The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Landis+Gyr Gridstream the platform depends on Landis+Gyr metering hardware, including electric, gas and water meters plus communication network devices, rather than being sold as software alone; 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: Landis+Gyr Gridstream covers Advanced metering infrastructure, Novity covers TruPrognostics engine.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

What people use each for

The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.

Landis+Gyr Gridstream

  • A wastewater operator whose existing vibration alarms are ignored because they carry no severity or horizonnot Landis+Gyr Gridstream
  • A generator operator supplying data centre load where an unplanned trip carries contractual penaltiesnot Landis+Gyr Gridstream

Where each one falls short

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

Landis+Gyr Gridstream

  • The platform depends on Landis+Gyr metering hardware, including electric, gas and water meters plus communication network devices, rather than being sold as software alone
  • No price, licensing model or subscription term is published on the solutions pages; the site offers only a contact form and a distributor finder
  • Deployment, integration and ongoing optimisation are sold as separate Lifecycle Services rather than included

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

Landis+Gyr Gridstream: How much does Landis+Gyr GridStream cost?

Landis+Gyr does not publish pricing on their website. Contact Landis+Gyr directly through their contact forms, reach out to a local distributor, or contact their sales team for pricing information.

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.

Landis+Gyr Gridstream: How do I request Landis+Gyr pricing?

Use the website contact form, reach out to a local distributor, log in as an existing customer, or contact Landis+Gyr sales directly for pricing details.

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.
