PRO pricing?
There's no clear indicator of the pricing of the pro upgrade. I'm kind of afraid to click on the "try for free" button myself, since I don't know what will happen if i accidentally activate the pro trial. Does anyone know for sure what the rate is for pro? And a link would be nice.

Pricing isn't shown there if you're not logged in
Although @DaforLynx: Thomas is the only authority on pricing, being the guy who puts them on those other pages and the big boss of MuseScore.com

Seems logical, you can't go pro without being logged in either.
In reply to https://musescore.com… by Jojo-Schmitz
I'm logged in, and it still isn't showing the price. But I'll take Thomas' word for it.
You may want to fix the page. Maybe it's because I'm on mobile right now.

Just remember to cancel in time.
And don't hit the 'special rebate', which comes without a free trial

How are those prices logical
In reply to How are those prices logical by Robert Fuller
How are they illogical? But better discuss that on musescore.com rather than here, e.g. in https://musescore.com/groups/improving-musescore-com

I tend to agree, being a casual user, I'd be happy to support but at about half that price. Maybe a tiered system? Just my opinion. I wonder how many users there are and how many pro users there are.

My thought too. In the past I've downloaded a handful of scores per year. I end up using maybe 1-2 of them for the local homeschool strings group I teach. I'm a volunteer - I don't get paid for teaching, and our budget for expenses is teeny-tiny. I can't justify $49 per year for that usage. :-(

@Beth, see: https://musescore.com/groups/musescore-updates-and-statuses/discuss/504…
Public Domain scores are no longer under a download limit. From now on, all users will be able to download as many scores as they want.
As we try to explain often this is not the right place, see: https://musescore.org/en/node/277874
But do not hesitate to ask questions here about the use of the software.

Alright, cool, I did click the Start Trial button and get the pricing, right there. (on my computer now btw)
It's like this post is turning into a bug report or something..
But thanks
Hi,
it's true that pricing is not very clear ; as I wanted to buy from France, I wanted to know final price in euros, and if some taxes like VAT applied, and so on.
I tried to get some information from Musescore support, but after several emails (the first being answered by a stupid machine) , I was told that :
"To learn the exact price, please, click on 'Try for free' or 'Start Free Trial', as prices vary depending on the currency. You can opt for either a monthly or a yearly subscription. If you choose a subscription with a trial period, you
ll be charged when the trial is over. The subscription auto-renews every month or year depending on the payment plan you choose. "
t charge any fees. Sometimes transaction fees are made by the bank. So you`d betted consul it. "Following email ("what about taxes ?) : "we don
Two things to know :
- when you click on 'Try for free' or 'Start Free Trial', you have to create an account to know the price, which is impossible to get elsewhere. Would money still be taboo ? (oh no, too stupid for Musescore guys :-)
- after account creation, there is only one currency : king $ !
Now, for the good news (Feb. 2020) : as I wanted to pay once at yearly subscription time, I didn't choose 3 months trial (the choice is not very clear but look and you'll find), and price was 29,99$ instead of 49,99. And I saw on my french Credit Mutuel bank statement that my final price was 27€ : I had my response ! No VAT (is this a really good new for European tax authorities ?) and no bank fee this time.
Other thing : if you are wondering if it's worth it : YES ! hundred times yes ; when you see how precious the score are for understanding, training and editing music, of course, PRO account is the logic tool to get the most of Musescore software, and if I well understood, a just way to contribute for musicians rights, but I would like to know precisely about real fees allocation by the company, since "Musescore works closely with copyright holders" and the quasi-obligation of a PRO account is justified by copyright protection.

There is no pricing here on musescore.org. Not at all, it is all free here and will be for eternity.
There is on musescore.com though, so to discuss that you'd need to go there.

I'll throw my opinion in here as well (since nobody asked). It is really frustrating when companies won't show you the pricing up front, but instead want you to start some free trial before you can know how much it'll cost. And no, musescore.com does not show the price. At least not in a web browser on a PC.

And that comment you threw in here would've instead be thrown so much better in the correct place as well. You basically responded to the post telling you where you should've posted instead...
Has anyone tried the "try to free" option yet to know if it activates a subscription? Just wondering
