The short version

  • Each has a real cost: GE Digital GridOS gE Digital publishes no price for GridOS anywhere on its product page; the platform is described as an application suite for utilities across transmission and distribution, gated entirely behind a Contact Us request rather than any published rate (archived product page, 18 May 2023); 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)
