SAMSON Extensions

Free forever for academic & nonprofit non-commercial use.
SAMSON and all SAMSON Extensions are free for non-commercial use.
This includes extensions for docking, simulating, animating, scripting, etc.

Most features run locally for free. Some optional calculations run in the cloud,
such as structure prediction and cloud simulations, and require computing credits.


Commercial plans start with a free 30-day trial of the Expert plan.
No credit card required to start. Subscribe anytime. Cancel anytime.
