Two ways to get access, one of them free
Buy UPPF paint protection film and redeem the roll number for complimentary cutting access, or take a monthly or yearly plan for unlimited cuts on any film brand. Every plan starts with a 14 day trial.
Defaults assume a 19 foot full front kit and 40 minutes saved per car at a $95 loaded shop rate. Change anything that does not match your bay.
That is the number a pattern subscription has to beat. For most shops it is not close, and if you buy UPPF film the software is free anyway.
The three routes, side by side
Current monthly and yearly rates are shown at checkout. Call +1 (832) 786-3388 if you want the number before you click through, or if you are pricing a multi bay shop.

Pricing questions
Yes. Each UPPF paint protection film roll includes a unique roll number that you redeem for complimentary cutting access for that job. No subscription and no card required. A paid plan is only needed if you want unlimited cuts across any film brand without buying UPPF film.
Yes. Cancel from your account with no penalty or cancellation fee. Access continues to the end of the billing period you already paid for.
The yearly plan includes two months free compared to paying month to month, and it locks your rate for the year. It is the right choice once you are cutting weekly.
No. Every plan includes unlimited cuts. Cut the same vehicle ten times in a week and the price does not change.
Based on publicly available information as of August 2026, CORE is commonly quoted around $400 per month at the top tier, 3M Pattern Marketplace around $180 per month, and XPEL DAP roughly $200 per month with an XPEL dealership required. ULTRAFILMCUT is positioned below those, with unlimited cuts and no dealer requirement. Confirm current rates with each vendor before making a decision.
No. Request a trial code and install. You only enter payment details if you choose to continue after the 14 days.
