Institution plans (subscription + storage)

For libraries, universities, government, and public organizations — publish trusted collections to the web with a modern reader.

Institutions publish collections, programs, archives, and public libraries. ReaderPub is the missing web layer: fast onboarding, clean discovery, and a real in-browser reading experience. Institutions budget annually and publish collections over time, so pricing is subscription-based with storage included — with predictable overage when needed.
