FAQ

Is BioRender available for free?

Yes. A permanently free plan is published, not a time-limited trial.

Where is the vendor of BioRender based?

Science Suite Inc. (operating as BioRender) is based in Canada. Regardless of that location, data processing and privacy terms are governed by the vendor's own contract.

How is BioRender billed?

The detailed AI help lists Academic Individual at USD 5 monthly for 50 credits or USD 48 annually for 600 credits, and Industry at USD 25 monthly or USD 240 annually for the same quantities. The pricing overview inconsistently labels USD 5/25 as annual starting prices. The amounts used here are the explicit invoice amounts from the AI help. List prices are in US dollars. The terms allow billing-location differences. The 14-day trial requires a card and becomes paid unless canceled in time.

What plans does BioRender offer?

The catalog documents 25 plans with price, billing period, and included features.

Is BioRender currently available?

BioRender is still active: scientific editor. Fully editable AI figures in beta. Academic and Industry usage rights differ.

How we compare

We compare free access, paid entry, plan limits, features and the listed official sources. Unsourced figures stay marked as not published.

Only confirmed entries appear in the catalog. Prices, plans and limits come from listed official vendor pages. Missing figures stay marked as not published. Search results are ordered by Task match by default; category and task lists are alphabetical. Both can be switched to Free access first; neither is a quality ranking. The vendor page always wins.
