The company says its products are used by 18 of the top 20 global automakers and by autonomy programs across multiple vehicle domains.

The company was founded in 2017 and remains private. Its public profile is strongest around Simulation and ADP / vehicle OS tools, while detailed revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.

As of June 2026, the safest public read is that Applied Intuition is scaling through enterprise partnerships and capital-intensive product development rather than a self-serve consumer motion.

Enterprise software licenses, simulation tools, embedded autonomy products, and defense contracts; public pricing is not disclosed. No public list pricing; enterprise quote-based software and program contracts.

Growth is driven by enterprise adoption, strategic partnerships, and proof that the platform can deliver measurable operational, clinical, scientific, or mission outcomes. Because Applied Intuition does not publish standard list prices, buyers should treat budget sizing as a custom-contract exercise.

The commercial motion therefore depends on executive sponsorship, security and compliance review, and evidence that the product can integrate into existing workflows rather than replace them all at once.
