| Change the engine itself iWith Pro you may change the engine's own code for your games: rework editors, add new tools and areas, build your own rules. Indie and Studio use the engine as it is. | No | No | No | Yes |
| Command interface and Pro toolkit iPro gives you an interface for your AI coding agent, such as Claude Code or Codex. Connect it and it can change, rework and extend the whole engine and your project directly: run every editor action, check the result with a report and screenshot, undo anything. The Pro toolkit adds ready-made guides and tests so your agent knows how the engine works. | No | No | No | Yes |
| Quest Helper iQuest Helper is our separate app for planning areas and quests: where things are, which quest goes where, and why. It works with or without Terra Engine. With Terra Engine you pay no Quest Helper subscription while your updates run: Indie includes Quest Helper Solo, Studio and Pro include Quest Helper Team with 5 seats, each with unlimited projects.

12 months of updates are included. After that, another year of updates costs €399 (Indie), €1,199 (Studio) or €1,500 (Pro). If you do not renew, your version keeps working, you just get no new updates. We never take a share of your game revenue. Quest Helper, our app for planning areas and quests, is included with no subscription for as long as your updates run.
How the license works
- Three editions. Indie is 999 EUR for 1 seat, with no revenue limit. Studio is 2,999 EUR for up to 5 seats, with priority support. Both include the full editor, free content building and export, but not the command interface and not the right to rebuild the engine.
- Pro is 4,999 EUR once plus 1,500 EUR per year for updates, the Pro toolkit and support. It gives you the right to change and develop the engine itself, on our foundation, for your own games (the engine may not be passed on), plus the command interface and Pro toolkit, unlocked with a Pro license key, and priority support.
- 12 months of updates come with Indie and Studio. The version you have may be used without time limit.
- Renewal. After the 12 months, another year of updates costs €399 for Indie and €1,199 for Studio. You can skip it and stay on your version.
- Free trial. The full editor, without export. It is for evaluating, not for releasing games.
- No revenue share. Indie and Studio are no subscription. The games you make belong to you.
- No refunds after download. Please use the free trial first. As digital content, your 14-day right of withdrawal ends when you expressly agree at checkout that delivery starts immediately and confirm that you lose your right of withdrawal. Without that consent the statutory right applies.
- Final license terms will be published before sales start.
Pricing questions
Is it a subscription?
Indie and Studio: no. You pay once and keep your version forever, and updates for 12 months are included. Pro has a yearly fee of €1,500 for updates, the Pro toolkit and support.
What does the free trial include?
The full editor, so you can build and test everything. Only the export is switched off, so the trial is for evaluating, not for shipping.
What do I get after 12 months?
Your version keeps working, for good. Another year of updates costs €399 (Indie), €1,199 (Studio) or €1,500 (Pro). Without it, your project stays on its version at no extra cost.
Indie or Studio?
Indie is for one developer. Studio covers up to 5 seats, adds priority support and is meant for teams and studios. There is no revenue limit: how much your game earns never changes your edition. Choose Pro if you want to change the engine itself or use the command interface and Pro toolkit.
Do you take a share of my game revenue?
No. There is no revenue share. Your revenue does not affect your edition either: there is no revenue limit.
Do I own the games I make?
Yes. The games you create belong to you, and we claim no rights to your content. The license terms will be published before sales start.
Can a team share one license?
Indie is for 1 seat. Studio covers up to 5 seats. A license is tied to its seats, so sharing it beyond them is not allowed.
What is the Pro license?
Pro is the third edition: €4,999 once plus €1,500 per year for updates, the Pro toolkit and support. It gives you the right to change and develop the engine itself, on our foundation, for your own games (the engine may not be passed on), plus the command interface and Pro toolkit (commands, check reports, screenshots, undo, F12, the test suite and working rules). It is unlocked with a Pro license key and includes priority support. There is no revenue share.
Can I change the engine code without Pro?
Adjustments that are necessary for using the engine, such as fixing a bug, are fine. Rebuilding or further developing the engine is only allowed with the Pro license, whether you do it by hand or with tools.
Can I get a refund?
No refunds after download. Please use the free trial first. As digital content, your 14-day right of withdrawal ends when you expressly agree at checkout that delivery starts immediately and confirm that you lose your right of withdrawal. Without that consent the statutory right applies.
