Today we introduce the following changes to Shapespark products:
In addition to monthly subscriptions all Shapespark plans now offer yearly subscription options.
(Applies to new subscriptions only) Monthly subscription prices increase to $35 for the Starter plan, $58 for the Standard plan and $117 for the Plus plan (or equivalents in supported local currencies). This is the first price change since Shapespark was launched 5+ years ago, so we hope for your understanding.
Active subscriptions will continue to use the old prices.
Yearly subscriptions give 15% discount, so per month prices are $29 for the Starter plan, $49 for Standard and $99 for the Plus plan.
With yearly subscriptions the auto-renew option can be disabled. This allows for wire transfer payments in addition to credit card, PayPal, Google Pay and Apple Pay options.
New customers will no longer be able to purchase perpetual licenses, we continue to support existing perpetual licenses and continue to offer software updates and hosting renewal for them.
I am currently purchasing shapespark on a monthly basis under the old PLUS plan.
Is it possible to keep my account and change to a yearly payment?
If so, will I keep the “Host on own server” feature?
Yes. Please cancel your current subscription. This will not cancel your plan immediately, but turn off automatic renewal. Then, subscribe to the Plus plan billed yearly, and you will keep “Host on own server” feature. You can wait with the resubscription until the last day of the monthly period you’ve already paid for (you will see the subscription expiration date after the cancellation).
I have a perpetual license whose update support has expired. If I renew my perpetual license, I will receive updates for 1 year, and after 1 year my license will continue with the current shapepark version, right?
@evimitasarla, right, after the year period ends, you will be entitled to use the latest Shapespark version that was published within that year period.
