Transparent per-city pricing

Why prices vary by city.

Calgary is our anchor market. Every other city is priced as a multiplier of the Calgary base. We publish the formula and the per-city multiplier publicly so there's no negotiation game.

Your selected city: Calgary · Multiplier: 1.00×

The formula

Each city's multiplier is a function of three inputs: population (largest weight), local data depth (datasets we've shipped for that city), and a provincial-economy modifier.

pop_factor   = (city_pop      / calgary_pop)     ^ 0.35
data_factor  = (city_datasets / calgary_datasets) ^ 0.30
province_mod = lookup(city.province)  # 0.85 to 1.10
raw          = (0.70 * pop_factor + 0.30 * data_factor) * province_mod
multiplier   = clamp(round(raw, 2), 0.55, 1.40)

Population

Larger commercial markets sustain higher prices (more buyers, deeper pockets per dollar of data). 70% weight, sub-linear scaling so Toronto doesn't pay 2.2× Calgary just for being 2.2× bigger.

Data depth

Cities where we've shipped more datasets get a small premium — there's more value to extract. 30% weight. Currently Calgary leads (100 datasets); newer cities scale up as coverage grows.

Province modifier

BC 1.05× (Vancouver premium). ON / AB 1.00×. QC 0.95×. Atlantic / Prairies 0.90×. North + PEI / NL 0.85×. Reflects local SaaS spend norms.

Floor 0.55×, ceiling 1.40×. No Canadian city pays less than 55% of Calgary base or more than 140%. Beyond the ceiling we negotiate directly. Tiny markets (population < 50k) all sit at the floor — even a small Excel delivery has fixed costs.
