If you've ever tried to find out what a BI platform costs, you know the drill. "Contact sales for pricing." "Custom quote based on your needs." "Let's schedule a call to discuss your requirements." Translation: it's expensive and we don't want to tell you until you're emotionally invested.
We think that's disrespectful to your time and intelligence. So here's everything, right on the page.
The Orca Pricing Philosophy
Our pricing is built on three principles:
- Zero upfront cost. We build your complete system before you pay anything. Full stop.
- One monthly fee covers everything. No per-seat charges, no data overage fees, no hidden add-ons.
- Cancel anytime. No long-term contracts. We earn your business every month.
Why? Because if you need a 12-month contract to keep a customer, your product isn't good enough. We'd rather build something so valuable you'd never want to leave.
You pay $0 until you see a working system built on your real data. After that, one fixed monthly fee that includes everything. No surprises, ever.

How We Compare
Let's put these numbers in context. Here's what the alternatives actually cost:
Traditional BI consultancy: $30,000-$150,000 upfront + $2,000-$10,000/month maintenance
Enterprise BI platform (Tableau, Power BI, Looker): $70-$150/user/month + implementation costs of $20,000-$80,000 + a data analyst hire at $85,000-$130,000/year
Orca: $0 upfront + $799-$12,999/month all-inclusive. No additional hires needed.
When you factor in the implementation costs, the staff needed to maintain and interpret traditional tools, and the time-to-value (months vs. weeks), Orca isn't just more affordable -- it's a fundamentally different value equation.
What Your Monthly Fee Includes
There's no "base price + add-ons" game here. Your monthly fee includes:
- Unlimited users. Your whole team can access the system. We don't charge per seat.
- All maintenance and updates. Bug fixes, security patches, performance improvements -- all handled.
- AI model updates. Your models continuously improve as they process more data. This isn't an add-on.
- Support. Real humans who know your system, not a generic help desk.
- Feature evolution. Need a new dashboard? A new data connection? An additional automation? These are included in your plan, not billed separately.
What Your Fee Does NOT Include
Because transparency goes both ways, here are the costs that are not part of your Orca subscription:
- Third-party software licenses. If you need a new CRM or accounting tool, that's a separate purchase (though we'll advise on the best options).
- Data cleanup. If your data is in unusable condition, there may be a one-time data preparation fee -- but we'll tell you upfront and give you a fixed price before starting.
- Major scope changes. If you want to completely rebuild the system six months in, that's a conversation. Iterative improvements and new features? Included.
No Contracts. Seriously.
Month-to-month. Cancel anytime. We'll even help you export your data and transition if you decide to leave.
Why? Because confidence in our product means we don't need a contract to keep you. If we're delivering value every month, you'll stay. If we're not, we deserve to lose your business. That accountability keeps us sharp.
"I was paying $4,200/month for a BI platform plus $95,000/year for an analyst to run it. Orca replaced both for $2,999/month. The AI is better at finding insights than my analyst was -- and I say that with love for the guy. He's now doing strategy work instead." -- CFO, healthcare services company
Getting Your Exact Price
Within each tier, your exact monthly price depends on the complexity of your data environment, the number of integrations, and the sophistication of the AI models needed. But here's how we handle it:
- We have a discovery call (free, 30 minutes)
- We tell you the exact monthly price -- no range, no "starting at"
- We build the system (at our cost)
- You see it working and decide
The price we quote is the price you pay. No negotiations, no upsells, no "oh, that feature is actually extra." What we quote is what it costs.
