COST & LICENCE
Know before you build.
Sell a game made with thisYes — conditions apply
Personal is for one named individual, not shareable. Businesses of ANY size or type cannot buy Personal unless Scirra confirms permission in writing beforehand. Use an eligible business licence; gambling businesses/services need a separate quoted licence. A lapsed subscription permits opening projects, not editing/exporting. Properly licensed already-published games may stay monetized; editing, republishing or a new-platform launch needs a valid licence again. This engine FAQ does not waive separate bundled-asset conditions. Check each third-party/bundled asset and dependency separately.

Limitations & compatibility
- 3D rendering, cameras, shapes and animated GLTF/GLB models are supported, but built-in collisions remain 2D and ignore Z. This is not a general 3D-physics recommendation; test a small scene before choosing it.
- Use Regular Z axis scale; Normalized is deprecated. GLTF/GLB model loading and animations are documented, not imported or executed by Forge.
- Personal is for one named individual, not shareable. Businesses of ANY size or type cannot buy Personal unless Scirra confirms permission in writing beforehand. Use an eligible business licence; gambling businesses/services need a separate quoted licence.
- Startup requires ALL: actual/forecast annual revenue below USD50,000, net assets below USD100,000, and no more than three full-time employees including owners/directors. Do not substitute pricing-page wording for the stricter legal terms.
- Displayed United Kingdom / GBP prices checked 8 October 2026; tax not verified, not a final checkout quote. Actual billing country and seat count matter.
- Business monthly billing was unavailable in the inspected UK UI; Startup price is not verified. No education-seat price is reused here.
- A lapsed subscription permits opening projects, not editing/exporting. Properly licensed already-published games may stay monetized; editing, republishing or a new-platform launch needs a valid licence again. This engine FAQ does not waive separate bundled-asset conditions.
- Bundled Assets require an active valid Construct 3/Animate licence and larger creative work; no asset/template resale. Bundled Free Assets have separate clauses: do not assume identical active-subscription wording. Free Sample Downloads are noncommercial only.
- Exporters and third-party store/hosting/developer costs are separate. No console compatibility, native export, hosted account, complete game, performance or physical-device test is claimed.
- Creator previews stay on the official tutorial; no creator image or vendor runtime is rehosted. Third-party addon/asset, AI-sharing/training and promotional-media permissions are not inferred.
