We understand that our users need to test our Live2D SDK products to judge whether or not the SDK products would fit their content. For this reason, Live2D SDK products are available for download at no initial fee upon agreeing to the Live2D Proprietary Software License Agreement and the Live2D Open Software License Agreement. No costs are involved with the use of SDK products during the trial and development phases. In return, based on the terms of the Live2D Proprietary Software License Agreement, publishers are required to obtain an SDK Release License (Publication License Agreement) and pay the applicable fees when releasing content (a game, app, etc.) using our Live2D SDK products.
The license framework presented on this page does not apply to Expandable Applications such as avatar systems.
The plan will be determined by the profit model of the customer content
(individual titles that are released).
“Expandable Application” means any work having significant expandability among services or content utilizing SDK products.
In particular, it includes the Derivative Work which uses and generates any indefinite numbers of models by adding or combining files or data (e.g. avatar), or, the Derivative Work containing multiple or other works in one title, or accessible to such works through one title (e.g. collection of relevant works or portal).
The agreement for an Expandable Application requires a different agreement from the regular SDK Release License.
Note: A separate agreement is also required for General Users and Small-Scale Enterprises.
This plan applies when your content (individual title) contains any in-app purchases or subscription elements.
The fees below are those after applying the special discount for displaying the Live2D logo in your app & listing your app in our Showcase page.
There are 4 categories for size of the business entity determined based on annual sales. These are Large Entity, Medium Entity, Small-Scale Enterprise, and General User.
| Large Entity | Medium Entity (annual sales less than 100 million yen) |
