License Price Update

August 6, 2025/in General/by Yutaka Emura

We’ve worked hard to keep our annual subscription price low over the years. However, due to rising costs, we’ll be updating our pricing to ensure we can continue developing EmEditor and providing you with the best possible service. Starting August 28, 2025, the price of an annual subscription license will increase from US$48.00 to US$60.00. Volume license prices will be updated as well. The renewal price for annual subscriptions will be 75% of the new first-year price.

We’re also introducing a monthly subscription option for US$6 per month, available from August 28, 2025.

Prices in your country/region may be in your local currency.

For information on how to calculate the number of licenses you need, please see our guidelines.

We remain committed to continually improving EmEditor and supporting our customers.

Thank you for choosing EmEditor!

License Price Update

August 1, 2024/in General/by Yutaka Emura

We haven’t changed the price of an annual subscription since August 2022. However, due to rising costs, we need to adjust the price to sustain development and continue providing quality services to our customers. Therefore, starting August 28, 2024, we will increase the price of an annual subscription license from $40.00 to $48.00. Volume license prices will also be adjusted accordingly.

As previously announced, we will stop selling lifetime licenses on August 28, 2024. Additionally, the renewal price after the first year will increase from the current 50% of the first-year price to 75%, effective on August 28, 2024. If you plan to use EmEditor Professional long-term, you can save by purchasing lifetime licenses now. Alternatively, if you have subscription licenses, you can renew your subscription at the current price before August 28, 2024, without changing the expiration date.

Please also see how to calculate the number of licenses.

We will continue to develop EmEditor and provide support to our customers.

Thank you for using EmEditor!

License price update and ending sales of lifetime licenses

July 25, 2023/in General/by Yutaka Emura

Lifetime License

Unlike “perpetual” licenses sold by other companies, our lifetime licenses include the right to receive future updates indefinitely. It is difficult to predict the future, but we would like to develop and support EmEditor for a long time. Our family and employees depend on the sales of EmEditor, which need to last for future generations. Therefore, we will end sales of lifetime licenses on August 28th, 2024. We will not sell lifetime licenses after August 28th, 2024. If you plan to use EmEditor Professional for a long time, you could save on future costs by purchasing lifetime licenses now. We will also raise the price of a lifetime license on August 30th, 2023 from the current $260 to $380 for a single license. The volume lifetime license prices will also be adjusted accordingly.

Annual Subscription

We will raise the price after the first year from the current 50% of the first year price to 75% on August 28th, 2024. If you have subscription licenses, you can renew your subscription at the current price before August 28th, 2024 without changing the expiration date. If you have subscribed to licenses through our website, you may purchase a single-year renewal if your previous purchase was made more than 30 days ago. If you would like to purchase multi-year renewals, please contact us and we will send you a link to do so. If you purchased a subscription through a reseller, please contact your reseller to purchase multi-year renewals.

Please also see How to calculate the number of licenses.

We will continue development of EmEditor and providing support to our customers.
