What to confirm before you sign

Episource publishes 4 of the 8 fields in the Content Hub rubric. Across all 270 vendors profiled in the Content Hub, the median is 5 of 8. Of the four it leaves unpublished, these two matter most.

  1. How do you charge — per page, per file, per hour, or per seat?
    Get the unit before you scope a pilot. A per-hour or per-seat quote and a per-page quote behave very differently once a file runs past 1,000 pages.
    Pricing model56% of all profiled vendors leave this unpublishedOurs: flat per page, no seats, no subscription
  2. What does a real 1,000-page file cost, all in?
    Ask for a worked example rather than a rate card. Duplicate pages, rush fees and monthly minimums are where the quoted rate and the final invoice separate.
    Indicative cost82% of all profiled vendors leave this unpublishedOurs: from 10¢ to as low as 5¢ a page, duplicates free

The other seven questions, and what all 270 profiled vendors do and do not publish, are in the evaluation guide.
