ACCESS & LICENSING
Every plan runs the same solvers at the same accuracy, on every core your computer has. Plans differ in the workflows you can run, commercial-use rights and simultaneous jobs.
LAUNCH PRICING
$0
No card, no expiry.
Learn the machine. Try the workflow.
For learning, evaluation and personal projects. Design a machine and check it at full accuracy, one operating point at a time.
Non-commercial use. One job at a time.
View release status$99/ year
Or $12 a month.
For the motor on your workbench.
The whole studio for personal, educational and non-commercial work. Selling a few parts from a hobby project is fine.
Personal project revenue below US$5,000 a year. Work for a business needs Commercial.
On sale with the Windows release$795/ year
Founding price. $995 a year after launch.
For engineering you're paid to do.
Everything in Maker, licensed for commercial work: consultants, startups and engineers designing machines for a business.
The founding price holds for as long as the subscription renews without a gap.
On sale with the Windows releaseMaker may be provided free for coursework after an eligibility check. Email [email protected] about your course.
More seats or more simultaneous jobs will come later as separate plans. If you need one now, get in touch and say what you need.
AT A GLANCE
The same single-position solve uses the same numerical method on every plan.
¹ A business may evaluate Free for 30 days. Plan rights and the Maker revenue allowance are defined in the licence terms. Paid plans include best-effort email support; 14-day refunds apply to purchases and renewals.
WHAT NO PLAN LIMITS
No plan has a lower-accuracy solver, and none charges for CPU cores. Mesh, convergence and validity checks are in every plan.
Designs and results stay on your computer. If a subscription ends, you can still open, save and export everything you made.
A 2-D section does not resolve every 3-D leakage or end effect. A plan’s price is never a substitute for choosing the right analysis.
Read the solver guideSales open with the first public Windows release. Prices are set; the Windows package and activation flow are still being qualified. See the release status for the current checkpoint.
Paid plans include updates, bug fixes and email support. Axial Flux Studio is built by one developer, so email is answered on a best-effort basis. There are no priority queues or service-level agreements. The software is sold as it is, and its documentation states what each model can and cannot do.
No. Simulation runs locally. Paid access needs an online check now and then; a verified licence keeps working offline for about two weeks between checks. Projects are never uploaded for licensing. Activation and offline terms →
From your account page, any time. Access continues until the end of the period you paid for. Your projects and results stay yours. Renewal and cancellation terms →
Free runs every solver at full accuracy, but one operating point at a time: a 3-D solve at one rotor position, a 2-D or quasi-3-D study, a thermal estimate from that point. What needs many solves (rotor periods, maps over the torque-speed plane, drive cycles, FEM sweeps and optimisation) and the coupled, fault and CAD workflows are in Maker. Analytic sweeps stay free.
Yes. Buy Commercial from your account's billing page; it arrives as its own licence. Then cancel Maker there, and support refunds the unused Maker time. Your projects carry over unchanged. Maker upgrade refund policy →
If you are paid for the engineering, or the machine is designed for a business, use Commercial. A personal project that sells a few parts on the side is still Maker while revenue from everything designed with the software stays below US$5,000 a year. See the licence terms for the full definition.
