What data tools cost to run
11 tools in this category publish a monthly price. The median is $40, from $10 to $299. What follows is what the model underneath would cost at four shapes of work, and what that leaves for everything the company actually built.
One person using an assistant through a working day.
The median seat, $40, on the light workload
The same seat price, the same work, three model choices. Nothing about the product changed between those rows. That gap is the reason to ask a vendor which model is underneath and whether it can change without telling you.

A model, not an audit. We do not know which model any of these run on or how much work a seat does, and the figures exclude caching, batching and volume discounts, all of which push a real bill down.
