What does DNC software for Fanuc shops actually cost?
Short answer: priced per shop, not per machine or per seat. Here's exactly what goes into a quote — and a form below that gets you one today.
Why we don't publish one number
Most DNC vendors either hide pricing behind a "contact sales" wall with no explanation, or publish a per-seat number that's wrong for almost every real shop. We do neither: pricing is per shop, and the same day you tell us your setup, you get an actual number — not a range, not a call you have to book first.
What changes your quote
- How many machines you're connecting — one PC handles up to ~25.
- The mix of legacy RS232 Fanucs (need a converter) vs Ethernet/FTP-capable controls (need none).
- Whether you want us to help source and set up the serial-to-Ethernet converters, or you're supplying your own.
- Nothing else. No per-user seats, no per-module add-ons, no support tiers.
How it compares to per-seat DNC suites
CIMCO DNC-Max and Predator DNC license per port or per module, so the bill climbs as your floor grows. ElectronIx DNC is a flat per-shop price with everything included — see the full feature-by-feature comparison against CIMCO, NCnet, and Predator.

Price questions
Why isn't there a price list on the site?
Because the honest number depends on your shop: how many machines, how many are legacy RS232 vs Ethernet-ready, and whether you need converter hardware sourced. A one-machine job shop and a 20-machine plant shouldn't pay the same figure, so we quote per shop instead of publishing one number that's wrong for almost everyone.
Is it a monthly subscription?
No. It's a one-time cost per shop for the software, everything included — no recurring per-seat or per-machine fees layered on top later.
Does the price go up as I add machines?
One license covers your shop's ElectronIx DNC install, handling ~25 machines from a single PC — it's not metered per CNC. Your quote is sized to your shop when you buy, not billed machine by machine afterward.
How does this compare to CIMCO or Predator DNC pricing?
CIMCO DNC-Max and Predator DNC are typically licensed per port or per module, which adds up fast past a handful of machines. ElectronIx DNC is flat per shop — see the full breakdown on the comparison page.
What's included at that price?
All features, updates within your version, local install on your own PC, and email support. No tiered plans to choose between and no add-ons to upsell later.
