The short version

  • Each has a real cost: exactEarth exactEarth's own homepage, as captured by the Internet Archive on 28 December 2021, carried a banner stating: 'We are happy to announce that exactEarth is now part of Spire Global,' confirming in the vendor's own words that exactEarth was absorbed into Spire (now sold as Kpler's spireMT product); no independent exactEarth pricing survives; OpenLink Endur openLink Endur (an ETRM/CTRM platform, now part of ION Group's OpenLink brand) is sold only through named enterprise license agreements with individual utilities and trading firms, confirmed by a chain of dated press releases announcing signed licenses (DTE Energy, Barclays Capital, RWE Trading Americas, Petrobras and others), none of which disclose a price; ION's current careers pages still list dedicated Endur and Findur implementation consultant roles, confirming the product line is separate from and sold alongside sibling products IRM, RightAngle and dbcSMARTsoft rather than as one unified suite (archived press release, 16 April 2015)
