PAM Pricing Methodology

Every number on this site traces to a vendor pricing page URL fetched on the verification date below. Quote-only vendors carry no inferred rates; we publish their sales-contact URL and stop there.

Data integrity rules

These rules are non-negotiable and apply to every page on the site. They exist because cost-comparison sites that infer prices for quote-only vendors drift into fabrication.

  1. No numeric claim without a source URL. Every $ figure traces to either (a) the vendor pricing page URL fetched on the verification date in the table below, or (b) a named authoritative dataset (Gartner Magic Quadrant, Forrester Wave, IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report). Failing both, we remove the claim.
  2. No inferred rates for quote-only vendors. If a vendor hides pricing, we show a Quote Only badge, link to the vendor contact page, and write "Pricing not publicly disclosed by [Vendor]".
  3. No invented industry benchmarks. Acceptable: Gartner Magic Quadrant, Forrester Wave, IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report, Verizon DBIR. Unacceptable: "based on observation", "typical industry data", "industry average".
  4. Worked examples use clearly-fictional companies. Any company name in an example is labelled "Acme [X] Co. (illustrative example, not a real company)".
  5. Every page footer carries a verification date stamp. Stale dates read as abandoned; honest dates earn citation.
  6. This page is the citable anchor. If anything on the site is challenged, the table below is the source of record.

Source registry

One row per source, with the URL we fetched, the verification date, and a risk flag (low / medium / high).

Calculator model

The procurement calculator on the homepage and /calculator applies the following formula per vendor.

Inputs

Formula

SaaS per-user vendors (Keeper, JumpCloud, Okta):
  annual = admins x perUserPerMonth x 12

ManageEngine PAM360:
  annual = max($7,995, admins x ~$800)  // Standard tier
           // Standard floor enforced for under 10 admins

Teleport:
  if admins < 100 and Community-qualifying: annual = $0
  else: quote-only, excluded from stack

HashiCorp Boundary:
  Community Edition: annual = $0 (self-hosted)
  HCP Boundary: bills session-hours, not per admin, excluded

Excluded from the USD stack

Refresh cadence

Vendor pricing pages are re-fetched quarterly. Next refresh: September 2026. Quote-only vendors are revisited quarterly to confirm they have not started publishing rates.

Conflict-of-interest disclosure

Digital Signet receives no compensation from any PAM vendor. There are no affiliate links on this site. There are no sponsored vendor placements. The calculator's default ordering is by ascending annual list price, deterministic.

Corrections and disputes
