Quoted per customer; the licensing model was preserved through the change of owner
No genuine dollar pricing is published. The vendor's package-comparison page lists four tiers: Community Edition (free, open-source, self-hosted), Growth (SaaS, shown only as "Starting at $0 Annually" with a free-trial CTA — no real recurring price disclosed), Advanced and Premium (both "Call for a quote"). No billing unit (per user, per SKU, per asset, per GB) is stated anywhere on the site for the paid tiers.

It changed hands in March 2026, so anything written before that date describes it as an Extensis product
Not checked
Three plans are named and none is priced on the pricing page
