Pricing
Free for indies.
Fair for everyone else.
Effective industry pricing must support aggressive creator economics and remove unnecessary constraints for institutional publishing.
ReaderPub is built for both paths:
- Authors and publishers sell directly to readers with a low commission.
- Institutions maintain collections with adjustable storage fees.
Publishing pricing no longer matches the market
Different types of publishers use digital publishing platforms in very different ways.
Authors and publishers need efficient sales economics.
Universities, libraries, and organizations need long-term infrastructure, storage, and collection management.
A single pricing model does not fit both.
ReaderPub pricing won’t break the bank—and it helps you grow.
Marketplace economics
- High commission
- The platform owns the customer relationship
- Discovery is controlled by marketplace ranking
- The customer relationship ends after purchase
ReaderPub economics
- 5% platform commission for direct sales
- The reader relationship stays connected
- Books remain active as web assets
- Institutions can budget for visible public infrastructure
A balanced pricing model for every industry player
ReaderPub separates publishing economics from infrastructure economics.
Authors and publishers get plans tailored to their publishing and sales activity.
Institutions get plans focused on long-term collections, access management, and infrastructure needs.
For institutions
Institutions need more than storage. They need collections that can be found, read, searched, and discussed on the web.
