What Clickshare costs publishers
Individual site
A publisher or other owner of copyrighted content must obtain a licensed copy of the Clickshare Publishing Server Software (see Technical requirements to run Clickshare on your server). This software is available free from Clickshare Corp. and may also be bundled with commercial Internet server products. This enhanced server permits user registration and profiling at stand-alone sites.To use Clickshare's cross-server validation, third-party auditing (access-tracking) and transaction processing facilities, publishers must become members and licensees of the Clickshare Access and Payment Service (CAPS). This enables access to our aggregation and settlement service and receipt of royalties for the publisher's copyrighted content accessed by Clickshare-enabled users worldwide. We call such enrolled publishers Clickshare Publishing Members.
This page includes the most recent schedule of prices for Clickshare; it supercedes previous schedules. Until Clickshare begins settling transactions, some of the issues surrounding pricing are not yet finalized
The Publishing Member/license charges include:
- A one-time member enrollment and system license fee of $1,995.00
- An annual fee of $3 per user for each user the publisher enrolls in the Clickshare service, payable quarterly, for each of the first 10,000 end-users who register to use Clickshare through their site, with a declining per-user fee schedule above that level. Contact Clickshare Corp. for fees above the first 10,000 users.
The maximum tracking fee from Clickshare to Publishing Members who wish to measure Clickshare-enabled access to their information for audience-measurement purposes, but who are not charging for content, is $0.01 (one cent) per URL accessed as a "clickstream" aggregation fee.
Clickshare Corp. charges no fees directly to end-users. The end-user relationship is the exclusive domain of the Publishing Member who "owns" that user. The user need only enter into a relationship with a Publishing Member and use a standard Web browser.
Multiple Site License
Digital publishing services, rights-management organizations or enterprise network administrators may license the Clickshare Access and Payment Service (CAPS) backend server software to perform user authentication, access tracking and other customizable services which do not generally require authentication across the entire World Wide Web. Pricing of this license starts at $100,000 plus $0.25 (25 cents) per enabled user per year and $0.0025 per "page" (response to a URL request) served, assessed quarterly.Contact Bill Densmore <densmore@newshare.com> for more details on sublicenses.
