KRON 2.0, and the Founder Price until 1 November 2026
Contents — 4 sections
KRON 2.0 is here, and with it a launch price for shops that come in early.
The offer
50% off every paid plan, on monthly and annual billing alike. Small Workshop, Pro and Factory all halve. Enterprise is quoted, and the discount applies to the first term.
What happens afterwards is the part to read carefully. Subscribe before 1 November 2026 and the rate is locked for as long as the subscription stays active, so you renew at the Founder Price for as long as you stay subscribed, not for a single year. The ordinary corollary applies: the rate holds while the subscription runs, and letting it lapse returns you to list price.
1 November 2026 is when the promotion closes, not when a countdown resets. After it, the discount markers come off the pricing page and the list prices stand.
What the discount applies to
Every paid tier, at the prices published on the pricing page. The comparison matrix there is the authority on what each plan includes: seats, warehouses, production areas, and which imports and exports are available at which tier.
Two points come up often enough to state here.
- The Free plan stays free. It is not a trial with an expiry attached to this promotion.
- Annual billing already carries its own reduction, and the Founder Price applies on top of it rather than instead of it.
Working out whether it pays
The savings estimator on the home page runs the arithmetic against your figures instead of ours. It takes four numbers, being monthly spend on linear steel, current waste percentage, hours a week spent on cut planning and paperwork, and the loaded hourly cost of whoever does that work, then nets the subscription off the result at the price you are actually being offered.
It scales the material saving off the waste you already have instead of applying a flat percentage, so a shop already running tight gets a smaller number from it. An estimate that flatters everybody is of no use to anyone.
Where to start
If you are evaluating, the documentation is public and covers the whole of v1. Some chapters are still waiting on their screenshots and say so where a figure is missing. It is the same documentation this blog is written from, and Getting started is the shortest path to a first cutting plan.
If you already know what you need, the plans are on the pricing page, with the Founder Price applied to what you see there until 1 November 2026.
