Normal prices are extremely high and depend on the tech node. A simple CPU development in something advanced like 5nm would probably require a license package for 30+ engineers for 2 years or so. This would cost millions of $ per year. Depends how good you negotiate your prices. Some start-ups get 99% discount if they know a guy.
The EDA is dominated by Synopsys, Cadence and Mentor Graphics. Each offer every tool but what I often see is a mix and match of tools from all three.

What EDA software do you need and how much does it cost?
