Unity Pro or Unity Personal for add-on creation?

_arnaud · May 24, 2016, 4:43pm

My startup is making over $100K of gross revenue. I am interested in building an asset/add-on for Unity. Can someone please confirm that I need to purchase the Unity Pro license if I make over $100K of gross revenue even if I am building an asset and not publishing a game? Thanks in advance.

Which Version You Can Use - Unity Personal Revenue Restrictions
Except for a thirty (30) day trial period, Unity Personal (including the iOS and Android platform deployment options) may not be used by:

a Commercial Entity that has either: (a) reached annual gross revenues in excess of US$100,000, or (b) raised funds (including but not limited to crowdfunding) in excess of US$100,000, in each case during the most recently completed fiscal year;

a Non-Commercial Entity (this means academic and governmental entities as defined below) with a total annual budget in excess of US$100,000 (for the entire Non-Commercial Entity (not just a department)) for the most recently completed fiscal year; or

an individual (not acting on behalf of a Legal Entity) or a Sole Proprietor that has reached annual gross revenues in excess of US$100,000 from its use of the Unity Software during the most recently completed fiscal year, which does not include any income earned by that individual which is unrelated to its use of the Unity Software.

It’s all right there. You will know the circumstances. Basically if this asset is for your company, then yes, you need the license.

If it’s you personally doing it, then it depends on how much you make from Unity related services and sales - if it’s more than 100K, then yes. Else no.
