CartoType is purchased for a subscription with a minimum commitment of one year, payable in advance. The subscription gives you the right to use CartoType to develop your application, and ship an unlimited number of units, and to have continuous access to all upgrades as well as ongoing technical support.

When the subscription period expires, you can continue to develop applications using your currently licensed version of CartoType for up to one month. You can purchase a new subscription at any time to receive a further year’s support and access to new versions and new features.

All licenses include hardware graphics acceleration for platforms on which it is available: Windows, .NET, UWP, Android, iOS, Linux, macOS and Qt (desktop).

Prices are in British pounds (GBP). Our costs are in GBP, and it makes most sense to price our wares in that currency. You can pay us by bank transfer (details are on all invoices) by specifying that the payment is to be denominated in GBP; or we will be happy to do the conversion for you at current rates, and quote a price in your currency. Price changes include an adjustment for UK inflation, which takes place every August.
