Expect custom pricing based on users, usage, integrations, support level, and contract scope. Ask for a clear pilot price and rollout assumptions.

Digital by Default verdict

Monte Carlo is worth considering if you need analytics & bi capability and the core features match a real workflow. Treat it as a high-effort adoption: shortlist it, compare alternatives, and test it on a small but realistic process before wider rollout.
