Account types and discounts

By popular demand, users can now choose their account type:

  • Commercial
  • Academic
  • Personal


Prior to this, all accounts were assumed to be commercial.  However, we continually see strong demand from people in other areas, such as academics, researchers, and hobbyists.  This has especially been the case for our Gears App software-as-a-service.


In support of these groups, we provide a generous discount for paid monthly memberships.  If you signed up prior to these new account types being available, you can change your account type from your account profile.  The discount applied to your account is visible from your account billing page.


We are proud to offer our products and services to a wide range of industries and people!
