The short version

  • Each has a real cost: GE Digital Grid Software no pricing information available; GE has restructured into independent companies; 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: GE Digital Grid Software covers Advanced distribution management, Novity covers TruPrognostics engine.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

GE Digital Grid Software

  • No pricing information available; GE has restructured into independent companies
  • Requires visiting separate company websites for specific product pricing

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

GE Digital Grid Software: What is GE Digital Grid's pricing?

No pricing information is published. General Electric restructured into three independent, publicly traded companies: GE Aerospace (~$32B annual revenue), GE Vernova (~$33B annual revenue), and GE HealthCare (~$19B annual revenue). Product pricing must be found on individual company websites.

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.

GE Digital Grid Software: Where can I find pricing for GE power generation utilities products?

GE Digital's website serves as a corporate overview directing visitors to standalone company websites. Specific product pricing for power generation utilities and grid solutions requires accessing the relevant independent company website.

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.
