Transparent Pricing for Semi-State Bodies
Clear, predictable costs for organisations balancing commercial mandates with public accountability. The same pricing for every semi-state body, because hybrid public-private governance demands transparency in every procurement decision.
Semi-state bodies operate under unique pressures: commercial targets, public oversight, and regulatory obligations that span both sectors. Your procurement decisions face scrutiny from boards, ministers, and the public alike.
That's why we publish our pricing openly. Every semi-state organisation 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 enterprise technology. Transparency is good policy. Research shows open procurement practices increase competition, reduce costs by 8%, and improve market fairness. We believe semi-state bodies should benefit from the same transparency they're expected to provide to their stakeholders and the public.

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 data source emerges? When a new AI model outperforms those on your vendor's list?
Operational Systems
Connect any asset management, workforce, SCADA, or operational technology system your organisation uses
What This Means For Your Budget
- No surprise integration invoices
- No per-connector licensing fees
- No "premium connector" tiers
- No metered API costs
- No limits on data volume transferred
Connect any system with an API. We provide connector development, configuration, and maintenance at no additional cost.

What's Never Extra

Our Commitment to Pricing Transparency
These are promises we make to every semi-state body.

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 team members without incurring additional licence fees. Your entire organisation operates under a single capacity tier rather than paying per-user fees that punish growth.
All tiers include the ability to connect to any system with an API, including your ERP, asset management, SCADA, workforce management, compliance platforms, 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 programmes and proof-of-concept deployments. All configurations, data, and customisations transfer seamlessly when you upgrade to a higher tier. Many semi-state bodies start with a focused pilot before expanding across the organisation.
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 operational capabilities without budgetary uncertainty.
Our pricing structure is designed for compatibility with EU public procurement directives and national procurement frameworks. We provide all documentation needed for tender submissions and business case preparation, and can structure payment terms to align with public body budgetary cycles and approval processes.
Our published tier pricing is consistent for all semi-state bodies as part of our transparency commitment. However, multi-year commitments and multi-entity 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 50GB), administrator and operator 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.
Semi-state bodies purchasing through group procurement or shared services arrangements receive volume discounts: 5% for 2-5 entities, 10% for 6-10 entities, and custom arrangements for larger groups. All discounts apply to the published tier pricing. We don't inflate prices before applying discounts.
