Global enterprise AI platforms cost $500,000 to $10,000,000 a year, demand stable fiber connectivity, ship in English only, and store your citizens' data on US infrastructure. Nova Gov is the opposite of all of that — sovereign by default, priced for emerging governments, localized for ASEAN, and built around the citizen, not the analyst.
Every architectural decision in Nova Gov was made to satisfy these three constraints. They are not features. They are the reason we exist.
Your citizens' data lives in your country, on infrastructure you can audit. No US cloud, no Israeli cloud, no foreign defense contractor in the middle. Full RA 10173 alignment, audit logs included.
The global enterprise platforms quote provinces $500K to $10M a year. Most LGUs can't even quote them. Nova Gov starts free for founding LGUs and scales to roughly one-tenth of enterprise pricing at the national tier.
Tagalog, Cebuano, Bahasa, Vietnamese, Thai — and the local pain understanding behind each. Built around how Asian LGUs actually work: spotty internet, mobile-first, low admin capacity, dense informal economies, frequent disasters.
Nova Gov is the government side of a two-sided platform. Citizens use Nova Citizen — free, forever — to report incidents, claim benefits, and contact services. Every report becomes signal in your LGU dashboard. The platform gets smarter as your population uses it. Enterprise analytics platforms cannot replicate this because they have no citizen layer.
The global platforms can sell you analytics. They cannot sell you 115 million citizens already inside your platform.
We respect the architectural patterns the global platforms pioneered. We use those patterns. We don't use their products. Here's why.
All figures are publicly reported or our own indicative pricing. Customer-specific quotes always run through formal procurement; nothing here is an offer.
A growing number of Asian governments are auditing their digital infrastructure for foreign control. The same US defense contractors that build platforms for Western intelligence agencies are not neutral suppliers — they are extensions of a foreign policy stack. When your citizens' incident reports, welfare records, and movement patterns sit on their cloud, you are not the owner of that data. You are a tenant in their system.
Nova Gov is structurally the opposite. The data layer sits in your country, on infrastructure you can audit. Encryption keys are managed in-region. Every access is logged. RA 10173 alignment is baked in, not bolted on. When a national agency asks where the data lives, the answer is one word: here.
Five LGUs join our founding cohort. Free for the first 12 months. Direct line to our team. A say in what we build next. National rollout starts with you.
