Hi @m4rk , it’s a very honest answer that we haven’t found a way yet, we continuously work on pricing and packaging, and we’d like to be as inclusive as possible. But obviously we can’t afford to cannibalize our customer base. While we’d love to go as broad as possible, there are financial constraints that we need to consider. We love hobbyists, and many of our enterprise customers started using Shapr3D as a hobby, but we also need to build a business. While I understand that for you our price does not work, Shapr3D is still the most affordable Parasolid based CAD, and the only one that you can use across iPad, MacOS, Windows PCs and tablets with a single subscription.
