* Unity versions, including 2023, previous to the 2023 LTS version released in 2024 are excluded from any runtime fee. But for those the threshold to be eligible to use the Personal edition is still at $100.000. Due to the removal of the Plus version, $100k effectively is the threshold for the Pro version.

** Undisclosed Licences are based on estimations. The actual cost can vary considerably.
