Wowbrary is Very Affordable

What does Wowbrary cost?

As a nonprofit, we are committed to keeping costs for libraries low. Our service is substantially subsidized so your sponsorship is only for a fraction of the overall cost. Your service area population determines the annual sponsorship charge, ranging from $500 per year to a few thousand dollars for very large cities, before any discounts. There are no fees per recipient, for usage, or for extra features. If four to nine libraries sharing a catalog sponsor Wowbrary and can be invoiced collectively, each receives a 20% discount. The discount rises to 25% if ten or more libraries are sponsors.

We still love Wowbrary and all that you guys offer. Thanks so much for creating such a great product that you continuously improve at an affordable price.

Will costs go up?

Thank you for keeping this product so affordable.

No. One way we as a non-profit strive to serve libraries and their communities is by keeping costs down. As part of that, we have pledged to not raise sponsorship amounts for existing sponsors. Ever. Furthermore, you will never be charged for extras like new features, technical support, or anything else.
