What Dota Plus is and what it costs
Dota Plus is Valve's official subscription: hero statistics, build recommendations (build assistant), chat wheel, guild bonuses. Billed monthly. With Unlocker all these features are active without a subscription.
| Dota Plus subscription | Duration | Steam price |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 1 month | ~$3.99 |
| 3 months | 3 months | ~$9.99 |
| 6 months | 6 months | ~$17.99 |
With Unlocker all of this is free — plus you get Maphack, scripts and Skin Changer on top. An Umbrella 30-day plan costs less than one month of Dota Plus.
How to enable Unlocker
