A SOLIDWORKS license on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform starts at €290 per month per workstation, or €3,480 per year for the Standard plan. The rest depends on three factors: the plan you choose, the number of workstations, and the length of your commitment. Here are the up-to-date figures for 2026, straight to the point.
- SOLIDWORKS on the platform: from €290/month (Standard, €3,480/year) to 631 €/month (Ultimate, €7,572/year), per position, annual contract.
- The price goes down the longer you sign up for: monthly > annual > 3 years.
- CATIA on the platform launches around 590 €/month (Essential).
- The subscription includes cloud access, multi-user access, updates, and a dedicated Ohmycad engineer.
- For an exact figure based on your configuration, the simulator provides an estimate in two minutes.
How much does SOLIDWORKS cost on the platform?
Four packages, ranging from a design-only workstation to a complete suite. Prices are in euros, excluding tax, per workstation, based on an annual contract.
| Offer | €/month | €/year | What It Offers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 290 | 3 480 | 3D design, manufacturing, and cloud-based collaboration included |
| Professional | 346 | 4 152 | + realistic rendering (Visualize) |
| Premium | 458 | 5 496 | + motion simulation and analysis |
| Ultimate | 631 | 7 572 | One role, 61 applications: Extended CAD, advanced simulation, project management |
For most engineering firms just getting started on the platform, the Standard plan is sufficient: it already covers design, manufacturing, and cloud-based collaboration. You should upgrade to the next tier only when rendering, simulation, or the scope of your applications warrant it, not before.
What's Included in the Price
The subscription isn't just about access to the software. It includes cloud storage, the ability to work on multiple computers without needing to swap a physical key, version updates, and support from an Ohmycad CAD engineer who is familiar with your project. It’s this last point that makes all the difference when a project hits a snag on a Friday night.
And what about the price of CATIA?
CATIA on the platform starts at around €590 per month per workstation for the Essential plan, in euros. The Master and Elite tiers increase in price depending on the modeling, simulation, and management capabilities included. Since the CATIA configuration depends heavily on the specific industry, the exact price requires a quote.
How Your Price Is Calculated
Three variables determine the total cost. First, the plan (Standard through Ultimate). Second, the number of workstations. Finally, the contract term: for the same plan, the monthly rate is higher than the annual rate, which is itself higher than the 3-year rate. In addition, if needed, there are supplementary modules: data governance (PLM), cloud simulation, electrical engineering, and manufacturing. None of these are mandatory; you can add them as needed.
The easiest way to figure out your budget is to price simulator : You choose the plan and the term, and it displays an immediate estimate. For a fixed rate and personalized assistance, an Ohmycad advisor will follow up with you.

Frequently asked Questions
How much will a SOLIDWORKS license cost in 2026?
On the platform, a SOLIDWORKS license ranges from €290 per month (Standard plan, €3,480 per year) to €631 per month (Ultimate plan, €7,572 per year), per workstation and with an annual commitment.
Does the price go down if I sign up for a longer term?
Yes. For the same plan, the monthly rate is the highest, the annual rate is lower, and the 3-year commitment is the most cost-effective. It’s the contract term that affects the monthly rate, not just the plan itself.
How much does CATIA cost on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform?
CATIA starts at around €590 per month per workstation for the Essential plan. Higher tiers (Master, Elite) depend on the required capabilities and are subject to a quote.
What does the Ohmycad subscription include?
Software, cloud storage, multi-user access, version updates, and support from a dedicated CAD engineer. You’re not just buying a license, you’re getting a point of contact who understands your project.
How can I get an exact price for my setup?
The price simulator Provides an estimate in two minutes based on the offer and duration. For a firm quote, an Ohmycad advisor will take over the case.
