This is Skimp - ultra-fast import and polygon simplification for SketchUp - on an annual subscription instead of the one-time perpetual licence. Same tool, same features, lower cost up front.
You get the full toolset: import for FBX, OBJ, STL, DAE, 3DS, DXF, VRML and PLY with preview, scale and orientation control; metric-based simplification that keeps materials, UVs, normals and hierarchy; and in-place simplification of groups and components already in your model. PC and Mac.
The subscription renews annually unless cancelled in your account. If Skimp is a permanent part of your toolkit, compare the one-time Skimp Licence - it usually wins over the long run.
Full Skimp, nothing held back
Feature-identical to the perpetual licence - the same import formats, the same simplification engine, the same preview workflow.
Lower cost of entry
A fraction of the licence price per year - the right shape when Skimp is for one project, one team member's trial run, or a budget cycle that prefers opex.
Cancel any time
Cancel before renewal from your account and the subscription simply doesn't renew.
Skimp Subscription FAQs
Is the subscription version missing anything?
No - it's the identical tool. The only difference is how you pay.
Subscription or perpetual licence?
Short-term or trying it out: subscription. Daily driver for years: the perpetual licence costs more once and then never again. See the Skimp Licence, or ask us to do the arithmetic.
Does it renew automatically?
Yes - annually, unless cancelled in your account before the renewal date.
Do I need SketchUp Pro to run it?
Yes - extensions run in the SketchUp desktop app, so you need Pro or Studio. PC and Mac both work.
