Opendatabay Marketplace - Platform Fees and Pricing Structure

Transaction Fees and Charges

Opendatabay applies a tiered commission structure on all dataset sales, API calls, and data access fees. The commission decreases as the transaction value increases, ensuring better rates for higher-value sales. After deducting the platform fee, the remaining balance is paid out to the Data Provider.

Please note:

  • Opendatabay does not charge any upfront listing fees. Fees are applied only on completed transactions.

  • All fees are calculated per individual dataset, API call, or access transaction, not cumulatively.
