$0 can't double at renewal.
Mozaik owners have watched theirs move — one reported going from $125 a month to about $2,600 a year after the acquisition. Free has no renewal, no seat count and no revenue cap. Put it on every bench in the shop.
Mozaik, SketchList 3D, Cabinet Vision and Microvellum are all good software, and all of them cost money. WoodWright does the same core job for nothing.
Every figure below comes from the vendor's own published page, checked 6 September 2026. Where a vendor does not publish a price, that is what the row says — we are not going to guess at a number and put a competitor's name beside it.

A shop on Mozaik's CNC tier pays $2,700 a year, every year, before training. Shops have reported the renewal number moving: one owner posted on WOODWEB in July 2024 that his had gone from $125 a month to roughly $2,600 a year after Mozaik was acquired. That thread was titled “Time To Replace Mozaik??”
The alternatives suggested in it were Microvellum and Cabinet Vision. Neither publishes a price, which is its own answer: software a small shop can afford does not usually need a sales call to quote. There was nothing in between. That is why this page exists.
Some of this is because WoodWright is free. Most of it isn't — it's because of how the thing is built.
Designs are saved to your disk in the open .ww format, documented publicly and readable as text. No account is needed to run the CAD, and it works with the shop internet down.
A subscription cannot offer this — the moment you stop paying, the drawings of jobs you built stop opening. That's not a pricing difference, it's a different deal.

True-shape nesting with grain lock. On the seven-cabinet sample kitchen the optimizer's search takes 8 sheets down to 7. One kitchen, measured; open it in the app and re-run it.
Rails and stiles are parametric and editable to 1/32", so cabinets come out the way your shop builds them rather than the way the software assumes. 1,199 finishes ship built in.
Three things, and they're real. If we skipped them you'd be right not to trust anything above.
Machines. Their post-processor library covers 175+ machine brands and ours ships eight, checked in a simulator — no WoodWright program has been cut on a real machine yet. If your CNC is in production today, that outweighs the price.
Track record. Mozaik has been run daily by shops for years. WoodWright went public in September 2026 and has no third-party reviews, because it hasn't earned any yet.
Support. Their paid training is a real service. We have a form and a person who reads it.
Every subscription has the same shape: your work lives inside software you have to keep paying for. Stop paying and the files stop opening.

That is the only test worth running. Build a kitchen you have already built, compare the cut list to what you actually cut, and see whether it holds. It costs you an afternoon and nothing else — no card, no trial clock, no salesperson, and no three-month paid trial that converts to a year.
Worth knowing before you do: if your CNC is in production today, run a program on scrap before you trust it with a sheet.
