Billing FAQ highlights (vendor)

  • Minimal commitment one year; multi-year discounts mentioned.
  • No monthly payments.
  • Decompilers are part of packages — not sold alone after the fact without upgrading plans.

FAQ

Why do I see both € and $?

That is how Hex-Rays published the page when checked. Use the checkout currency shown for your region.

Does Expert always cost €4,999?

That was the 2-decompiler tier displayed. Changing to 4 or 6 local decompilers changes the quote — use the live configurator.

Is cracking IDA cheaper?

Irrelevant and illegal. Not discussed further.

Is BinBench affiliated with Hex-Rays?

No. Unofficial price mirror with links back to the vendor.
