This is a pretty open question – but frequently asked, so we’d thought give a quick intro to pricing.
Prices
Vectorworks pricing, in simple terms, ranges from £1745+VAT to £3700+ (+VAT). The cheapest new license is Fundamentals without VSS and the most expensive is Designer with VSS. (These are RRP. For our latest prices, please visit our Vectorworks pages.)
Pricing has increased in recent years but this has been partly offset by the inclusion of Renderworks in all new licenses. Previously, this was a £400 addon.
Alternatives
The closest matches to Vectorworks – ArchiCAD, AutoCAD and Revit are generally more expensive. AutoCAD is cheaper than some versions of Vectorworks but doesn’t include the tools and libraries found in Vectorworks Landmark, Spotlight, Architect and Designer.
