The real cost is the one you can't see on an invoice
Network models are usually priced per member by the administrator, and the member signs up with their brand. The question isn't the monthly number, it's what you still own in 24 months. BoomCloud is published pricing ($197/mo + $4.50 per active member on Basic, $397 + $3.50 on Pro), the per-member portion designed to be built into membership dues, and every member is yours to export on any day of the contract.
