Prices in USD, billed through Stripe. Sales outside Australia are GST-free exports, so no GST is added. The Week is a single charge. It covers seven days from the date you pick, nothing renews, and there is nothing to cancel. Month and Year renew automatically at the price shown until you cancel. Cancel any time from your account, with no notice period and no phone call, and you keep access to the end of the period you have paid for. By buying you agree to the terms and the refund policy.

The things people ask.

Something else? Ask us directly.

Why is there a weekly option?

Because a lot of work is short. A festival, a corporate week, a one-off gala. Pick the day it starts, pay once, and it ends seven days later on its own: nothing renews and there is nothing to cancel. You have paid for the week you used it rather than the year you didn’t.

What happens when a subscription ends?

The app keeps running to the end of the period you paid for, plus a short buffer so a late renewal can never interrupt a show. After that it stops until you renew. Your show files stay readable either way.

Can I move my licence between Macs?

Yes, and you don’t need us to do it. Sign in on any Mac to see every machine using your licence and free a seat from there, or do it from your account page. If a Mac is lost or dead, you can release it remotely.

Do I need an internet connection to run a show?

No. Once a Mac is activated, CueStudio checks its licence locally at launch and never needs the network to run. Being online only matters when you first activate, and for renewals to reach the machine quietly.

Can I try it first?

Yes, free, for as long as you like in 30-minute sessions. The demo is the whole application with the rig outputs held back; the download page has the details.

Do you do education or non-profit pricing?

Get in touch. Schools, conservatoires and community venues are exactly who this is for, and we would rather you were using it.
