Pricing
Three benches. One workshop.
Nessie starts free and stays free for drawing a panel. What sits above that is for people who sell what they draw, and for studios with more than one pair of hands.

On every bench
Your work is yours
We claim no license in anything you draw, and we train nothing on it. Every panel keeps its full history.
Nothing to install
It runs in the browser, on the machine you already have. No downloads, no seats to administer.
Real glass, not swatches
Every sheet in the catalog is one you can order, matched against the manufacturers' own scans.
Questions about what this costs
Short answers, including to the one we cannot answer yet.
- Three panels open at a time, a starter selection from the pattern library, and a small Nessie mark on what you export or print. Printing a pattern at true size with Plot 1:1 starts on Pro. The drawing itself is not limited: the whole catalog, the cuttability checks and the cut list are all there, because a drawing you cannot trust is not worth having for free either.
- Nothing is deleted, ever. Panels past the three stay where they are and you archive one to open another. If you subscribe later they all come back as they were.
- Not yet. There is no checkout in Nessie at the moment, so signing up gives you everything and charges you nothing. The prices above are what the tiers will cost when billing is switched on, and we will tell you well before anything changes for an account that already exists.
- Three people on Pro, including you. Monster is as many as you like. Tell us how your studio works and we will price it for that rather than for a number we picked.
- Because what a studio pays depends on how many hands are on it, and a single figure would be wrong for nearly everybody.
- They stay, and you can still open them, print them and export them. We are not going to hold somebody's work hostage.
Draw something first.
You do not need to pick a tier to find out whether Nessie suits the way you work. Open the workbench and draw a panel. It costs nothing and nobody will ask for a card.
