OperatourPricing

Free for your shows. Studio when your shows pay you.

Free is the whole of Operatour in a grid of three rows and three columns. Studio is one payment, once, with no limits and the right to be paid. There is no subscription.

Why pay £99 for a v1

Free is the whole instrument in a smaller grid, so the honest question is what the £99 buys. Three things.

Room to grow. Nine cells is enough to learn on and to play a short set. A show that wants more rows of visuals, more columns to move between, or a second deck, is a Studio show. A show you made on Free still opens and plays whole: the grid only stops growing.

The right to be paid. Free is for your own shows. The night somebody pays you to run the room, the licence is Studio, and £99 is less than one such night.

Everything that is still coming, at today's price. Cues, several outputs, NDI and Syphon, the full remote: each arrives in a later version and each is yours, because Studio includes every update forever. The list price becomes £199 when the rig lands. Buying at £99 is buying the finished product before it is finished, and that is the whole discount.

What you are not paying for: quality, the library, the stems, the audio contract, MIDI or effects. Those are free, and they stay free.

Nothing rented, nothing checked

Studio never phones home and never expires. A show does not depend on a login, a server or the venue's wifi. You pay once, and the instrument is yours the way a keyboard is.

The whole public beta is free today. The roadmap says when things arrive.
