Pricing that pays for itself.

It expires on its own. Because no card is taken to start it, there is no auto-renewal, no auto-charge and nothing to cancel. When the trial ends you simply add a payment card if you choose to buy, otherwise nothing happens.

Yes. The AAF Checker is free forever: a native macOS app that checks any AAF for import problems before you import it, with no account and nothing uploaded. fPost and fMusic add a 7-day free trial with no credit card, so you can test everything on your own work before paying.

It depends on the product: fPost Studio includes 1 seat; every fMusic plan (Monthly, Yearly, Lifetime) includes 2 seats. fPost Suite is built for teams, and Enterprise uses floating licenses managed by a license server (LLS) for facility-wide coverage.

Licenses are not transferred self-service today. If you change machine, email support@forte-ai.com and the team will sort it out for you. The app verifies your active license at sign-in, so you do need an internet connection when you first sign in on a new Mac.

fPost Suite is EUR 599/year or 249/quarter: micro-category recognition, multi-AAF import, per-clip metadata and 24-hour priority support. Studio (EUR 399/year or 149/quarter, 1 seat) covers AAF import, session prep and macro-category recognition with standard support. Enterprise adds floating licenses, a license server, an SLA and volume pricing. Until September 15, every fPost purchase is Suite at the Studio price: EUR 399/year or 149/quarter.

Yes. fPost Suite launched with the July 2026 update: deeper micro-category recognition, importing multiple AAFs into one session, splitting one AAF across sessions, per-clip metadata and 24-hour priority support. Launch offer: until September 15 every fPost purchase and trial is Suite at the Studio price, EUR 399/year or 149/quarter.

The launch window closes: for new purchases Suite returns to its list price (EUR 599/year or 249/quarter) and Studio returns as a separate tier. What you buy during the window is yours at that price: a Suite year bought at EUR 399 renews at EUR 399. The free 7-day trial stays available.

fMusic is EUR 18 Monthly, EUR 109 Yearly, or EUR 499 Lifetime, and all three include every feature plus 2 seats. Yearly works out to about half the cost of paying monthly for a year. There is no feature-gated tier; you choose only the billing term.

Yes, for this version of fMusic. The one-time EUR 499 Lifetime license includes all updates to the current fMusic product, with all features and 2 seats. A future, separate product (for example a next-generation fMusic II) would not be included, as it would be a new product rather than an update.

You can switch to the fMusic Lifetime license at any time, but there is no upgrade pricing: Monthly and Yearly payments do not accumulate as credit toward Lifetime, and there are no discounted upgrade offers, because the subscription and the Lifetime license are two separate offers. To switch, you buy the Lifetime license at its full price and cancel your subscription so it does not renew.

Yes. Single users can change plan self-service in the user area; teams and facilities can arrange it through sales@forte-ai.com. Note that switching does not carry proration or credit for what you have already paid, so the new plan starts fresh. This includes moving from an fMusic subscription to Lifetime: the license is bought at full price.

Yes. Forte offers 40% off for students and educators, with proof of enrollment in a relevant audio course or of teaching one. Contact Forte before purchasing to verify eligibility. The free 7-day trial, with no credit card, is open to everyone in the meantime.

Prices are in EUR and include VAT. Payments run through Stripe, so you can pay by credit or debit card, PayPal, bank transfer and the other methods Stripe supports. Enterprise facilities can arrange purchasing through sales@forte-ai.com.

Standard support, included with fPost Studio and all fMusic plans, targets a response within 48 hours. fPost Suite includes priority support with a 24-hour target, and fPost Enterprise includes a contractual SLA. You can reach the team any time at support@forte-ai.com.
