Pricing that fits your budget.
APEX and New Wave are available with either a monthly subscription or a one-time buyout option, allowing stations to choose the plan that best fits their operation.
Monthly plans include ongoing software updates, support, APEX Cloud remote access, and one user profile that may be used by as many authorized staff members as desired; additional user profiles with separate permissions are available for a monthly fee per user.
The buyout option provides a one-time purchase of the APEX software and includes one year of software updates, support, and APEX Cloud remote access. After the first year, the station may continue using the purchased APEX system locally, while ongoing remote access can be maintained for a monthly fee per user profile, with support and update coverage available separately as applicable.
