Chimera Tool currently offers three main license levels: Basic, Professional and Premium. Each license is designed for a different type of user. Basic is for beginners or low-volume technicians, Professional is for active repair shops and serious GSM technicians, and Premium is for high-volume businesses that need maximum limits, priority support and the most complete access.
If you are just starting and only connect a small number of phones, choose Chimera Basic. If you run a repair shop and use Chimera regularly, choose Chimera Professional. If you work with many devices, multiple computers and need priority support, choose Chimera Premium.
Chimera Basic is the entry-level license. It costs $89.9 per year or 899 Chimera credits. It includes up to 100 phone connections per year, support for more than 30 mobile brands, 8 computer slots per year, 10 free IMEI Blacklist checks and 10 free Samsung Managed Locks checks. Basic does not include additional procedure credits, does not support Chimera USB Authenticator and does not include priority customer support.
Choose Chimera Basic if you are a beginner, independent technician or small repair shop with low device volume. It is suitable if you only need Chimera from time to time and do not connect many phones every month. Basic is the cheapest way to start using Chimera Tool, but it is not the best option for high-volume service work.
Chimera Professional costs $134.9 per year. It includes up to 1,500 phone connections, 24 computer slots per year, 50 free IMEI Blacklist checks, 50 free Samsung Managed Locks checks, Chimera USB Authenticator support and renewal bonus of 100 CRD plus 2 extra weeks of validity. It is designed for experienced technicians and repair shops that use Chimera Tool regularly.
Choose Chimera Professional if you run a repair shop, work with phones every day or regularly perform Samsung, Xiaomi, Qualcomm, MTK, FRP, firmware and service procedures. For most serious GSM technicians, Professional is the best balance between price, limits and features.
Chimera Basic includes up to 100 phone connections per year. Chimera Professional includes up to 1,500 phone connections per year. Chimera Premium includes up to 5,000 phone connections per year. If you work with many devices, the phone connection limit is one of the most important factors when choosing your license.
Chimera Basic can be attached to 8 different computers per year, with 2 different computers per quarter. Chimera Professional can be attached to 24 different computers per year, with 6 different computers per quarter. Chimera Premium can be attached to 32 different computers per year, with 8 different computers per quarter. If you work from multiple PCs or have several technicians, Professional or Premium is a better choice.
Chimera Basic includes 10 free IMEI Blacklist checks and 10 free Samsung Managed Locks checks. Chimera Professional includes 50 free IMEI Blacklist checks and 50 free Samsung Managed Locks checks. Chimera Premium includes 100 free IMEI Blacklist checks and 100 free Samsung Managed Locks checks.
Chimera Basic does not support Chimera USB Authenticator. Chimera Professional and Chimera Premium support Chimera USB Authenticator. If USB Authenticator support is important for your workflow, you should choose Professional or Premium.
Priority customer support is included with Chimera Premium. Basic does not include priority support, and Professional is positioned for serious daily use but Premium is the better option if support speed is important for your business.
For beginners, Chimera Basic is usually enough. It gives access to Chimera Tool at the lowest price and is suitable for learning, small service volume and occasional phone servicing. However, if you expect to work with many devices, starting with Professional may be smarter.
For most repair shops, Chimera Professional is the best choice. It gives a much higher phone connection limit than Basic, supports USB Authenticator, includes more free checks and is suitable for daily Samsung, Xiaomi, Qualcomm, MTK and Android service work.
For high-volume GSM businesses, Chimera Premium is the best option. It provides the highest phone connection limit, more computer slots, more included checks, priority support and the most complete package for serious service centers.
Buy Chimera Basic if you need the cheapest license for low-volume work. Buy Chimera Professional if you are a repair shop or active technician and want the best balance. Buy Chimera Premium if you handle many devices, use multiple computers, need priority support and want the strongest Chimera package.
For most GSM technicians and repair shops, Chimera Professional is the best choice because it offers the best balance between price, limits and features. Choose Basic only if your volume is low. Choose Premium if you need maximum phone connections, more computer slots, more included checks and priority support.
