The pricing of MetaDefender is about hundreds of dollars. If I remember correctly, when someone attempted to buy from us one instance of OPSWAT, it was about nine thousand dollars for multi-scanning with eight engines and also the CDR module. The pricing is good, but when you add additional engines, this is what causes most people not to use additional features. Every additional engine, not about scanning engines but other engines such as file-based vulnerabilities and so forth, requires another license. If customers could buy in one price the basic package, which includes CDR and multi-scanning, in one price, many people would prefer to do it. However, when it is necessary to pay for every single engine or single feature, I believe most customers do not want to use it for that reason.

We bought a three-year license, and that was pretty expensive. We agreed that it was really worth buying. It could be cheaper, but we understand that quality comes at a price. We bought three ICAP servers and three MetaDefender cores for three years, and that cost about 600,000 PLN (about $145,000). Support is included in the price, and the support is great. We didn't need any custom modifications or deployments.

According to our customers, the price of MetaDefender is high and it continues to increase by almost 15 percent each year.
