Most AI governance platforms sell annual contracts in the low-to-mid five figures for mid-market and six figures for enterprise. Here is what we can verify from public sources.
Last updated April 21, 2026 · Every fact traceable to a public source
AI governance platform pricing is opaque. Our policy is ranges only, never point estimates, and every range must cite a public source. The cost page at /cost lists the sources we rely on; the calculator at /cost/calculator lets you model Year 1 spend.
Most AI governance platforms do not publish pricing. Vendors use contract value, seat count, and compliance-framework scope to build quotes. We refuse to publish a single number we cannot verify — instead we collect public reference points (earnings calls, Gartner Peer Insights, RFP responses, G2 reviews) and express them as ranges.
Five factors: (1) number of AI systems covered, (2) number of users/seats with governance roles, (3) frameworks in scope (EU AI Act adds the most), (4) whether red-teaming and continuous monitoring are included, and (5) SOC 2 Type II or ISO 27001 audit-support requirements. Enterprise deals with multiple frameworks typically land in the six figures annually.
Published pricing is rare — most of the category is enterprise-sales only. From our directory, vendors with at least some public signal include: 2021.AI (tiered · starts $15); BABL AI (contact_only); BigID (enterprise); CalypsoAI (contact_only); Citrusˣ (contact_only); Collibra AI Governance (contact_only); Cranium (tiered); Credo AI (contact_only); DataRobot (contact_only); Dataiku Govern (enterprise); Drata (contact_only); Enzai (contact_only). Always verify current pricing on the vendor's own site; we timestamp every verification.
Our cost calculator at /cost/calculator uses source-cited ranges to estimate Year 1 spend across EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and ISO/IEC 42001 programs. It distinguishes platform cost, audit cost, and internal labor. There is no email gate and no affiliate links.
