This is one of the worst self inflicted wounds in the game engine market I have ever seen and I can’t fathom them not rolling back these changes if they want to stay viable. To put it bluntly, this new pricing is terrible. This is a massive departure from their previous pricing ( available here on WayBack machine). You can cancel your subscription after fulfilling your. With an active Buildbox subscription, you get access to every feature available in Buildbox including the full game. Keep in mind, this is on top of the $20/month subscription prices. The Buildbox subscription price for Pro is 49.99 per month with a 1 year commitment totaling 499.99 and for Buildbox.

So the news is still awful, and the pricing is still brutal, just slightly less brutal. Let’s put this in perspective, they are charging Unity-esque per seat pricing AND 2.5x Unreal Engine’s royalty rate (which doesn’t kick in until you’ve made $1M).

Plus subscribers only have to pay 30% revenue share and Pro only pay 10%. While certainly confusingly worded, it appears “Default” refers to the free tier. In short, they have changed their pricing to have a 70/30 ( and yes… the 30% is what the developer gets!) ON TOP of the existing subscription costs. Today, they took a MASSIVE step backwards with some simply insane changes to their pricing. BuildBox is a code-less 3D game engine we reviewed back in 2020 after they changed their pricing to be more accessible to the masses.
