Maya costs $225/month or $1,785/year, making it unattainable for most beginners and individual artists. Even the Indie plan at $305/year has strict revenue limitations. Many freelancers paying $1000+ annually question the value compared to free alternatives like Blender.
Some companies that initially bought Maya felt it was expensive and shifted toward Blender, which offers nearly all needed features for free. The value proposition increasingly favors free alternatives.
Beyond the subscription, keeping Maya updated to the latest version adds costs. Users feel nickel-and-dimed compared to Blender, which provides all updates free. The total cost of ownership exceeds the base subscription.
