The Subscription option provides access to the latest version of Capture One Pro with all new features and updates as soon as they are released. If you choose the annual payment option, it will be the most cost-effective option for you. When you stop your subscription, you will lose access to the software, but our subscriber Loyalty Program allows you to purchase a perpetual license with a 20% discount for each year you are a subscriber.

The Perpetual License option provides a copy of Capture One Pro that you own and can continue to use as long as your hardware and operating system support it.

If you would like to get new features and updates more than once a year, it will always be cheaper to have an annual subscription and then purchase a perpetual license through our Loyalty Program when you stop your subscription. If you want to get new features and updates once a year and plan to use Capture One Pro for at least three years, it will be cheaper to have an annual subscription and then purchase a perpetual license through our Loyalty Program when you stop your subscription. A perpetual license is the most cost-effective option if you want new features and updates once every 2 or more years.
