In this tutorial, you’ll explore Unity plans and identify the right plan for you. You will:

Learn about Unity IDs and how they are used.

Learn about the different Unity plans and what they offer.

Identify the plan most appropriate for your current needs.

Unity offers various subscription plans, from the free Personal plan for individual learners and hobbyists to enterprise plans used by large organizations. In this tutorial, you’ll learn about the plans so you can navigate this step in the installation process. 

Before you select a Unity plan, you’ll create a Unity ID. Let’s review what a Unity ID is and why it’s useful.  

A Unity ID is your user account with Unity. You need a Unity ID to access the Unity Editor and Unity Hub — the two applications you’ll use to create and manage Unity projects.

You can use your Unity ID to access other services, including:

When you create a Unity ID, you will be automatically assigned an organization that has the same name as your user name and consists only of yourself. Use this default organization to purchase plan subscriptions (for example, Unity Pro plan) for your personal use only. 

If you’ve been invited by your employer to join Unity, you can be associated with their organization. They can then assign you access rights to particular features (for example, access to review revenue generated in Unity Ads for marketing team members). You can even use this feature if you set up your own studio, sometime in the future!

In this video, our experts explain the main differences between Unity plans and give some advice on selecting the right plan for you.

Each Unity plan provides different benefits and features. They also have different eligibility requirements.

Use the Personal plan at no cost if you are working as an individual and you have received less than $100K in revenue or funding for your Unity projects in the last 12 months. It includes all the basic functionality of Unity. It’s probably the right fit for you!

If you’re a verified student or educator, you can also get additional benefits to support your learning journey. You’ll explore the Education Plans in the next step.

The Plus, Pro, and Enterprise plans are Unity’s paid plans, with features including additional monetization options, storage, support, and training. These plans are for professional Unity developers and organizations.

If you are using Unity for your own personal projects (not in your work for a company), and if you have received more than $100K in the last 12 months from your use of Unity, then you must use Unity Plus or Pro. 

If you work for an organization that has earned more than $200K in the last 12 months from any sources, you must use Unity Pro or Enterprise.

Any person or organization that pays the subscription fees may use Unity Pro or Enterprise. The Enterprise plan is specifically for teams with at least 20 members.

For complete details, see our comparison of the Unity plans and our terms of service.

If you’re a student or educator, one of the Unity Education plans is the best choice to support your learning journey with us. These are no-cost plans that include one subscription to Unity Pro.

You’re eligible for one of these plans if you’re one of the following:


a student enrolled in an accredited educational institution, who is of legal age to consent to the collection and processing of your personal information (this age is different depending on your location)

an educator at the post-secondary or secondary level in a qualified institution. 

For complete details about Unity for Educators, see the Unity Educator page

What are the benefits of the Unity Student plan?

The best thing about the Unity Student plan is that it meets you at your personal experience level. 

Cloud-based collaboration tools and specially-curated asset bundles will help you start on your learning journey if you’re a beginner. If you have prior experience in real-time or digital content creation, you might find more value in Cloud Build and Cloud Advanced Diagnostics functionalities.

GitHub itself is also a very useful tool to support version control in Unity. (You can find out more about version control in The production phase: Version control.)
