Who pays for intelligence dashboards?

Governments pay the most: the US Army signed Palantir for $10 billion over 10 years, and Mastercard bought Recorded Future, the threat-intelligence firm banks use, for $2.65 billion. Professionals pay $31,980 a year for a Bloomberg Terminal, 355,000 of them. In February 2026 Perplexity put a $200-a-month terminal against it.
