How we check prices
Vendor pages only, a check date on every row, and no estimates when a price isn’t public.
Why another price list
Undated prices go stale.
Review aggregators and AI answers repeat prices without dates. On Oct 30, 2026, Stata’s own order page listed a business Stata/SE license at $1,015 a year. Several aggregator listings, and the AI summary in Google’s results for “stata price,” still said $925.
- Prices come only from the vendor’s or project’s own page
- Each row names the buyer, the term and the day we read it
- If we can’t confirm a number, for example because a vendor shows different prices by country, we say so
- # Stata/SE, business license, one year
- - aggregator listings $925
- - AI summary in search $925
- + stata.com order page $1,015
- source = "stata.com/order/new/bus"
- checked = "2026-10-30"
Prices people ask about most.
