A plain-language summary of how MasterAssets licenses work.
One person using MasterAssets alone - including freelance or commercial work - pays nothing.
Commercial teams and studios pay an annual, per-seat subscription. New versions are included while you're subscribed.
If you stop paying, MasterAssets freezes at the version you last had - it keeps working, it just stops updating.
Pricing is tiered by how many people are using it, not by revenue.
A MasterAssets license grants a named seat - one person - a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to install and use the product. The Individual tier is a single free seat for one person's own use. The Commercial and Site tiers are paid, per-seat annual subscriptions for teams and studios. See section 3 for what happens to your access while you're subscribed, and if you stop.
MasterAssets is priced by how many people at an organization are using it, not by company revenue. All tiers unlock the exact same product - there is no feature difference between them.
| Tier | Price | Who it's for |
|---|---|---|
| Individual | Free | A single person using MasterAssets on their own - personal projects, freelance, or otherwise - with no other seats at the same organization. |
| Commercial | £180 / seat / year | Studios and companies with more than one person using MasterAssets. One subscription seat per person. |
| Site Licence | From £2,400 / year | Larger studios wanting studio-wide access instead of managing individual seats. Priced by studio size - contact us for a quote. |
Tier is self-certified at checkout - we don't audit team size before a sale. If a second person at the same organization starts using a seat registered under the free Individual tier, that organization needs to move to the Commercial tier (or a Site Licence) and pay for the seats in use.
Commercial and Site Licence seats are billed annually. While a seat's subscription is active, that seat gets the current version of MasterAssets and every update released during the subscription, at no extra cost.
Earning a permanent version. For every 12 consecutive months a seat's subscription stays active, that seat permanently earns the version of MasterAssets that was current when that 12-month period began, plus all of that major version's minor and patch releases. This is yours to keep even if you cancel afterward.
If you stop paying. MasterAssets does not stop working the moment a subscription lapses. Instead, it freezes at whichever version that seat last had access to. You can keep using that frozen version indefinitely - you just won't receive any further updates or new major versions until the seat is resubscribed. Once a seat has reached a 12-month milestone, the version it earned at that point is permanently yours regardless of what happens to the subscription afterward.
The free Individual tier has no subscription clock - it's simply free, for as long as EspositoLabs offers it, with no earn-out or freeze mechanics to track.
Unlike a one-time purchase, a new major version (for example, MasterAssets 2.0.0) is included automatically for any Commercial or Site seat with an active subscription - there's no separate purchase needed to move up. If a seat's subscription has lapsed and is frozen on an older version, resubscribing restores access to the current version and everything released since.
Licenses are issued per individual, not per machine and not per company. The same license key may be used across a licensed user's own devices (e.g. a home and work machine), but it is not intended for simultaneous use by, or sharing between, multiple people. If several people at an organization need to use MasterAssets, each of them needs their own seat.
