The cost can depend on many factors including how far behind the tool is.
I've heard they make you pay for every update that has been missed, but I've never actually paid for an update. I usually manage to get my rep to include one as incentive for me to spend money on the truck. Otherwise I buy very little.
There is also a subscription service that spreads out the payments for one year and gives you each of the quarterly updates for that year.
Another thing to consider is the age of the tool.
A first generation Verus may not be supported any longer, meaning no update available.
My current tool is a Verus Edge (one notch below the Zeus) and I think one update is around $1000.

The subscription service is definitely an option. Just beware that it adds up to about the same amount over the course of the subscription (generally a year).
I dunno about the Verus, but I know that my Modis Ultra can install the biannual updates via ShopStream Connect, without having to visit the Snap-On dealer. Saves a bit of time/hassle.

Do you know what software version is in it now?
I think the biggest improvements (well, the most relevant to the cars I work on) were made in version16.

I was quoted $1800 for my Verus Edge (with current software) and ended up getting it for $1500 since I did the leg work and sold my old Solus...

Maybe we've just been drinking too much of the Kool-Aid.

Especially if you've got a handful of cars you see frequently, as long as the tool you choose has adequate coverage for those cars it should always be usable for you.
