BranchPy License Summary

Version 2.0 – Updated July 16, 2026

This page is a plain-language summary of how BranchPy Studio licensing works. It is not a substitute for the binding legal terms — in case of conflict, the Terms of Service and EULA govern. For current plan details, prices, and the full feature availability matrix, see the pricing page.

Public plans

BranchPy Studio is offered under three public plans:

1. Ren’Py Creator — Free

For personal and non-commercial Ren’Py workflows.

  • Free to use for personal, educational, portfolio, and other non-commercial Ren’Py projects.
  • Includes Studio access with the full result view, Analyze + Stats, Flowchart basic/full, basic media validation, full image validation, full localization analysis, Doctor diagnostics, and local .bpy save with snapshot load.
  • Does not include exports, CLI analysis commands, Compare snapshots, Flowchart+, OMEGA, or commercial use.
  • Anonymous use is limited to the walkthrough/demo; a free BranchPy account is required for full/custom analysis.

What counts as “commercial use”?

  • Selling your game on Steam, itch.io, or other storefronts
  • Using BranchPy in client work or contract development
  • Studio pipelines or projects intended for sale
  • Any use where you or your organization receives financial compensation for the project

2. Ren’Py Pro — 24 USD/month or 169 USD/year

For professional Ren’Py creators, production workflows, and commercial projects.

  • Includes commercial use rights.
  • Includes exports (HTML and CSV; PDF export is granted but rollout is deferred to v2.0.G), CLI analysis commands, Compare snapshots / Compare Reports, Flowchart+, full PILOT, OMEGA (feature-maturity gate applies), and advanced production workflows.
  • The export JSON API is not included in standard plans and is a separate add-on.

3. Godot Pro — 24 USD/month or 169 USD/year

For Godot creators, teams, and studio workflows.

  • Includes commercial use rights and Godot-focused production workflows.
  • Includes exports (HTML and CSV; PDF export is granted but rollout is deferred to v2.0.G), CLI analysis commands, and Compare snapshots / Compare Reports.
  • Godot support exists, but feature depth may vary by engine.

Feature availability by tier can change over time — the pricing page always shows the current matrix.
