Hydrological contract pricing
Setup is priced per catchment by drainage area; the annual subscription is 45% of setup and covers monthly performance reports, infrastructure and model upkeep. Published in full — you do not need to request a quote to compare us.
| Band | Catchment area | Deterministic | Ensemble |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | ≤ 2,000 km² | €6,000 setup + €2,700/yr | €12,000 setup + €5,400/yr |
| B | 2,000–10,000 km² | €9,000 setup + €4,050/yr | €18,000 setup + €8,100/yr |
| C | 10,000–50,000 km² | €13,200 setup + €5,940/yr | €26,400 setup + €11,880/yr |
| D | > 50,000 km² | Custom quote | Custom quote |
Pilot pricing — first 10 catchments
The first 10 catchments we take on, anywhere in the world, are priced at 50% of both setup and subscription. This is a launch pilot with a hard cap, not a discount to negotiate: once the 10 are allocated, list pricing applies. A Band C ensemble catchment at pilot pricing is €13,200 setup + €5,940/yr.
No upfront setup — 3-year contract
Public buyers who cannot raise capital expenditure can fold setup into a three-year contract: setup ÷ 3 plus the annual subscription, billed yearly. For the Band C ensemble pilot above, that is €10,340/yr for three years.
