Pick a package that fits your team

Three things drive the number: how many people need access, how much capability you need, and how the software is deployed.

More users means higher set-up, training and support costs, plus more computational expense and server traffic. We licence StarDrop to single users, specific sites or an entire company. Licences can also be floating, giving a set number of concurrent users access in a cost-effective way. The packages above are typical ranges, with pricing from around $10,000 a year. StarDrop™ scales to support enterprise deployments of hundreds of chemists across an organisation.

Every package includes the core platform, covering data visualisation, molecular design, multi-parameter optimisation, SAR analysis and our Card View®, along with tailored training and ongoing support from our Application Science team.

The core platform extends with up to 10 modules across four areas: in silico modelling, MPO strategy, generative chemistry, and linking 2D and 3D SAR and design.

• ADME QSAR High quality predictive QSAR models of a broad range of key ADME and physicochemical properties.
• Metabolism Quickly identify metabolic pathways, potential metabolites and guide compound design to avoid metabolic liabilities.
• Derek Nexus™ Knowledge-based prediction of over 40 key toxicity endpoints, helping guide the design of safe, efficacious drugs.
• Auto-Modeller™ Build and validate robust QSAR models tailored to your chemistry and data, in an easy and intuitive way.
• MPO Explorer™ Develop multi-parameter optimisation strategies using patented rule induction and sensitivity analysis methods.
• Nova™ Generate and prioritise new, relevant compound ideas using virtual library enumeration and generative chemistry.
• BIOSTER™ Access a world of chemistry experience, extending Nova’s capabilities with over 29,000 structure modifications and replacement techniques.
• Inspyra™ Combine your expert chemistry knowledge and the exploratory power of generative methods to identify optimal compounds faster.
• eSim™ 3D 3D ligand-based design. Understand binding conformations to identify and optimise novel active compounds.
• SeeSAR™ 3D structure-based design. Visualise ligand and protein structures and identify key interactions driving binding affinity.

StarDrop works with a broad range of partners, spanning both technologies we license and embed in StarDrop and integrations with third-party platforms. Our integrations page and customisation and integration page show some examples of our partners and integrations.

The packages above are some common configurations, so they are a good starting point rather than a fixed menu. They should give you a good guide based on your team’s size and the modules you need, and we will confirm a price for your exact requirements.

If you host StarDrop yourself, there is no additional cost to the licence. More teams are asking us to host it for them, and while there is a small additional charge for that service, we find the total cost of ownership tends to be lower. The right choice usually depends on your data security policy, in-house IT expertise and team capacity.

Yes. The modular structure means you can extend your subscription as your needs change, from ADME prediction to generative chemistry to 3D design. We adjust your subscription without any disruption to your work.

Yes. Every package includes tailored hands-on training and ongoing support from our Application Science team, with no hidden costs for support, training or updates. Response times are typically within a few hours.

Yes. You can run a free 30-day trial on your own data, with full access to StarDrop, hands-on onboarding and support from our in-house PhD-level scientists. It is the most reliable way to judge the software, since you can load your own compounds and reproduce SAR you already understand.

Most teams find it relatively straightforward. We handle workflow mapping, data migration, configuration and testing, and there are no surprise charges for support, training or updates.

Yes. Academic and non-profit discounts are available. We work with many universities, research institutes and non-profit organisations, so contact our team to discuss pricing for your institution and how StarDrop can support your research.
