Unity review

Unity takes second place for reach. Unity's pages list more than 25 supported platforms, and Unity Pro adds publishing to game consoles and Apple Vision Pro. Unity Personal is free for individuals and small organizations with less than $200K in revenue and funds raised over the last 12 months, which covers most hobbyists and early indies. Above that line, Unity Pro costs $2,310 per seat per year prepaid or $210 per seat per month, and Enterprise is required above $25M. Unity updated its Editor Software Terms to remove language about the canceled Runtime Fee, so there is no per-install charge. The cost is the main drawback: a Pro seat is far more expensive than any other paid plan here, and console builds need Pro or a key from the platform holder. The editor also has more to learn than the 2D-focused tools further down the list.

Who it is for
