There are three options for purchasing Mari.

Individual subscription

You can pay for Mari on a subscription basis. Mari Individual Subscription is an annual entitlement to Mari for a single, named user: the license can be used by that user only. As Mari Individual Subscription access is tied to an individual person, it’s most suited to those working freelance or in small companies where only one person will be using the software. You can buy Mari Individual Subscription through our online store - see the product page for current pricing.

Perpetual license

Mari is also available to purchase as a perpetual license. The cost is the same for node-locked or floating licenses. If you purchase a new seat, the price includes one year of maintenance. You can purchase online, by contacting sales, or through a reseller. See the product page for current pricing. You can also purchase Mari as part of a Collective.

Rent by the quarter

You can rent Mari by the quarter. If you take this payment option, you get all the benefits of a perpetual license during the period of time you’re renting (whether one quarter or several). You can choose between a node-locked or floating license. This option allows you to scale up as needed - it's the best choice for companies that are looking to scale up for a limited time.

An individual subscription of Mari is an annual entitlement to Mari for an individual user. Mari Individual Subscription requires the Mari license to be assigned to a single ‘named’ user. The license can then only be used by that named user. As Mari Individual Subscription access is tied to an individual person, it is most suited to those working freelance or in small companies where only one person will be using the software.

• You’ll receive every update and new release while your contract remains valid, as soon as it’s available.
• Login-based licensing lets you work on any machine, without the need to go through a manual license transfer process.
• Subscription customers receive exclusive full access to our support teams by email, year round.
• Access to beta programs and exclusive technology previews let you stay ahead of the pack.

No, at this time it is not possible to buy Mari on subscription for teams or shared usage. If you are looking to buy Mari for your team, you can buy perpetual floating licenses with maintenance.

We’re committed to making Mari more accessible and providing a variety of purchase options. With low monthly or yearly payments, Mari Individual Subscription helps you get in the game for less, and more easily budget your costs on an ongoing basis.

Subscription lets you stay current all of the time—not just to take advantage of the latest features and enhancements, but also to keep your skills up-to-date and relevant in the job market. It’s a model that has proved popular across the software industry, and we’re responding to an increasing number of requests to offer this flexibility for Mari for those people who are freelancers, or part of a startup or small businesses where only one person needs to use Mari.

At this time, Modo and Mari are the only products we are offering subscription options on. We continue to investigate the possibility of offering other products on subscription.

The primary difference between the two products is that Modo Subscription is not restricted to a single license per user and is therefore suitable for both individuals and teams, while Mari Individual Subscription is specifically suited to those working as freelancers or in small businesses where only one person needs access to Mari.

At this time, a login-based license for Mari is only available through Mari Individual Subscription.

Subscription and maintenance agreements are non-transferable.

Current Foundry policy permits sale and transfer of perpetual Mari licenses as long as the Seller (current owner) is a natural person and is selling or transferring the license to another natural person (the Buyer). Reselling a license from an individual to a business or business to business is strictly prohibited. An administrative fee is required to be paid in full by the Buyer to Foundry prior to the transfer being completed. Failure to complete payment will result in no license transferred. Upon completion of the transfer, the Seller is required to remove all copies of the software installed and delete any copies they may have in possession. The Buyer will be required to purchase additional maintenance for a minimum of 1 year.

If you are looking to place an order and need some assistance, or have any questions or issues regarding a Mari Individual Subscription or maintenance order, contact purchase-help@foundry.com. For technical support relating to the activation or installation of your license, visit the Support Portal.
