The short version

  • Only AGI STK has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: AGI STK sTK is sold as a ladder of separate licences, STK Pro, STK Premium Air, STK Premium Space and STK Enterprise, so mission areas are gated behind different products; AMOS pricing is by quote only, with no rate, minimum or named cost driver published; the routes to a price are ordering a brochure or booking a live demo through a contact form
  • They diverge on capability: AGI STK covers Orbit analysis, AMOS covers Maintenance planning.
