MicroStrategy

  • MicroStrategy has rebranded to Strategy and microstrategy.com/pricing now redirects to software.strategy.com, which is a product page with no pricing on it
  • No rate, no per-user price, no minimum and no named cost driver is published anywhere on the destination page
  • The only routes offered are a custom ROI analysis, a demo request or a proof-of-value pilot
  • The product is positioned around a proof-of-value pilot and an approved architecture, implying a scoped implementation rather than self-serve purchase

Stripe Dashboard

  • The Stripe Dashboard has no standalone price; it is a free management console bundled with a Stripe merchant account and requires a live account to access, confirmed live and in the 1 Jan 2021 archive capture
