Sibe has always been built around a simple idea: engineering teams should have an easy way to manage CAD data and collaborate around it without introducing unnecessary complexity into their day-to-day work.

With our new Core plan, we are taking that idea further.

This release is not only about making Sibe more accessible. We are also bringing more of Sibe’s collaborative capabilities into Core, so that engineering teams can manage files, review work, share information and involve non-CAD teammates without immediately moving to a more advanced plan.

At the same time, Sibe is growing together with our customers. As teams adopt Sibe and expand the role it plays in their engineering processes, they need more than version control and collaboration. They need BOM management, structured part numbering, exports, API access, backups, and better ways to connect engineering data with the rest of their organization.

That is what Scale plan is for.

From October 1, 2026, Sibe offers two primary plans for most engineering teams: Core and Scale.

Core Plan

On Core you get version control, assembly references handled, and reviewers who can see the model, with nothing else to administer.

Native SolidWorks add-in: check files in and out directly in SolidWorks
Automatic version and revision control, with assembly references handled for you
Contributor and Viewer seats for reviewers, buyers and non-CAD teammates
Free Visitor links: open a model in any browser, no Sibe account needed
Google and Microsoft 365 sign-in
50 GB of storage per Editor

Everything above comes with every Editor seat. Reviewers and non-CAD teammates come in on Contributor and Viewer seats.

$50 per Editor/month billed annually, or $60 month-to-month.

Scale Plan

On Scale plan you get the data downstream: parts lists into purchasing, production files to the shop floor, and Sibe connected to the other systems you run. Scale is new, and it gives you everything in Core, plus:

BOM: live Bills of Materials generated from your SolidWorks assemblies
Part Numbering
Manual and automated exports: PDF, STEP, DXF and DWG for the shop floor
API access for test integrations and proofs of concept
500 GB of storage per Editor
Priority support

Everything above comes with every Editor seat. The step up from Core is $10 per Editor each month on annual billing.

$60 per Editor/month billed annually, or $72 month-to-month.

‍

Scale grows as the team does.

Start on Core. Move to Scale when the data needs to leave the engineering team.

Scale add-ons attach when you need them: Backups, Increased API Capacity, Additional Storage and EU Data Residency. Add any of them at any point on a paid Scale plan, on monthly or annual billing. Core has no paid add-ons, so what you see above is the whole plan.

Seats for the people who don't need SolidWorks

Your engineers need a CAD seat. Your production manager, your buyer and your client do not. Both plans carry three ways to bring them in:

Contributor, $180 per year or $18 per month. Markups, measurements, comments and downloads in the Web Dashboard, and the right to review and approve Release Candidates
Viewer, $60 per year or $6 per month. View files and markups, read-only
Visitor links, free. One link to one model, latest version, opens in any browser. No seat, no account, no login

A Vendor seat is coming: everything a Viewer sees, plus downloads of approved production formats, for the suppliers who need the drawing but never touch the model.

If you are on Business or Business Plus

Your plan keeps running and your price stays the same. Business and Business Plus became legacy plans on October 1, 2026, and the transition runs in stages from there, set out below.

Core costs what Business Plus cost before October 1, and every plan now writes to metadata properties. Scale carries the BOM, Part Numbering, exports and API work that Business Plus carried.

You also pick up the new feature sets at no extra cost:

Annual billing: Business gets every Core feature and Business Plus gets every Scale feature, until the end of your current term
Monthly billing: the same, through December 31, 2026

Move to Core or Scale at any point and you keep the expanded set for good.
