Status
Avo 4 is functionally ready. If you can live with a few minor UI inconsistencies, it's solid enough to use today. The main known rough edge is searchable associations — we need to replace the legacy search.js plugin, and it currently looks rough in dark mode.

Pricing
We haven't finalized Avo 4 pricing yet. We've added so many new features and modules that our current bundle structure no longer makes sense — so we're rethinking it.
We'll share details once we have something concrete.
In the meantime, Pro/Advanced tiers and gems remain in place through the open beta.
Note
During the beta, all gems are available to try regardless of your subscription tier — including if you're not subscribed at all.
Once we release the new pricing you'll need to switch to a paid license to keep using them.
