Frequently asked questions

Which plan is right for me?

On every plan you pay a share of what you sell. Revenue Share has no fixed cost. Growth and Enterprise add a platform cost in return for a lower commission, and on Enterprise that cost grows with your number of active publications.

When do I pay the $0.25 transaction charge?

On every successful transaction your shop processes through publica.la.

What if my catalogue has more than 10,000 publications?

Write to us and we’ll agree terms that fit. The published Enterprise scale stops at 10,000 active publications.

What are manual assignments and 100% coupons?

It is what you pay each time you assign a title to a reader by hand or give one away with a 100%-off coupon, for review copies, redemptions or gifts. It ranges from $5.00 on Revenue Share to $1.00 on Enterprise.

Does publica Reader cost anything?

No. The web reader, the mobile app and the study tools are included in Revenue Share, Growth and Enterprise.

What if I publish as an individual author?

Then your plan is on publica.now, our product for independent authors and creators, which has its own plans and prices.

What does an annual contract get me?

On Growth and Enterprise, you get twelve months of service for ten monthly payments.

Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan later?

Yes, you can change your plan at any time. Upgrades are prorated for the remainder of your billing cycle.

Tell us what you want to sell.

In half an hour, we’ll work out together which plan fits your catalogue and how to get started. No commitment.
