Rive changed its free plan on October 20, 2025, when exports moved to paid plans. Today the Free plan still includes the full editor and CLI, and it can export .riv files, but those files play a Rive splash screen. Files exported earlier keep working regardless of plan.
So you can technically ship a free export in a commercial app, but the splash screen makes that impractical for most product teams. Cadet, at $9 per seat per month billed annually, is the cheapest way to export without it and supports up to 3 seats. Voyager, at $32 per seat per month for up to 25 seats, adds shared libraries and team collaboration. Enterprise is $120 per seat per month for companies with $10M+ annual revenue.
The Rive runtimes on GitHub are open source and free on every plan, so there are no per-user or runtime royalties. The .riv format itself is authored in Rive’s editor, which means changing an animation later still needs a Rive seat.
ExodeUI, which we make, takes a similar approach with an open file format: one .exode JSON file played by runtime packages for React, Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid, React Native, SwiftUI and Flutter. The Community plan is free and Professional is $29 per month. Prices for both tools are taken from their pricing pages as of October 16, 2026.
