The short version
- Each has a real cost: American Legal Publishing a 2019 recodification contract between American Legal Publishing Corporation and the City of Dry Ridge, Kentucky, publicly posted by a separate Kentucky municipality as a model agreement, sets a base codification cost of $9,485 (USD) plus per-page increase rates of $18 (single column) and $21 (dual column) once the code exceeds the estimated page count, a one-time $550 setup fee to put the code in a searchable online format, $495 per year to host the code online after that, and a five-year supplement plan billed at $18-21 per reprinted page plus $200 per annual statutory update. This is one specific signed municipal contract, not a general price list, and actual costs for other municipalities will scale with code length.; Oracle Government Cloud oracle publishes a separate US Public Sector part number detail list and a Managed Services for US/DoD Government list, so commercial price lists do not apply to government buyers
- They diverge on capability: American Legal Publishing covers Code Codification, Oracle Government Cloud covers Cloud Infrastructure.
