What is the difference between SketchUp Pro and SketchUp Free?

SketchUp Free is browser-based with limited features and no desktop app. SketchUp Pro includes the desktop app, LayOut for 2D documentation, Style Builder, advanced import/export formats (DWG, DXF, IFC), and unlimited cloud storage.

Can I still use SketchUp for free after cancelling Pro?

Yes. SketchUp offers a free web-based version at app.sketchup.com with basic 3D modeling capabilities. It does not include the desktop app, LayOut, or advanced file formats that Pro provides.

What happens to my SketchUp Pro files after cancellation?

Your .skp files remain on your computer and can be opened with SketchUp Free (web) or any version of SketchUp. However, LayOut files (.layout) require a Pro license to open and edit.

Click 'Billing' or 'Subscription' in the account management area to see your current SketchUp Pro plan and renewal date.

Cancel Subscription

Click 'Cancel subscription' and review the information about access loss. SketchUp may ask you to contact sales for enterprise plans — for standard plans, cancellation is online.

Retention Tips

We are sorry to see you considering cancellation. SketchUp Pro's desktop app and LayOut integration are critical for professional 3D workflows. If you are between projects or have a temporary budget constraint, we can discuss a pause or monthly plan. Would that be helpful?
