# Purchase & Activation ## Pricing Koel Plus employs a super simple pricing model: a __one-time__ payment of {{ config.plus.price }}. You read that right: no subscription, no recurring payments, no hidden fees, no per- or additional-seat costs — I hate those bullshit as much as you do. Pay __once__, and you get all current _and_ future updates at no extra fee, forever. ## Purchase Click here to purchase Koel Plus.
