Free
- Yes that's right, if your product is not intended to make any money, and is not
charged for in any way, then you may use FMOD in it for FREE!
- Many people use it for free until their commercial product is about to be
published. This is a great way to evaluate FMOD and see if it suits your needs
without any obligations.
- If you want to use it in a commercial product, then please see below.

- FMOD's Win32/Linux/Mac/WinCE pricing scheme is set up on a one-product, or
one-site (unlimited use) or multi site basis.

then distribute their products to end users. You cant get much better testing
