Pricing
Local Public offers apps-as-a-service via annual subscription, with a one-year minimum and optional auto-renew.
Pricing is on a sliding scale, based on station size, as measured by number of Passport-eligible members.
We hate pricing uncertainty. So we offer a three-year price lock for all stations that sign up before June 30, 2025. (Prices may decrease, but will not go up.)
We also hate tech platform lock-in. So after the first year, stations are free to export their data and download their front-end app code to use as they please. (Apps would require back-end.)
FY25 pricing
Pricing valid through June 30, 2025 (sign up in FY25, launch any time in FY26).
