Dear DiRoots Community,

In our previous announcement, we mentioned that we are excited to enter a new chapter with DiRoots. We are transitioning from a fully free model to a freemium business model. This decision is crucial for securing the financial support necessary for DiRoots to invest in our team and accelerate the development of new tools that will continue to drive innovation in the AEC industry.

This transition will be effective from October 23rd, 2024, and will allow us to continue delivering innovative solutions while improving and expanding our tools. With this new model, we aim to provide even more value to our users while remaining the leader in Revit plugins.

Pricing Structure and Early Adopter Promotion

To ease this transition, we are thrilled to announce a time-limit promotion for early adopters based on annual subscriptions, detailed in the table below.

Additional discounts will apply for those interested in purchasing bundle packages, making it even more affordable to access our entire suite of tools. By securing your licenses early, you can take advantage of significant savings.

Free vs. Premium Tools

We understand that many of you have relied on our free tools for years, and we remain committed to continuing to offer essential features at no cost. However, to support the ongoing development and maintenance of our tools, certain advanced features will now be part of our premium tier.

• DiStem will be a fully paid tool, accessible only to premium users.
• ProSheets will remain free, but advanced features—such as DocRegister, automatic image embedding, and scheduled batch printing—will now require a premium subscription.
• DiRootsOne will offer a mix of free and premium features. Tools like SheetLink, TableGen, QuickViews, and OneParameter will have premium-only functionality, while tools like ParaManager, OneFilter, SheetGen, and others will remain fully free, with some minor exceptions where certain features will require a premium subscription.
• IDS4Revit, a new tool coming soon, will be a fully paid tool, accessible only to premium users.

Licensing and Subscription Options

Our licensing system will operate on a per-user basis, ensuring that every Revit user can access the tools they need at an affordable price. While we won’t be offering floating or network licenses, administrators will be able to easily manage and reassign licenses through our User Management System, providing flexibility without the added cost of floating licenses.

Annual subscriptions will be available starting from October 5th, 2024, and in early 2025, we will introduce a monthly subscription option for those who prefer more flexibility. Soon, users will also be able to purchase licenses directly through our website, making the process even more convenient.

Why This Change is Essential

We understand that this transition may be difficult for some users, and we want to acknowledge that upfront. Many of you have supported us for years, and we are deeply grateful for your loyalty. However, for DiRoots to survive and thrive, this shift is necessary. The free model alone has not provided the financial support required to sustain the development of new tools and features. By embracing this change, we are overconfident that DiRoots will continue to have a significant and positive impact on the AEC industry, just as we have over the past several years. Our goal remains to offer the best and most affordable solutions for Revit users, and this transition will help us accelerate and achieve that.

Next Steps

To secure your licenses during the early adopter promotion and take advantage of these significant savings, please contact us at sales@diroots.com at your earliest convenience. We are here to assist you in making the transition as smooth as possible.

Thank you for your continued trust and support. We are excited about the future and look forward to bringing even greater value to the AEC industry with your help.

Warm regards,
Jose Oliveira
