Illustrative pricing

Examples for publishers, buyers, and agentic retrieval.

Agora pricing is designed around asset type, customer type, and license scope. The examples below are not a final price list: they show how different catalogs and retrieval rights can be structured.

Asset type

Articles, images, video, audio, scans, and premium bundles all settle differently.

Customer type

Agents, personal API users, aggregators, and institutional desks do not buy the same way.

License scope

Consultation, product use, resale, and training rights create a rights ladder rather than one flat price.

For publishers

How a publisher can receive money across different asset mixes.

These wide examples show how payouts can differ for a newsroom, freelance journalist, photographer, institution, or corporate content desk. Each one mixes low-cost, high-volume retrieval with more premium rights and formats.

Examples by customer type and license scope.

Buyer-side pricing can be separated by who is consuming the content, then subdivided by what they are allowed to do with it: consult it, use it in a product, resell it, or train on it.
