How much does business software cost per month?
Across 214 tools quoted per month, the median entry plan is $20. Averages mislead here: the mean is $66.74 because a handful of enterprise products sit above $500 and drag it upward.
The bigger driver of what you actually pay is not the headline price but whether it multiplies. 64 of 214 tools (29%) charge per seat, so a ten-person team on a $20 plan pays $200 a month, not $20.
The cheapest entry plans we have verified: Devin at $2.25, Obsidian at $4, Buffer at $5, Ecwid at $5, Expensify at $5.
Computed from DigiJaws’ pricing dataset of 252 tools, each figure read from the vendor’s own pricing page on a recorded date. The data is open at /pricing-data.json.

Is the average software price a useful number?
Not really. The mean ($66.74) is roughly 3.3x the median ($20) because enterprise pricing skews it. Plan with the median and check whether the plan is per seat.Does a cheap entry plan mean a cheap tool?
Not if it is per seat or metered. A $10 per-seat plan across fifteen people costs more than a $99 flat plan, and usage-based tools can exceed both once you pass the included allowance.Terms used in this answer are defined in the AI search glossary, and what AI search readiness means explains how GEO, AEO and SEO fit together.
