How much does Scratch cost? Do I need a license?

The Scratch editor and community are available for free thanks to the generosity of our supporters. If you would like to help support Scratch, please check out our Donate page.

Other uses of Scratch’s name, characters, brand elements, and user generated content do require a license. Whether you’re a for-profit company developing products for sale, or an educational or nonprofit organization looking to integrate Scratch into your learning programs, we want to make sure you’re set up for success and aligned with our values of creativity and safety. Check out our Partnership page for details on how to get started!
