Pricing
Free for indies.
Fair for everyone else.
Effective Industry pricing should combine room for aggressive creator economics and fairness for unbound institutional publishing.
ReaderPub matches both paths:
- Authors and publishers sell directly to readers with 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 prices won't break the bank – they help you grow.
Marketplace economics
- High commission
- Platform owns the customer
- Discovery controlled by marketplace ranking
- Relationship ends after purchase
ReaderPub economics
- 5% platform commission for direct sales
- Reader relationship stays connected
- Books remain active as web assets
- Institutions budget for visible public infrastructure
Balanced pricing model for all industry players
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.
