Transparent Pricing That Respects Public Budgets
Clear, predictable costs with no hidden fees. The same pricing for every agency, because public servants deserve honesty about where taxpayer dollars go.
Public safety budgets are tight. Procurement decisions are scrutinized. And agencies deserve to know exactly what they're paying for before they commit.
That's why we publish our pricing openly. Every agency sees the same numbers. No opaque "custom quotes" that vary based on negotiating leverage. No surprise invoices after implementation. No escalating fees that blow through approved budgets.
This approach is uncommon in government technology. Transparency is good policy. Research shows open procurement practices increase competition, reduce costs by 8%, and improve market fairness. We believe government agencies should benefit from the same transparency they're expected to provide citizens.

Open Integration Architecture, Connect Everything
We don't limit you to a fixed list. If it has an API, Argus connects to it.
Our Integration Philosophy
Traditional vendors market "X integrations" as a feature. We think that's the wrong approach. The moment you commit to a fixed list, you've created a limitation. What happens when a better intelligence source emerges? When a new AI model outperforms those on your vendor's list?
Law Enforcement Systems
Connect any CAD, RMS, ALPR, or evidence system your agency uses
What This Means For Your Budget
- No surprise integration invoices
- No per-connector licensing fees
- No "premium connector" tiers
- No metered API costs

Our Commitment to Pricing Transparency
These are promises we make to every agency.
Published Pricing
All pricing tiers and structures are published openly. No "contact sales for pricing" on standard offerings.

Every potential cost is disclosed upfront. Implementation services are quoted in writing before work begins.

The same base pricing for every agency. We don't charge more because you have a bigger budget.

Export your data at any time at no charge. It's your intelligence, we're the stewards.
Fair Exit Terms
Clear, fair exit provisions. We earn continued business through value, not contractual lock-in.
Frequently Asked Questions
Instead of charging per user or per seat, we base pricing on platform capacity, including active cases, storage, and concurrent users. This means you can add investigators without incurring additional license fees. Your entire department operates under a single capacity tier rather than paying per-officer fees that punish growth.
All tiers include the ability to connect to any system with an API, including your CAD, RMS, ALPR, evidence management, intelligence providers, AI models, and more. We provide connector development, configuration, and ongoing maintenance at no additional cost. Our open architecture means you're never limited to a fixed list of "supported" integrations.
Yes. Our Starter tier is designed specifically for pilot programs and proof-of-concept deployments. All configurations, data, and customizations transfer seamlessly when you upgrade to a higher tier. Many agencies start with a focused pilot before expanding across the department.
It doesn't change based on user count alone. Our capacity-based model means adding users within your tier's limits has no cost impact. You only consider upgrading when you need more active cases, storage, or concurrent users. This lets you expand investigative capabilities without budgetary uncertainty.
Our pricing structure is designed for compatibility with JAG, COPS, DHS, and other federal grant programs. We provide all documentation needed for grant applications and can structure payment terms to align with grant disbursement schedules. Many agencies have successfully used grant funding to implement Argus.
Our published tier pricing is consistent for all agencies as part of our transparency commitment. However, multi-year commitments and multi-agency purchases qualify for published discount tiers. Implementation services for complex deployments are quoted based on actual scope.
Annual subscriptions include a standard implementation package: platform configuration, user setup, SSO integration, initial data migration (up to 100GB), administrator and investigator training, and two weeks of go-live support. Enhanced implementation for complex deployments, including on-site deployment, custom integrations, and change management, is quoted separately.
Agencies purchasing through cooperative purchasing agreements or on behalf of multiple departments receive volume discounts: 5% for 2-5 agencies, 10% for 6-10 agencies, and custom arrangements for larger consortiums. All discounts apply to the published tier pricing. We don't inflate prices before applying discounts.
