Virtual.ink features

Virtual.ink is sold as four licence types so studios can match the software to their actual operating model. Some teams need an accessible entry point. Others need stronger output control, more operational flexibility, or a closer relationship with the product team.

This overview is the quick read: what each licence type is for, how the progression works, and where Pulse becomes the right fit.

Licence types at a glance

• Starter: a free one-year entry tier for testing, demos, learning, and light-volume use.
• Basic: the first paid production tier, with higher resolution, render-and-branding tools, and browser access on the licensed machine.
• Pro: the higher-end studio tier, with dual-camera, naming, backup, and local-network device pages for broader operation.
• Pulse: the relationship tier for teams that want the full commercial toolset plus direct collaboration, earlier feedback loops, and stronger roadmap visibility.

How the licence types progress

• Starter gets you into Virtual.ink with the intentionally limited free tier.
• Basic adds the first paid production features, including branded rendering and local browser operation on the licensed machine.
• Pro adds the more advanced operational layer, including dual-camera, naming, backup, and broader device-page access across the local network.
• Pulse keeps the production depth of the top tier and adds the partnership layer for studios that want a closer relationship with Xangle.

Why studios choose Pulse

• Direct async access to the development team instead of documentation-only support.
• Priority beta access when relevant pre-release features are ready for controlled use.
• Earlier consideration during roadmap review when tradeoffs and priorities are being discussed.
• The longest offline operating window in the current public plan lineup.

Good to know

• Pulse is not positioned as a guarantee that every request will ship.
• The difference is earlier review, closer communication, and a stronger working relationship when priorities are being discussed.
