LeanIX pricing ranges from moderate to high. Our usage and costs depend on the number of applications, and as the number of applications grows, so does the cost. We have aligned our usage with application optimization to manage costs effectively.
My experience with pricing is not directly known, as it was handled by others, but it is subscription-based. The tool was part of the RISE license in a previous project.

LeanIX is associated with high costs. It cost me $91,000 a year for 300 applications. For any enterprise, 300 applications are minimal, as many have well over 1,000 applications. The first pricing tier, which includes 300 applications, is considered a joke given its cost.
LeanIX uses application-based account licensing, where the cost is multiplied by the number of applications in the software implementation. Essential Docker offers unlimited users and limited applications, along with three repositories. In our experience, it's more cost-effective than LeanIX. I don't have the latest pricing model. For Essential Docker, we paid $19,000 (USD) a couple of years back. And LeanIX was about the same price back then.
LeanIX licensing is calculated per application count; hence the cost will need to be assessed upfront while keeping in mind that the M&A or business strategy changes/roadmaps must be anticipated for the next few years.
The tool needs to include more flexible licensing options. We do not use the tool all the time. So pricing should be considered only when we use the tool.

There is a sweet spot of where they need to be on pricing right now. They could go up a little bit in pricing, but it has to do with the cost savings, and it has to do with the practitioners using it. I use it where I get cost savings and I can justify it, but they probably have the ability to flex a 10% up channel on their sales on that. So, they could increase their settle price, not their offering price, when they sell. They can probably hold that up a little bit higher than it is because there are cost savings that we can drive from it.
The solution's pricing is based on a licensing model that is competitive and in line with other products. I rate pricing a ten out of ten because there is good value.

There are two pricing models. One is based on the number of what they call Fact Sheets, which are a representation of the things in your company, such as applications, technologies, and business capabilities. They are like a profile for each entity that you want to bring in and pricing is based on the number of those entities that you bring in. That's what we purchased. They introduced another pricing model based only on the number of applications that you bring in. In the first model, they give you fewer capabilities in the package, but you can use it for a larger number of entities. In the other offering, they give you more capabilities, maybe even way more capabilities, but you need to form your information in a way that you are conscious of how many applications you put in. The second way of doing things is very new. It was introduced a couple of months ago. When I looked at it for our use, it was not going to give us too much benefit. First of all, we were set up, and all our agreements were made based on a different licensing model. If we were to go back and remodel things, it would be a big effort so we decided not to go with it. We decided to stay with the pricing model that they had originally, based on the number of building blocks, not just applications.

The pricing is a bit painful in the sense that it depends on the number of elements you fit in the system. The price can be expensive if you use it a lot. It will cost you compared to other solutions if you have a lot of documentation. It's hard to predict the pricing of the system.

The pricing is very good. We definitely get good value for the money.

In terms of pricing, it's cheap. I would rate the pricing a one out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive.
