Hey SketchUp Community,
I’m Ty from the SketchUp Team, and I’m excited to share some big news! We’ve officially launched monthly subscriptions for Go and Pro! 
You’ve asked for it, and we’ve listened. Whether you’re a designer, architect, or just someone who loves 3D modeling, we know flexibility is key. Now you can subscribe to Go or Pro on a monthly basis – no long-term commitments, just the freedom to pay for what you need, when you need it.
What Does This Mean for You?
- Flexibility: Choose to subscribe one month at a time, giving you the power to scale your usage based on your project needs.
- No Long-Term Commitment: Pay only for the months you need, with the same access to all the powerful features of SketchUp Pro.
- Ideal for Short-Term Projects: Get Pro-level features when you need them most – without the upfront cost of an annual subscription.
- Continuous Access: Enjoy the latest updates, cloud storage, and priority support, all available in the monthly plan.
What’s the Difference Between Go & Pro?
Here’s a quick breakdown to help you choose the best option for your needs:
| Feature | SketchUp Go | SketchUp Pro |
|---|---|---|
| 3D Modeling (Web Version) | Yes | Yes |
| 3D Modeling (Desktop Version) | No | Yes (Full Desktop Version) |
| SketchUp iPad App | Yes | Yes (SketchUp iPad app, not the Pro application) |
| LayOut for Documentation | No | Yes |
| Unlimited Cloud Storage | Yes | Yes |
| Plugins and Extensions | No | Yes |
| File Import/Export Options | Web-Only (Go-specific formats) | Full Import/Export Functionality |
Who Should Choose SketchUp Go?
SketchUp Go is perfect for users who are on the go, love to work on the web, or use iPad for design. It’s great for those who need simple 3D modeling and viewing tools but don’t require the advanced features of the desktop app.
Who Should Choose SketchUp Pro?
SketchUp Pro is ideal for professionals who need the full suite of SketchUp tools. With the desktop version, LayOut, and advanced import/export options, you’ll have everything you need for complex projects and precise documentation.
