Helonic is an AI construction drawing analysis platform for teams researching software pricing during drawing review. Revit cost as of November 2026: $380 a month, $3,005 a year, or $9,020 for three years. Plus AEC Collection, Revit LT, Flex token, and education pricing.
Revit costs $3,005 per year, $380 per month, or $9,020 for a three-year term for one named user bought directly from Autodesk in the US, as of November 2026. There is no perpetual license. Most firms choose between Revit alone, the AEC Collection, Revit LT, or pay-per-day Flex tokens.
As of November 2026, Autodesk lists Revit at $380 monthly, $3,005 annually, or $9,020 for three years. The AEC Collection, which adds AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Navisworks Manage and more, costs $460 monthly, $3,675 annually, or $11,030 for three years. Revit LT is $70 monthly or $560 annually, and Flex access costs 10 tokens (about $30) per day.
A full Revit subscription costs $3,005 a year on annual billing, which is the option most firms pick. Prices below come from Autodesk's Revit vs Revit LT comparison, the Revit subscription FAQ, the AEC Collection page, the Autodesk store, and the Flex page, all checked November 1, 2026.
| Option | Monthly | Annual | 3-year | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revit | $380 | $3,005 | $9,020 (3 annual payments) | Full Revit, including worksharing and MEP, structure, and construction tools |
| AEC Collection | $460 | $3,675 | $11,030 (3 annual payments) | Revit, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Navisworks Manage, Forma Data Management, and more |
| Revit LT | $70 | $560 | Not offered | Single-user architectural BIM, no worksharing |
| AutoCAD Revit LT Suite | Offered | $680 | Offered | Revit LT plus AutoCAD LT |
| Revit on Flex | 10 tokens per day | Tokens at $3 each under 5,000 | Not applicable | About $30 per day the product is open |
| Education | Free | Free | Not applicable | Eligible students and educators, renewable each year |
The "starting at $251 a month" figure on the Revit page matches the $3,005 annual price divided by twelve. You still pay annually. If you actually want to pay month to month with no commitment, the price is $380.
Monthly billing makes sense for a contract drafter on a four-month job. Past about eight months of use, annual billing is cheaper.
The AEC Collection costs $670 a year more than Revit and pays off as soon as you also need AutoCAD. AutoCAD alone is $2,095 a year, so Revit plus AutoCAD bought separately runs $5,100 against $3,675 for the collection.
Per Autodesk, the collection includes Revit, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Forma Site Design, Forma Building Design, InfraWorks, ReCap Pro, Navisworks Manage, and Forma Data Management (formerly Autodesk Docs). That last item matters for teams sharing sets in the cloud; our Autodesk Construction Cloud pricing guide explains what standalone Data Management costs.
Revit LT is a single-user architectural BIM tool at $560 a year, and full Revit adds worksharing, MEP, construction modeling toolsets, and advanced analysis. A solo architect producing permit sets for houses and small commercial work can live in LT.
Once two people need to work in the same model, or an engineer needs MEP or structural tools, LT stops working. LT also has no three-year term.
Flex makes sense if someone opens Revit fewer than about 100 days a year. Revit uses 10 tokens per 24-hour day, and tokens cost $3 each below 5,000 tokens, so a day of Revit costs about $30. At $3,005 a year, a subscription breaks even near 100 days of use.
The minimum Flex purchase is 33 tokens for $99, and tokens expire one year after purchase. Autodesk suggests about 200 tokens a year for an AutoCAD LT user who occasionally needs full Revit, which works out to roughly 20 Revit days.
No. Autodesk's Revit FAQ states it no longer sells perpetual licenses, and all new access is by subscription. A subscription can be installed on up to three devices, but only the named user can sign in, on one computer at a time.
Subscribers can also install the three previous Revit versions, which helps when a project is locked to an older release.
Revit models still ship as 2D PDF sheet sets for bid and permit, and that's what contractors, plan reviewers, and subs actually read. Helonic reviews those sheets for coordination, code, and missing-information issues in 15 to 30 minutes, with no model required, as described in AI drawing review without BIM.
That makes it a QA pass on the deliverable, not a replacement for Revit or for model-based clash detection. Helonic's code compliance checks flag IBC, ADA, and NFPA issues on the sheets themselves. See how it compares in the best AI tools for architects, and see our construction software pricing guide for other tools on a design firm's bill.
Manas is the co-founder and CTO of Helonic, where he leads engineering and AI research for construction drawing analysis. He works directly with structural, MEP, civil, and fire protection engineers to translate the way they review drawings into AI systems that flag the issues that actually matter in the field. Before Helonic, he built machine learning pipelines for technical document understanding and has spent the last several years interviewing licensed design engineers and discipline leads to ground product decisions in real practice rather than industry assumptions.
How this page was researched: Prices were checked on November 1, 2026 on Autodesk's Revit vs Revit LT comparison page, the Revit subscription FAQ, the AEC Collection overview, the Autodesk online store, and the Autodesk Flex page with its token volume table. Licensing terms (no perpetual licenses, three devices, three prior versions) come from the Revit overview and FAQ. Break-even figures are our own arithmetic from those published prices.
