DataStax pricing

By Lars Cornelissen · Published 13 Sep 2026 · Last verified 5 Oct 2026 · How these numbers are produced

What do public agencies pay for DataStax?

$115,698.21 – $635,933.08 typical award, across 12 awards for licence and renewal purchases

Full range $13,394.52 to $2,249,867.2, median $299,762.56, over 29 Sep 2015 – 25 Jul 2024.

These are contract totals for one award each — what an agency was awarded, for the scope its description states — not a price per licence, and not comparable with the vendor’s list price, which is a different kind of number (why the distinction matters).

Public agencies have awarded contracts for DataStax with amounts ranging from $13,394.52 to $2,249,867.20 across 12 licence and renewal awards. The median award for licence and renewal purchases is $299,762.56.

Price summary

Not published Vendor list price (list_price)

DataStax Inc. does not publish a DataStax list price; pricing is quote-based, so this figure is absent rather than estimated.

$13,394.52 Lowest observed public contract (contract_total)

The smallest of the 21 DataStax awards on file — one data point, not a unit price.

$2,249,867.2 Highest observed public contract (contract_total)

The largest DataStax award on file. It bought the work its description states, not “a DataStax licence”.

These three figures are not comparable with each other, and the type next to each number is the point: both contract figures are the contract totals describe different scopes of work bought by different agencies.

Each row appears only because its own description names DataStax — never because a vendor or reseller was named. Matches scoring below 0.8 were dropped and counted rather than guessed, so this DataStax table is a floor on what the record shows, not a total.

Hidden-cost patterns in the descriptions

These 23 recurring cost items are quoted from the DataStax award text itself, each with the record it came from. None of them is a DataStax price — they are the costs that sit alongside the subscription.

What to watch at renewal

An award for $846,217.73 was for a 'DATASTAX SUBSCRIPTION'. An award for $251,151.15 was for 'DATASTAX SW LICENSE MAINTENANCE'. An award for $142,954.89 was for 'DATASTAX SOFTWARE RENEWAL'. An award for $1,768,975.08 was for 'DATASTAX ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND SUPPORT'.

Sources and method

This DataStax file rests on 21 US federal contract awards running from 29 Sep 2015 to 25 Jul 2024, awarded by 6 agencies, most often Department of Defense. Every row links to its own record on USAspending.gov, which is where the amount and date come from. The rules for matching a product, narrowing with classification codes, and labelling each amount by type are on the methodology page.

What this DataStax page does not claim. No award here is a price for a DataStax licence, the figures are not comparable across rows, and the file is not complete — it covers what the pipeline could match confidently, with everything discarded recorded in rejected.json. Only DataStax Inc. can quote DataStax.
