FAQ
Is BioRender available for free?
Yes. A permanently free plan is published, not a time-limited trial.
Where is BioRender's vendor based?
Science Suite Inc. (operating as BioRender), based in Canada. For data processing and privacy terms the vendor's own contract governs.
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; 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. This catalog uses the AI help’s explicit invoice amounts. List prices are source USD prices; terms allow billing-location differences. The 14-day trial requires a card and becomes paid unless canceled in time.

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