Plans
ApexDiagram is in beta and the regular plans have not started. For a limited time one Team licence is $100, paid once, for life; the regular plans and their prices take effect when the beta ends. Every plan draws, imports and lints the same way. Free is one person and a few diagrams; Team adds collaboration, governance and scale; MSP adds one organisation per client. Students get most of Team free with a verified school, college or university email. Start a 14-day Team trial from Settings → Organisations, no card needed; upgrades and downgrades are immediate and prorated, and downgrading never deletes anything.
