ESRI ArcGIS Pricing

Their pricing model is not complex. I have a personal account, which costs me £110 a year for a personal, no-commercial-use account, which is fantastic because it opens it up to anybody who wants to learn about GIS and all their technologies.

Regarding commercial use, ArcGIS Enterprise is based on users, what tools you require, and what types of analysis you're gonna do. The price can range between £10,000 and £100,000. You don't have to buy the whole lot. You can just pick what you want. To use ArcGIS Pro, it's only about £100 per basic user. However, you don't get toolboxes. The toolboxes are the added value.

There are additional costs, such as training. The cost is variable. You can attend training courses put on by ESRI, and they vary from £600 to several thousand pounds, where you go away for several days to be trained on various aspects, whether there's software or the topic of GIS. They can do training days, free training, and online training. You could fly to America for a training course.

You can get expert technical help. When you buy your licensing, you can get maintenance, and you get different maintenance levels. The higher the maintenance level you go, you get so many hours of support per year. That support could be them logging in to your network to fix your server. Alternatively, it could be that you can't get a layer to load, and somebody helps you. That's another variable. It can go from £1,000 to £100,000 a year.

The product for desktop is purchased and we pay for the maintenance of the product and that is all. There are no additional costs for technical support which are included in the maintenance fees. The fee structure for the online product will be different.

It is a versatile tool. It is easy to adapt and is economically profitable.
