  Snorkel AI operates a split model: the open-source snorkel Python library is
  free (Apache-2.0), while the enterprise Snorkel Flow platform and Snorkel
  Expert Data-as-a-Service are sales-led with custom, negotiated contracts and
  no public price list. Public third-party estimates put enterprise entry in the
  low-to-mid five figures and up per year (industry references cite figures such
  as ~$50K/year and a $60K 12-month hosted-unit contract), scaling by users,
  data volume, deployment model, and professional services. These figures are
  not confirmed by Snorkel and are unreconciled.
notes: >-
  Pricing is not published by Snorkel; enterprise pricing requires contacting
  sales. Reconcile against an official quote or order form. Open-source library
  pricing (free) is the only firm, verifiable data point.
