Version 9 paid upgrade?

Saw the post about the compatibility of RW 8.7 on Big Sur/M1 apple chips.
There was mention of the version 9 that’ll work with both intel and apple chips but my question (and maybe a d**b question) but will this be a paid upgrade?

Most major updates like that are paid, which makes total sense, IMHO.

Hi, RapidWeaver 8 was released in August 2018. All updates in-between have been free and so I am sure this will be a paid upgrade. For me, I am happy to pay the upgrade fee to keep the product evolving and my business intact :slight_smile:

That’s what I figured.
