Q. Does OpenAthens provide low-cost options for smaller institutions with limited subscriptions?

Answer...

Yes. OpenAthens offers a low-cost option called OpenAthens Connect, designed for smaller institutions, limited budgets, or organizations managing a smaller number of digital subscriptions. An annual subscription for Connect starts at 825 USD.

OpenAthens Connect provides secure single sign-on access to online resources without the complexity or cost of a full access management platform, making it suitable for libraries with basic access needs.

For organizations with more complex environments or larger collections, OpenAthens Compass offers a premium, fully supported solution with greater flexibility and personalized guidance.
