I think the price very much depends on the host/target combination.  A few
years ago I had a quote for $12,000 for 10 seats for one year.  This was the
minimum support level with NT as the host and target, and the minimum number
of seats was 10 (as I recall).

I go along with Marc's comment: contact sales@gnat.com to get the actual
cost of ACT support for GNAT.
