Pricing Details

As part of its Enterprise Networks plans, Pressbooks offers advanced, customized solutions for educational institutions, universities, and academic consortia to manage digital publishing at scale, complete with powerful tools for creating and sharing interactive educational content. The plans are divided into two main types: 🔹 Institutional Network Suitable for a single institution, starting at approximately $5,999 per year and covering up to 10 books. It provides the institution with a branded publishing platform, supporting an unlimited number of authors, integration with Learning Management Systems (LMS), detailed analytics on content usage, and the ability to connect with Single Sign-On (SSO). This plan focuses on enabling a single institution to manage a comprehensive publishing program within a secure and easy-to-manage environment. 🔹 Shared Network Designed for consortia or multiple institutions, starting at $15,999 per year for a minimum of two institutions and up to 45 books. It allows for the management of multiple institutions within a single network, with the ability to set book limits for each institution and distribute permissions among network administrators and participating institutions, while offering the same publishing, analytics, and educational integration features found in the Institutional Network. In general, both options offer powerful features such as secure hosting, unlimited users, branding customization, content distribution to global discovery libraries, and advanced usage analytics, but the key difference lies in the scale of use: Institutional = One institution Shared = Multiple institutions within a single system If you’d like, I can provide a brief comparison between Pressbooks and BookFunnel from an author’s perspective 👍
