Pricing
Buy the pack that covers this IO list. Regenerating Rev B or Rev C inside that loop band does not buy the pack again. If the list grows past the band, you pay the difference to the next band — not a second full price. Credits are a 12-month multi-project option, not the default.

Loop credits (multi-project)
Not the default. 1 credit = 1 loop, valid 12 months, spendable across projects. A 150-loop job is $399 as Growth, or $895 as a 500-credit block — credits win only when you have several jobs this year.

In every paid pack
- Clean merged PDF: cover, legend, notes, drawing index, registers, I/O appendix, loop sheets, bookmarks
- Native DXF ZIP — one file per loop, editable blocks, your layers and title block
- Loop Register (protected Excel, round-trip, diff on re-import)
- Cable schedule, JB schedule, and termination lists
- Software and network register for HMI/SOFT rows
- Package QA before issue
- Unlimited regenerations inside the loop band (Rev B/C). If the list grows past the band, you pay the difference to the next band.
What the free tier includes
One project and the first 15 field-wired loops as a watermarked PDF. Loops 16+ stay in the project ungenerated. No DXF. Regenerating those 15 loops is still free; issuing the rest requires a pack.
Drafting hours versus the pack
Conservative first-issue time is 0.5 hours per loop to trace, check, title-block, and issue. We do not invent a drafter dollar rate — multiply the hours by yours. Rev B is where CAD re-bills and the pack does not, as long as the count stays in band.
| Topic | Manual CAD / drafter | SchematicForge |
|---|---|---|
| 50 loops, first issue | About 25 hours at 0.5 h per loop to trace, title-block, and issue | Starter $149. Clean PDF and native DXF. |
| 150 loops, first issue | About 75 hours at the same 0.5 h per loop | Growth $399. Same package, full band. |
| Client Rev B (tags change, count stays in band) | Another 5–15 hours on the sheets that moved — often another PO | Re-import. Only changed loops redraw. $0. Not a second pack. |
| List grows past the band (e.g. 150 → 180) | More tracing hours on the new loops | Pay the difference to the next band (Scale $749, difference $350) — not another $399. |
| Addressing mistakes | Found in commissioning or a red-line from site | Package QA: missing channel, duplicate address, card capacity |

How you pay
Packs and credit blocks are one-off purchases, not subscriptions. Checkout is handled by Paddle, our merchant of record — pay by card or another method Paddle supports. Prices exclude tax, which is calculated and added at checkout by Paddle. Refunds follow the refund policy.
Data, NDA, and questionnaires
- Drawings, registers, and schedules never call a model. Same input, same files.
- Guest uploads are kept until claimed at signup; they are not auto-deleted. You can delete a project and its artifacts.
- DPA (PDF on that page). We sign your NDA — email schematicforge@gmail.com, same-day reply. Security questionnaires the same address.
- Enterprise can run the same application as a Docker image on your network. Security.
