The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about K-MINE.
- Modules are licensed separately as annual subscriptions, from 2,700 USD a year for Infrastructure up to 9,480 USD a year for Open Pit Design
- Geology is 9,060 USD a year, Pit Optimizer 8,580 USD, Scheduling 7,380 USD, Stope Optimization 6,960 USD and Surveying 6,600 USD, so a full workflow means stacking several module subscriptions
- A licence is assigned either to a dedicated server or to a single computer workstation, with one active device at a time
- Licences are online, with offline access limited to 2 days
- Training is priced by custom quote and is not included in the published module rates
- Volume discounts are referenced but no discount rate or qualifying quantity is published

Softwr does not host reviews and shows no star rating for K-MINE, because a rating we did not collect is not ours to publish. What is here is the pricing and platform detail from the vendor’s own pages, limitations we could state concretely, and alternatives a reviewer confirmed people weigh against it.
