S&P Global Market Intelligence pricing: subscription cost by product, from filed rate cards

Every page you will find about S&P Global Market Intelligence pricing says the same thing: S&P does not publish prices, contact sales. That is true in the United States, and it is why the figures circulating for Capital IQ and its sister products are reseller estimates and procurement medians rather than rate cards.

It is not true everywhere. To sell to UK public bodies through the G-Cloud framework, a supplier has to file an actual price list. S&P Global Market Intelligence LLC has filed thirteen services on G-Cloud 14, and every single one carries a real pricing document. This page is the first place those thirteen rate cards have been read together and put in one table. The prices are stated in pounds because that is the currency S&P filed them in; the US dollar conversions are our arithmetic, at 1.3656 dollars to the pound, and are shown for scale rather than as a US quote.

Investables.ai is nowhere near this market in size or purpose, at $29 to $249 per month. Enter a ticker and you get a structured research card: what the business does, the metrics that matter with peer context, the bull case, the bear case, comparables and labeled risk flags. It carries no real-time data, no redistribution rights and no credit models, and it is informational research only rather than investment advice.

The short answer

How much does S&P Global Market Intelligence cost?

S&P Global Market Intelligence filed thirteen rate cards on the UK G-Cloud 14 framework, and they show a very wide range. Capital IQ Pro runs GBP 45,000 for up to five users to GBP 250,000 for up to a hundred. Credit Analytics runs GBP 34,600 to GBP 176,100, priced by counterparties scored rather than by seat. The cheapest way in is a single country PMI subscription at GBP 5,600 for five users. API access is priced as a percentage of the desktop base: plus 75% for API alongside desktop, plus 25% for API delivery only.

Why it works

What the filed rate cards show that the estimates do not

The API surcharge is a company-wide rule, not a product quirk

Three separate filed cards, Capital IQ Pro, Credit Analytics and ESG Desktop, state the same two add-on multipliers in identical language: API alongside desktop costs an extra 75% of the desktop base price, and API delivery on its own costs 25% of that base. Because it is a percentage rather than a flat fee, the API line grows every time you add a seat or a counterparty band. On a GBP 145,000 thirty-five user Capital IQ Pro deployment, adding API access is roughly GBP 108,750 a year on top.

Not everything is priced per seat, and that changes the math

Credit Analytics is the clearest example. It is priced on the estimated number of counterparties you score per year, and the filed card states plainly that within the named teams there are no user limits, new users can be added mid-term at no cost, and there is no cap or back-billing on scores generated. A team of forty scoring 90 counterparties pays the GBP 34,600 entry band. The same forty people on Capital IQ Pro seats would sit in the GBP 180,000 band. Same vendor, same platform, two completely different pricing axes.

The same content costs 18 times more if you buy it standalone

ESG Desktop appears twice in the filings. On the Capital IQ Pro card it is an add-on at plus GBP 3,000 for all users up to a maximum of ten. Filed separately as its own service, ESG Desktop for up to ten users is GBP 56,500. That is the same vendor, the same framework and the same seat count, priced at roughly nineteen times the bundled rate. If ESG is on your list at all, whether it rides on a Capital IQ Pro contract is worth more than any discount you will negotiate on the base.

S&P marks the Capital IQ Pro and ESG Desktop cards as exclusively for UK public sector clients, and the Capital IQ Pro card carries a time limited discount noted as running to 31 December 2025. Treat every figure as evidence of structure and scale rather than as a price a US buyer will be quoted. Investables.ai pricing is our own published rate and is informational research only, not investment advice.

Why Investables.ai

One research card that compresses the reading

Not a wall of raw data, not a one-sided opinion, and not a six-figure terminal. The thesis, both sides of the argument and the risks, in one structured tear-sheet you can act on. You stay in control of every decision.

Both sides, every time

The bull case and the bear case sit side by side, so you weigh the argument instead of reading a single take. Informational only, never a recommendation.

Risks on the page

Valuation, concentration and regulatory risks are flagged explicitly, so the downside is visible up front rather than buried in a footnote.

Faster diligence

A structured first pass in seconds means you spend your time on judgement, not on gathering, across stocks, ETFs, crypto and startups.

Good questions

Questions about s&p global mi pricing

Not in the United States, where every product is quote-only. It does publish in the United Kingdom, because supplying public bodies through the G-Cloud framework requires filing a price list. Thirteen S&P Global Market Intelligence services are listed on G-Cloud 14 and all thirteen carry a pricing document. Those documents are public, downloadable, and are the only genuine S&P rate cards in existence.

The filed card prices bands rather than individual seats, so the per-user figure depends entirely on where you land. GBP 45,000 for up to five users is about GBP 9,000 a seat. GBP 250,000 for up to a hundred is about GBP 2,500 a seat. At 1.3656 dollars to the pound that is roughly $12,300 down to $3,400 per seat per year. US buyers report negotiated seats anywhere from $10,000 to $50,000, and a widely cited US list figure is about $33,375 per user per year.

A single country PMI subscription at GBP 5,600 for five users, or the Comparative Industry Service at GBP 5,500 per license with a five license minimum. Both come in under GBP 30,000 total, against GBP 45,000 for the smallest Capital IQ Pro band. If you need one specific dataset rather than the platform, buying the dataset on its own is dramatically cheaper and is rarely offered unprompted.

It is priced as a percentage of the desktop base rather than as a separate product. API access alongside a desktop subscription adds 75% of the desktop base price. API delivery only, with no desktop seats, costs 25% of that base. The filed Credit Analytics card works a live example: 340 counterparties on API only comes to GBP 69,750, and 150 counterparties on desktop plus API comes to GBP 77,350.

Credit Analytics on Capital IQ runs from GBP 34,600 to GBP 176,100 a year depending on two things: how many counterparties you expect to score annually, across eight bands, and whether the license covers a single team, two teams, three teams or the whole enterprise. There are two 25% discounted cut-down versions, RiskGauge Desktop only and Credit Risk Pricing only, for buyers who need one part of the toolset.

Below 35 users, yes, by 22% to 35%. At 35, 50 and 100 users the two filed cards show identical figures: GBP 145,000, GBP 180,000 and GBP 250,000. So above 35 seats S&P is charging for seats and including the SNL banking and insurance content at no extra cost. If you are buying near that threshold and SNL data matters, the crossover is worth modeling before you agree a seat count.

S&P Global Market Intelligence is the division. Capital IQ Pro is its flagship desktop platform. The division also sells credit models, PMI economic data, maritime and trade risk, ESG data, sanctions screening, supplier risk and industry forecasts, most of which are separate subscriptions with their own rate cards and are not included in a Capital IQ Pro seat. Assuming your Capital IQ contract covers them is the most common budgeting error here.

If you run a regulated credit process, need audited private company financials across jurisdictions, or redistribute data inside a product, then yes, and there is no cheap substitute. If your job is understanding a listed company and forming a defensible view, the answer is often no. That work needs filings, fundamentals with peer context and an honest statement of what could go wrong, none of which requires a six figure contract.
