Purchase & Activation
Pricing
Koel Plus employs a super simple pricing model: You set your own price starting at €19.99, one time. You read that right: no subscription, no recurring payments, no hidden fees, no per- or additional-seat costs — I hate those bullshit as much as you do. Pay once, and you get all current and future updates at no extra fee, forever.
TIP
If the price is still too steep for you, let me know, and we can work something out. Also, if you’re a current or past sponsor ❤️, you’re eligible for a discount.
