Light Lane software runs on flat monthly plans. $12 a month for Maker, $24 a month for Pro, with a fourteen day free Pro trial on every new account. Education, business, and enterprise engagements are scoped against the actual brief, with finance options through partner brokers.
Pick a plan, install Light Lane on your computer, run your first job the same day. Every new account gets a fourteen day Pro trial automatically. No setup call, no minimum commitment, no hidden activation fee.
All the core engraving features, sized for an individual using a single laser at home, in a studio, or in a small shop. Includes modern import and preview, real heat map output preview, full vector and raster processing, machine profiles for GRBL, Marlin, Smoothieware, and generic G-code, plus a materials database, saved presets, and templates. Cancel any time, change plans any time.
Everything in Maker, plus the production features that matter when the work starts paying back the difference. AI assistant for materials and settings, the material test grid, step and repeat, Ruida controller support, and the rest of the advanced toolset. Most makers stay on Maker comfortably. Pro is the right call when you actually need it.
For schools, businesses bringing real laser production into the company, and multi-site or factory environments, pricing is scoped against the brief. Hardware choice, laser type (fiber, CO2, IR, UV, handheld, or a combination), module set, integration scope, install complexity, and training requirements all change the number, and we would rather give you an accurate proposal in three days than a guessed price in five minutes that turns out to be wrong by twenty percent.
For business and enterprise engagements, finance and leasing options are available through partner brokers, which means the conversation can be about monthly cost rather than capital outlay where that fits the business better.
For schools, businesses, and multi-site setups, the next step is a short scoping conversation. The first call is on us.
Light Lane works for design and tech programmes that need a real laser capability. Classroom-friendly licensing, software-only fits where the hardware is already in place, or a full classroom-ready setup including hardware, install, and teacher training.
A full system scoped to your products, your volumes, and your existing process. Hardware, modules, software tailored and integrated with your CRM, ERP, inventory, or automation systems, install, training, on-site technician support options, and finance through partner brokers.
For multi-site setups, integrated factory environments, and accounts that need ongoing engagement rather than a one-off install. Custom proposals, account management, and integration with broader operational systems.
Software plans alongside the by-quote engagements. Maker and Pro are install-and-go. The trial is fourteen days, automatic on every new account.
