Transparent Pricing for State Bodies
Clear, predictable costs with no hidden fees. The same pricing for every state organisation, because public funds deserve full transparency and accountability.
State body budgets are publicly funded and publicly scrutinised. Procurement decisions must withstand audit. And state organisations deserve to know exactly what they're paying for before they commit.
That's why we publish our pricing openly. Every state body sees the same numbers. No opaque "custom quotes" that vary based on negotiating leverage. No surprise invoices after implementation. No escalating fees that exceed approved expenditure.
This approach is uncommon in government technology. Transparency is good governance. Open procurement practices increase competition, reduce costs, and improve public accountability. We believe state bodies should benefit from the same transparency they're expected to provide citizens.
Built Around Your Budget Reality
Pricing designed for how state bodies actually operate, not how vendors wish they did.
No Per-Seat Licensing
Add staff members and departmental users without adding invoices. Your success expanding capabilities shouldn't trigger billing alerts.
Integrations Included
Connecting your existing departmental systems, records management, and compliance platforms shouldn't require separate contracts. We want you to connect everything.
Predictable AI Processing
Run as many analyses as your operations require without calculating cost-per-inference. Budget certainty matters for public funds.
Multi-Year Budget Protection
Lock in rates for your full contract term. No automatic escalators. No "market rate adjustments." Predictable for multi-annual budgeting.

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 new departmental system is adopted? When a better data source emerges?
Government Systems
Connect any departmental, records management, or citizen services system
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.

Our Commitment to Pricing Transparency
These are promises we make to every state body.
Published Pricing
All pricing tiers and structures are published openly. No "contact sales for pricing" on standard offerings.
No Hidden Fees
Every potential cost is disclosed upfront. Implementation services are quoted in writing before work begins.
No Discriminatory Pricing
The same base pricing for every state body. We don't charge more because you have a bigger budget allocation.
Rate Lock Guarantee
Contract prices are locked for the full term. No automatic escalators, no "market adjustments."
Data Portability
Export your data at any time at no charge. It's public data, 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 staff members and departmental users 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 records management, case management, citizen services, 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 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.
Our pricing structure is designed for compatibility with public procurement frameworks. We provide all documentation needed for tender processes and can structure payment terms to align with government fiscal cycles.
Our published tier pricing is consistent for all state bodies as part of our transparency commitment. However, multi-year commitments and multi-department 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 user training, and two weeks of go-live support. Enhanced implementation for complex deployments is quoted separately.
State bodies purchasing across multiple departments or agencies receive volume discounts: 5% for 2-5 departments, 10% for 6-10 departments, and custom arrangements for larger groups. All discounts apply to the published tier pricing.
