Title: ShotGrid Free Tier is gone – here’s what to use instead Just a heads-up for anyone searching: Autodesk killed the free “ShotGrid (Shotgun) Free” plan back in 2021. You can only get a 30-day trial now. If you need a free production tracking system for indie VFX/games, check out: • Kitsu (open source, free tier available) • Ftrack (limited free tier) • Tactic (now part of Southpaw, open source legacy) Don't waste time looking for a ShotGrid free license – it doesn’t exist anymore. Option 2: For LinkedIn or professional update (Short & clean) 🚫 No more "ShotGrid Free" – but here’s your next best option. Autodesk has fully moved ShotGrid to subscription-only. Students can get a free educational license via the Autodesk Education Community, but commercial free tier is gone. ✅ Best free alternative today: Kitsu (CGWire) – open source, production-ready, and free for small teams. #ShotGrid #VFX #Pipeline #ProductionTracking Option 3: Casual post (Instagram/Twitter/Threads) Searching for “ShotGrid free”? 👀 You’re gonna be disappointed – it’s not a thing anymore. Autodesk pulled the free plan a while back. But don’t panic. For indie animators & small VFX teams, Kitsu or the open-source Tactic (old but gold) still work great. Or grab the 30-day ShotGrid trial if you just need to test. Free tracking is still possible – just not with ShotGrid. 🎬 Option 4: For a student or beginner (Helpful tone) Can you get ShotGrid for free? Short answer: Not anymore (unless you’re a student). Long answer: Autodesk offers ShotGrid free for students & educators through their Education Community. You get a 1-year renewable license. For non-students: 30-day free trial only. Want a truly free production tracker? Look at Kitsu (cloud) or Tactic (self-hosted).
