BeyondTrust has migrated towards subscription-based licensing/annual renewals. They remain competitive and on par with their pricing, often coming in under other competitors. Pricing is one of the reasons clients choose BeyondTrust, but it's not the only reason.
The pricing structure is better than the competitors. It's much cheaper than CyberArk. They do the licensing on the basis of assets, not on the number of users. For CyberArk, they base the licensing on the number of users, and they have an expensive model of pricing. BeyondTrust has a cheaper model.
Pricing with BeyondTrust Password Safe is on par with its competitors.
The sales team pushes hard for HA and FO, but this is smart for deniability in the event it actually happens. The price comparisons against competitors, if BT is higher, can be easily surpassed with the built-in automation for onboarding newly discovered systems and accounts.
When you buy Password Safe and perform your initial Discovery, you have all these servers that are added to your assets in BeyondTrust, but you're not using a license until you actually start managing the systems. BeyondTrust's licensing is based on the systems when they're managed, which means when an administrator is able to connect to the server through BeyondTrust with a managed account. There would be a privileged account on the endpoint when the licensing starts. A significant advantage to that is that there are many organizations that want to evaluate their environment prior to automatic management. For example, they are going to be upgrading to a larger router instead of having two routers. They are going to have one so that would be one managed license rather than two. It gives them a chance of seeing their environment before they commit to managed systems and licenses.

We only pay for Password Safe. Session management is included, but we don't use it. There aren't any additional costs besides the standard licensing fees. We pay for an annual license.
Talk to references, look at Gartner and the positive and negative comments. BeyondTrust has the least negative comments of all the products and ties vulnerability management, scanning, password management, session recording, inventory management, intelligence gathering on attached assets. And when you look at all this together and price out separate options, the TCO is easy to justify.
Beyond Trust Password Safe is an automated solution that combines password and privileged session management into a single platform. Password Safe delivers secure access control, auditing, alerting, recording, and monitoring.
This free and open-source password manager supports Windows and Linux, and some ports are available for other platforms as well. Their proprietary algorithm, Twofish, is considered highly secure, with the advantage that it is not affiliated with NIST. The Twofish...
The pricing is nice. It is a yearly basis license. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive.
The product is quite affordable. Considering the quality of the product, the pricing is pretty good. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten.

I'm not aware of the exact pricing.

The pricing of BeyondTrust is very good as compared to other products. That was the main reason we decided to go with BeyondTrust at first.

This solution is not cheap—it's a very expensive solution. Very, very expensive compared to the features and functions that they offer.
It has subscription-based licensing. BeyondTrust is three times less expensive than CyberArk.
