Pricing

Pricing for The Global Gazetteer is dependent on the quantity and type of information that you need. We have included some examples here to show how our prices are calculated.

The pricing for the Global Gazetteer data is based upon an initial selection of records and then a price per updated field. The reason for this approach is twofold: 

Essentials:
Basic costs
Minimum charge
Volume discounts
Terms
Every customer wants different data
Each customer only requires an extract from the database, either a selection of records or a selection of fields

It’s rather like ordering a pizza -  you pay for the base and a basic topping, then pay per additional topping that you select.

Basic costs

The prices are calculated as follows:

Prices in £ sterling per 1,000 records Prices in Euros/1,000 Prices in US$/1,000 Per 1,000 basic records

£22.00

33.00 $33.00 A basic record includes the country, the place name plus one additional significant field
PLUS

£11.00

 16.50 $16.50 Per additional field added to basic records
