The universal photo management and editing software Zoner Photo Studio X now offers its users a new payment option. Payments for yearly licenses can newly be divided up into monthly payments throughout the year.

“With this change we’re trying to accommodate our users who don’t want to make a large one-time payment and find it more pleasant to have their license payments spread out over the whole year,” says Michal Prouza, Head of Software at Zoner, in explanation of the change.

Users can now pick up Zoner Photo Studio X either for a one-time sum of $49 or newly for a monthly payment of $4.99. The yearly license thus remains 18% less expensive, and users of monthly payments can easily switch to it in later years. They can also make monthly payments for the Family License; this costs an additional $3.99 per month on top of the basic license.

The monthly payments are charged automatically, and thus can only be made using payment methods that support this—payment cards and PayPal. Users will find all the functions for managing payment methods and payment documents in their Zoner Account control panel.

During their subscriptions, they are entitled to regular updates, exclusive tutorials and other materials, as well as free priority technical support.

The full version of the program is available to download and try free for 7 days at www.zoner.com.
