The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Fluence Energy Management no published pricing tiers or rate cards available; Novity novity is a small venture-backed company with a strategic investor rather than a profitable business, so continuity risk is real and the Tokyo Gas investment signals a likely eventual acquisition that would reset the roadmap.
  • They diverge on capability: Fluence Energy Management covers Battery management, Novity covers TruPrognostics engine.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

  • An LNG terminal with critical compressors and no run-to-failure history to train a conventional modelnot Fluence Energy Management
  • A wastewater operator whose existing vibration alarms are ignored because they carry no severity or horizonnot Fluence Energy Management
  • A generator operator supplying data centre load where an unplanned trip carries contractual penaltiesnot Fluence Energy Management

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Fluence Energy Management

  • No published pricing tiers or rate cards available
  • Pricing varies significantly by project requirements and scale

Novity

  • Novity is a small venture-backed company with a strategic investor rather than a profitable business, so continuity risk is real and the Tokyo Gas investment signals a likely eventual acquisition that would reset the roadmap.
  • Physics-based models must be configured per equipment class, so each new asset type is an engineering engagement rather than a configuration screen, and rollout speed is limited by Novitys own capacity.
  • Prognostics depend on the quality and sampling rate of your historian data; plants recording ten-minute averages will not get useful remaining-useful-life estimates without new instrumentation.
  • Nothing about pricing is published and there is no self-service entry point, so evaluation always starts with a sales-led pilot on a handful of assets.
  • The deployment footprint is concentrated in oil and gas, LNG and water, so reference customers and pre-built asset models outside those industries are limited.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Fluence Energy Management: How is Fluence Energy pricing determined?

Fluence Energy uses a customized, consultative sales model. The company does not publish standard pricing. Instead, they work directly with customers to develop solutions tailored to specific energy network challenges, project scale, and application requirements.

Source
Novity: What does Novity actually output?

A named failure mode and an estimated remaining useful life with a confidence band, not just an anomaly alert.

Fluence Energy Management: Does Fluence offer standard pricing tiers?

No. Fluence emphasizes a collaborative approach stating 'We are here to collaborate with you to solve the energy challenges in your network.' Products like Smartstack and Gridstack energy storage systems are delivered as turnkey solutions with pricing based on individual project specifications.

Source
Novity: Do we need failure history to train it?

No. The physics component is what lets it produce useful prognostics on equipment with little or no run-to-failure data.

Novity: Do we need new sensors?

Often not. It reads from your existing historian, but low sampling rates or missing measurements can require additional instrumentation.

Novity: Who backs the company?

It was spun out of Xerox PARC and took a strategic investment from Acario Innovation, the venture arm of Tokyo Gas, in 2026.
