Unity Game Engine Subscription Unity Plus, Pro or Stick To Personal?
Depends who are you? Are you a beginner and cant decide if you need to buy assets? Are you someone that makes $100k or over in revenue then You can't use the personal edition, you will be using the plus version unless you make over $200k in revenue in that case you will have to subscribe to the unity pro.
Personal: Core Engine if you are just starting out and learning stick to the personal, the only reason you will need the plus is if you really hate the splash screen and want a dark template, or there was sale that gave out 2 free essentials pack and you were curious and had the spare change to purchase and try it out. So if you are just learning and aren't making revenue from any of your games stick to personal until you ship a game. The games created in each version is tagged by unity and you can not make a game in personal and then transfer it over to plus and vice versa. If you are working in a team everyone must have the same subscription level in order to collaborate on the same unity project.
Plus:
- Unity dark editor skin.
- Removing Unitys splash screen, and customizing your own.
- Unity plus now comes with a choice of currently 4 essentials packs to help jump start your unity games if you have not already purchased those assets already. They have currently Mobile Essentials, 2D Essentials, Art Essential, VR Essentials pack. All costing around 150$ per pack if you were to purchase the assets in the assets stores with out the pack.
- You get unity teams so if you are working in a team then you may need to upgrade to plus and depending how many in your team you will need a unity teams advance subscription if you are over 3 people working on the project.
- Analytics and performance reporting as well as 50 concurrent multiplayer support, which is 30 more than your personal accounts concurrent users which is 20.
- Plus and Pro Subscriptions will allow you to remove the unity splash screen.
- The Unity Pro version has everything that the plus has but you also get access to their source code if you want them.
Pro:
- Everything in plus, but you can make over $200k in revenue, versus Plus $200k or less.
