Plans & pricing
We are not doing this to make money. Invest Hamilton County is an economic development organization, not a software company. Atlas exists to achieve our Vision. We price to keep universal access intact and to cover the cost of trustworthy community infrastructure. That is why the first tier is free for every audience, why the free tier runs on the exact same evidence base as the highest tier, and why Hamilton County residents, employers, and non-profits pay a fraction of market rates. Your community already invested in this. Revenue from those outside the county funds more of it.
Residents: free forever. Employers and non-profits: free first tier, working tiers at a fraction of market rate. Your community already invested in this infrastructure. This is your return.
Peer communities, chambers, and organizations can license the same platform at fair rates that fund more of this work back home. Out-of-county licensing opens after our Board ratifies the rate card.

Founding pricing. Every plan starts with the same data integrity as the free tier, paid tiers widen the feature surface, never the truth. Market rates were researched July 2026 from published rate cards, procurement records, and buyer-reported ranges; lines marked estimated reflect vendors who do not publish pricing. Comparisons describe the closest commercial alternative for the same job, not identical products. Out-of-county licensing opens after our Board ratifies the rate card in August 2026.
