Paid plans start at $9.08/mo. There's also a free plan.
Paid individual commercial CLion starts at $9.08 per user/month when billed annually; month-to-month is $10.90. The free CLion Non-Commercial plan is limited to learning, hobbies, and non-commercial development, and requires anonymous data collection. Organizations pay $21.58 per user/month billed annually; no monthly organizational rate is published. Individual annual pricing changes after year one, so compare renewal costs—not just the first-year price—before choosing.

03Which plan should you buy?
| If you are… | Get | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Learning or hobby developers | CLion Non-Commercial | It costs $0, but is limited to non-commercial development and requires anonymous data collection. |
| One commercial developer | CLion Commercial (For Individual Use) | It is $10.90 monthly or $9.08 per user/month billed annually, for individual purchasers only. |
| Teams licensing users | CLion Commercial (For Organizations) | It costs $21.58 per user/month billed annually, with transferable seats and a concurrent-user cap. |
04Is CLion worth the money?
CLion can be worth paying for when its C/C++ code navigation, contextual suggestions, and built-in run, debug, and test tools fit your workflow better than a free-editor setup. The individual commercial annual price is $109 in year one, then falls to $87 and $65 in later years. That is a clearer deal for one developer than for a team: organization pricing is higher, and concurrent use cannot exceed purchased subscriptions.
CLion pricing FAQ
Does CLion have its own compiler?
The published product information does not say whether CLion includes or provides its own compiler, so we can’t confirm that. It identifies CLion as an IDE for C and C++ developers and says JetBrains IDEs include tools to run, debug, and test applications.
Is PyCharm free for commercial use?
The published pricing information covers CLion, not PyCharm, so PyCharm’s commercial-use pricing is not published here. For CLion, the free Non-Commercial plan excludes commercial development. Individual commercial CLion is $10.90 per user/month or $109 for the first year when billed annually.
Which is better, CLion or Visual Studio?
The published information describes CLion but gives no Visual Studio features, prices, or comparison, so it isn’t enough to rank them. CLion is identified as an IDE for C and C++ with navigation, contextual suggestions, and built-in run, debug, and test tools.
How much does VSCode cost?
VSCode pricing is not included on the vendor's site, so we can’t give a sourced price here. For comparison, CLion’s individual commercial plan is $10.90 per user/month or $9.08 per user/month billed annually; its free plan is non-commercial only.
