Autodesk's Revit is Windows software for building information modeling (BIM), a model-based way to plan, design and coordinate buildings, used by architects, structural, MEP and civil engineers and construction teams. Autodesk's US store lists a standard subscription at $380 monthly, $3,005 for a year or $9,020 for three years per user, plus Flex pay-as-you-go tokens, and the prices below were checked on 2 November 2026. Revit LT, a simplified single-user edition, costs $70 monthly or $560 a year, and a free trial and free educational access also exist.

The bottom line

A professional BIM tool with no free plan beyond a trial and education access, where the billing term, the named-user rule and the choice between Revit and Revit LT decide the cost.

Our takeRevit is Autodesk's full BIM tool, priced in its US store at $380 monthly, $3,005 for a year or $9,020 for three years per named user.

The cheaper route is Revit LT at $70 monthly or $560 a year, which Autodesk describes as a simplified single-user tool. Autodesk's own FAQ and AEC Collection page disagree on the collection's price, so use the price card at checkout.

Why we rate itAutodesk publishes every plan price, return window and named-user rule, but its FAQ and AEC Collection page state different prices for the collection.

The catchOne named user per subscription, up to 3 devices with one sign-in at a time, Windows only, and no perpetual license.

Best / not good for

Best for

Architects and engineers who deliver projects as shared BIM models
Teams that can budget a named-user subscription for each modeler
Students and educators who qualify for free educational access

Not good for

Anyone who only needs to view or share Revit files, who can use the free Autodesk Viewer
Mac-only users, since Autodesk says Revit does not run natively on macOS
Buyers who want one license shared between several people

Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

Time to value
Autodesk points trial users to a Revit Quick Start Guide and says sample content is on the Home screen once Revit is open.
Scale breakpoint
Each additional modeler needs a paid seat: five seats on the annual plan come to $15,025 a year at $3,005 each, and Autodesk no longer sells new multi-user subscriptions.
Walled garden
Revit runs on Windows only, and when a subscription ends you keep free viewing of project files but may lose cloud storage granted by the subscription after 30 days.
