How it works

  • Organization plan. Join by card through Stripe, monthly or yearly; it renews until you cancel, and you can change or cancel it from your account. The first 100 organizations pay $99 a month (or $990 a year) and keep that price for as long as their membership continues. After that, Organization membership is $499 a month.
  • Data plans are annual licenses for one organization, invoiced: $9,000 a year for the national tracker or $5,850 a year for one state. API access is priced with or without a data plan. Tell us which states you need and how you will use the data, and we will send the plan agreement.
  • Using what you read. Anyone may quote and cite what they read on the site, with credit to SignalData and a link to the page. The data files themselves are licensed to subscribers; see the data license.
