Not the Oracle model.

We have been providing researchers with access to Spinn3r data for FREE for nearly two years now.

Actually, it’s not really free for us and costs us a lot of money to host them.

Kevin,

Hate to see TailRank go — but gud to see that Spinn3r is chugging. Long way since 2005!

Don’t give Kevin a hard time. Custom pricing can work the other way too.

“Our standard pricing is x”

“That’s more than what our budget is”

“Ok, well let’s work something out that meets ur budget as you’re working on an exciting product”

The difference here is Oracle is a big faceless company, Spinn3r is Kevin and his cool team.

Ah, yes. The Oracle model.

“How much does your product cost?”

…”how much ya got?”

Hey guys…. just request a spinn3r eval and give us some detail about your company and what your building.

Our pricing is always custom to the company.

Typo in the comment btw: should be “over” not “other.”

Congrats Kevin – looks great!

Anyone have any idea what the monthly pricing for Spinn3r looks like? Are we talking hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands?

Typo in the post btw: “SInce” … Also, Tailrank isn’t camel case ..

I’m very happy with how our research program is working out. We have other 100 research groups using our data now…
