02What the plan grid doesn't tell you
Annual, not monthly billing
The listed monthly figures are annual subscription totals converted to monthly equivalents. Actual monthly prices are not published.
Perpetual maintenance
Perpetual licenses include the first year of maintenance. The price of maintenance after that year is not published.
Network license quotes
Commercial group and concurrent network pricing requires a custom quote, so the cost is not published.
Computer and seat limits
Individual plans cover one seat tied to one computer. The commercial perpetual plan includes one home-use license only while maintenance is active.
03Which plan should you buy?
| If you are… | Get | Why |

04Is OriginPro worth the money?
OriginPro may justify its price for scientific or engineering work that needs graphing, statistics, curve fitting, peak analysis and batch operations in one tool. The pricing grid’s limits matter: individual licenses are tied to one computer, commercial network pricing requires a quote, and monthly billing prices are not published. Eligible academics have the lowest listed entry price, but there is no free plan. We’d weigh the needed seat setup and the value of perpetual licensing before committing.
