Free vs Paid Plans

Our free tier is robust, but as your shop grows, you may want more features. Check out our pricing page to see what you unlock with Pro or Business, including:

  • Unlimited profiles, cuts, and stock items.
  • PDF and CSV export functionality.
  • Team collaboration and viewer roles.
  • Usage analytics and priority support.

No Tricks, No Time Limits

Unlike other cut list software, our free tier is a permanent plan, not a 14-day trial. As long as you continue using the Free Lite optimiser without a time limit; paid plans add capacity and workshop workflow features when you need them. Use our cutting optimiser with total peace of mind.
