Where to Find Construct 3 Pricing and Purchase Options
Construct 3's pricing and purchase options are on the official construct.net website, split across three separate pages depending on what you want to buy: a general pricing/plans page, a page to buy Construct itself, and a separate page to buy the Animate animation software. There is also a free trial mentioned in the site's own materials, so you can evaluate the engine before paying. All three purchase paths route through Stripe as the payment platform.
The three official pages
| What you want | Page | URL |
|---|---|---|
| Compare plans and pricing | Pricing and plans | https://www.construct.net/en/game-services/pricing |
| Buy the Construct game engine | Buy Construct now | https://www.construct.net/en/make-games/buy-construct |
| Buy the Animate animation software | Buy Animate now | https://www.construct.net/en/animation-software/buy |
The distinction matters: the "Pricing and plans" page is the overview, while the two "buy" pages are the actual purchase flows for the two products. If you only need to know what a subscription costs, start with the pricing page. If you have already decided to buy, go straight to the relevant buy page.
How to get there
- Go to construct.net.
- Look for the Pricing entry in the site navigation — it links to the pricing and plans page.
- From there, follow the purchase link for the product you want (Construct or Animate), or navigate directly to the buy URLs above.
- On the buy page, complete checkout. Payment is processed through Stripe.
Expected result: you land on a page listing the available plans and their prices, or on a checkout flow for the specific product.
What the site confirms — and what it doesn't
Confirmed by the site's own links and description:
- Construct 3 is described as a browser-based, no-code engine "ideal for teaching and quick game-jam prototypes," and it also supports JavaScript if you want to code.
- A free trial is referenced in the site's pricing signals, so you can try before purchasing.
- Payment is handled via Stripe.
Not stated in the available material, and therefore not something to assume:
- The actual price figures for any plan.
- Whether the free trial requires an account, a credit card, or has a time limit.
- Whether any tier is free permanently rather than trial-only.
If price is the deciding factor for you, open the pricing page directly rather than relying on secondhand summaries — plan details change, and the official page is the only authoritative source.
Choosing which page you need
- Still comparing options or budgeting: use the pricing and plans page.
- Ready to buy the game engine: use the Buy Construct page.
- Your interest is animation rather than game-making: use the Buy Animate page — it is a separate product with its own purchase flow.
For teaching or a game jam, the free trial is the logical first stop, since it lets you confirm the browser-based workflow fits your setup before committing to a plan.
