Pricing
A year of leadership intelligence for less than one executive search
One annual licence covers your team’s market maps, benchmarks and shortlists all year, with research support when you need it.
How teams buy
Simple, and sized to your team
There are no per-search fees and no charge per report. You pay for an annual licence for the people who use MapX, and add research credits when a role needs 6 Group’s researchers as well as the data. Most teams start with a licence and a small credit bundle, then add credits as hiring picks up.

What’s included
Everything you need from day one
Every licence includes Polaris, the full MapX data set of 22 million senior leaders and 2 million companies, your report library set up in your brand at onboarding, and connections to Copilot, ChatGPT and Claude. There is nothing extra to buy before your first search.
That covers every use case on one licence: market maps and shortlists, succession benchmarking, competitor intelligence, organisation design, title levelling, location strategy, workforce planning and career pathways. An end-to-end report that used to take days or weeks of consultancy time takes a couple of hours.

Questions teams ask
How much does MapX cost?
Licences are sized to your team and the research support you want, so there is no list price. A 30-minute call is enough for a written quote. For most in-house teams, a year of MapX costs less than the fee on one retained executive search.
Who needs a licence?
The people who run searches and talent analysis day to day. Hiring managers and stakeholders receive reports in your brand and don’t need a licence to read them.
Is there a free trial?
We don’t run self-serve trials, because MapX shows its value on a real role. A 45-minute demo on one of your live roles shows exactly what MapX finds, and the free sample pack shows three finished reports.
What does onboarding involve?
Two calls. In the first we set up your report library in your brand; in the second we run a first search or benchmark with your team on a live question.
Can we add research later?
Yes. Add research credits at any time as roles come up, and save with a bundle. Each credit covers validated mapping, or outreach and first-stage screening, for one role.
How does it compare with a retained search?
A retained search fee buys one role. A MapX licence covers every role and every talent question your team works on for a year, with the research a search firm would do produced in hours.
