- 4U Plan: $25/month or $270/year

Add-on features are also available and can be added to any subscription:

These subscriptions were designed to provide more affordable and scalable options for users who want to experiment with new workflows or build out portable lighting setups.
As a reference, the perpetual Blackout license starts at $600 USD for the Basic Version.
