Regarding my experience with pricing, setup costs, and licensing for DataRobot, the licensing model does not follow the pay-per-user model typical of SaaS tools. Instead, it is divided into two parts. The annual platform license ranges from around $100,000 to $500,000, typically starting at $100,000 per year for small teams with one to two users. This scales based on the number of users, models in production, and the support tier chosen. Enterprise deals can exceed $1 million per year for teams with over 100 users. As for setup costs, setting up the SaaS public cloud generally takes one to two weeks, with DataRobot handling most of the work, so your cost primarily is for the license. If you go for the on-premise or private cloud setup on AWS, you are looking at additional infrastructure setup and implementation costs over time. DataRobot also offers quick start services at a cost of approximately $25,000 to $75,000 to get you live, connect to your data sources, and train in just three to five weeks.
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing reveals that the price points can be improved and DataRobot is not so cost-effective, especially for smaller organizations.
While pricing falls more under my IT colleagues, from my perspective, the overall experience feels justified. The premium pricing is reasonable for the value provided, and I'd say it's worth the investment. The setup cost was minimal because it's cloud-hosted, eliminating the need for heavy on-premises infrastructure, allowing us to start using it immediately after purchase.

The price of DataRobot is good because if you take the price of the solution which is approximately $65,000, it is less than a data scientist. There are very few data scientists available.

We dropped the plan to use DataRobot because we found the pricing to be on the higher side. We liked DataRobot a lot, but due to the pricing, we dropped that idea.
