Pay ahead: prepaying 2 years saves 10%, and prepaying 3 years saves 20%.

Discounts don't stack, except the pay-ahead discount, which applies on top of any other.

Exclusive licenses

Licenses are non-exclusive by default. An exclusive license for a title costs 4 times the yearly Standard price ($1,200 per title per year). It covers one channel or one region and runs for 1 to 3 years. It never covers our own site or anyone who already licenses that title. Free embeds of that title continue as usual.

Edtech subscription platforms

A platform that charges subscriptions pays the greater of $3,000 per year or 30% of the subscription revenue that comes from our games, worked out the way we agree in your license. We'll suggest a simple method, such as the share of total plays.

What every license includes

A self-contained HTML5 build you host yourself, or a hosted embed.
No Tabby Arcade ads in a licensed build or a hosted embed. You may run your own ads around the game, as long as they never cover gameplay.
A logo swap and your own name on the game with White-label, plus custom theming on request.
Updates and fixes for as long as a yearly license runs. A perpetual license includes updates and fixes for the first year. After that, the version you have keeps working forever.
Your players' data stays with you. A build you host yourself sends us nothing. A hosted embed sets no cookies and runs no analytics, but it loads from our servers, which keep standard request logs (including IP addresses) for 7 days for security only, as our privacy policy explains. We never collect names, emails or accounts from players.
Two games, Tidy Tiles Puzzle and Dot Code Breaker, are built on open-source games released under the MIT license. Your build includes the original MIT license and credits, and you must keep them with the game. The art, sound, name and our changes are licensed from us like any other game.

Every license is confirmed in a short written agreement before it starts. Invoices are due within 30 days. Prices are in U.S. dollars and don't include any sales tax or VAT. Yearly licenses renew only when you pay the next invoice.
