## Facts

- Also sell CorelDRAW AM.CO.ZA editions that still support AM plugins: **S-CORELDRAW/ESS** Essentials 2021 (quoted R1,699) and **S-CORELDRAW/SUITE** Graphics Suite 2019 (quoted R2,399). Current Corel 2024 list price cited as R12,300.
- Graphics Suite 2019 is the full-feature family; Essentials 2021 is the last Essentials that still supports plugins.
