started with Character Creator for as little as $8.30 per month, or iClone for just $16.90 per month. For detailed plan information and comparisons, please visit our official website.
Perpetual Model Benefits
Reallusion continues to support perpetual licensing for creators and studios that value the reliability and long-term stability of permanent software ownership.
- Pay Once, Own Forever
Make a one-time purchase with no recurring fees to secure a lasting production tool for your pipeline. - Stable Production Environment
Ideal for long-term projects that benefit from consistent version control and a predictable, uninterrupted production environment. - Collaborative Synergies
Perpetual licenses remain essential for teams requiring advanced software management and allocation, including floating license control, shared content and project purchases, and seamless collaboration with external clients and partners.
License Recommendation
Perpetual Licenses are ideal for users who prefer permanent ownership, and for companies, studios, or educational institutions that need multi-seat licenses, team-based content sharing, floating license, and seamless external collaboration via Workgroups. We recommend purchasing our two most popular bundles to get started and save over 35%, or you may visit our Software Store to mix and match your own custom bundle.
Subscription Licenses are best for personal use, short-term projects, or budget-conscious creators. The Reallusion 3D Suite 365 plan is the premier option for a complete CC & IC toolkit. Choosing the Annual Plan provides the most cost-effective value to get started.
