Forge or Core: which should you choose?
Choose Forge if you want the full AniMate suite, new features as they are developed, and direct support. Choose Core if you want one add-on as a one-time purchase.
Forge
- Every current AniMate add-on in one plan.
- Early access to beta and work-in-progress features.
- New versions while your plan is active.
- Direct support, feature requests, and pipeline help.
- Keep every version you download after your plan ends.
Core
- Buy each add-on separately.
- Keep the version you purchase.
- Receive compatibility updates and maintenance until the next Core major release.
- New tools arrive with future Core major releases. You choose whether to upgrade.

What happens when a Forge plan ends?
Your access to new Forge releases and priority support ends. Every version you downloaded remains yours to use.
What does feature-locked mean?
A Core release receives fixes, compatibility updates, and improvements to tools it already includes. New tools wait for the next Core major release.
