Price summary
Stardog Union does not publish a Stardog list price; pricing is quote-based, so this figure is absent rather than estimated.
The smallest of the 6 Stardog awards on file — one data point, not a unit price.
The largest Stardog award on file. It bought the work its description states, not “a Stardog 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 Stardog — never because a vendor or reseller was named. Matches scoring below 0.8 were dropped and counted rather than guessed, so this Stardog table is a floor on what the record shows, not a total.
Hidden-cost patterns in the descriptions
These 8 recurring cost items are quoted from the Stardog award text itself, each with the record it came from. None of them is a Stardog price — they are the costs that sit alongside the subscription.

Sources and method
This Stardog file rests on 6 US federal contract awards running from 1 Apr 2022 to 24 Jun 2025, awarded by 2 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 Stardog page does not claim. No award here is a
price for a Stardog 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
Stardog Union can quote Stardog.
