H2R Graphics Pro participates in academic licensing. If you have a .edu email address, you may qualify for a 40–60% discount. Check their "Education" page. This brings the price down to as low as $30.

The developer of H2R Graphics frequently releases updates to fix bugs, improve performance, and maintain compatibility with newer versions of OBS, vMix, and ATEM firmware.

By supporting the developers, you also contribute to the software's ongoing development and ensure you have the best, most secure tools to elevate your productions. The value of the Pro features — professional tools like the Telestrator, NDI Output, and a vast suite of animated graphics — far outweighs the one-time cost of the license.
