No. The Layar Reality Browser is a free mobile application, available from both Android Market and iTunes App Store.

Within the Layar Reality Browser, you can find thousands of layers to choose from the Layar catalog. Layers can be either free or paid, although the vast majority are free. When using a free layer, there are no additional costs. When using a paid layer, you need to purchase the layer prior to using it. Once you have paid for a layer, you can use it as many times as you wish and there are no recurring costs.

Anyone can create a layer, and there are no costs to create a free layer. If you are interested in creating a layar, please visit devsupport.layar.com
