The following outlines the pricing model for the Parallels Desktop 15 for Mac package: In addition, users who have an existing license don’t have to pay the entire cost of a new license when upgrading to a new plan. First of all, you have a smattering of package options to choose from, so you can get exactly what you need without overpaying for extra features you don’t want. Though that may seem pretty contrived, I actually like how flexible it is for several reasons. Whether you want a 1-year subscription or a 1-time purchase.

Whether you want a new license or you want to upgrade an existing license.

Which version you want (Desktop 15 for Mac, Desktop 15 Pro for Mac, or Business Edition).

The price you pay is determined by a variety of features including the following: Parallel’s pricing model is rather complex. With that out of the way, let’s take a closer look at these two cool virtualization solutions. Having said that, I will be as objective as possible to remove any bias.

Parallels is better suited for casual users, whereas VMware Fusion is best suited for technical users.Parallels is slightly faster in our speed tests compared to the slower VMware Fusion.VMware Fusion offers deeper customization and integration features, whereas Parallels is easier to set up out of the box.But it doesn't officially support Windows in any capacity-on Apple Silicon Macs, it supports macOS and Linux VMs. In recent macOS versions, Apple has been building its own virtualization framework, and independent developers have used it to create lightweight, free virtualization software without the cost or complexity of Parallels or VMware. This is a bit more flexibility than Mac developers have-if a Mac app has any x86-only dependencies or plugins that needs to be run within the host process, the whole app needs to be started in x86 mode, even if the rest of the app is Apple Silicon-native. Windows includes its own Rosetta-like x86-to-Arm translation, and Windows 11 improved it by allowing it to run 64-bit x86 apps and by letting developers ship apps that use a mix of Arm and x86 code. Running the Arm version of Windows will let you run most non-3D Windows apps, regardless of whether they were written to run on Arm or x86 processors. VMware provides some basic documentation for testers hoping to kick the tires of this new build, but it's worth noting that Parallels can at least offer to download Windows for you automatically.

VMware also includes a basic 2D graphics driver so that the Windows desktop can be rendered properly on high-resolution displays, plus a basic networking driver. To meet Windows 11's TPM requirement, the software creates an encrypted file that is used to store the same kinds of data that an actual TPM would store on a real PC. VMware's blog post details some of the changes they've made to support Windows 11, many of which parallel the work that Parallels has done. Parallels Desktop 17 will run the Arm version of Windows 11 inside a virtual machine, and yesterday VMware released a beta version of VMware Fusion 12 that can do the same thing. But the ability to run Windows and Windows apps, either directly on the hardware via Boot Camp or via a virtual machine, still isn't officially supported.īut makers of paid virtualization software have been working to close that gap. The transition from Intel to Apple Silicon Macs has gone smoothly for most software, thanks to the Rosetta 2 compatibility software and app developers who have quickly added Apple Silicon support to their software.
