Innovative License Model

According to the needs of the customers, YOOCHOOSE offers different licensing and support models. For customers who want to use a flexible service without investing in hardware and software, YOOCHOOSE offers a “software as a service” (SaaS) licensing model. If, however, deep integration within one's own IT operation is required, YOOCHOOSE continues to offer a classic software license.

Software as a Service

As in the field of online banner advertising, there will also be a trend toward transaction-based business models (like the "pay-per-click" models in online advertising) in the area of recommendation in the next few years, where the customer only pays for successful (i.e. sales-related) recommendations. Therefore, YOOCHOOSE already offers a pricing model that is based on the number of retrieved recommendations. The Recommendation Engine is hosted centrally by YOOCHOOSE. The clients can import their data via a web service into the system and retrieve recommendations flexibly. The price is calculated per thousand gathered recommendations and depends on the nature of the referred content and a quantity scale. This gives customers the option to use YOOCHOOSE recommendations without high initial investments. You need only pay for the services of YOOCHOOSE, where recommendations can be profitably used. Please request prices and quantity scales by contacting our sales force (info@yoochoose.com).

Classical License Model

Customers who may want to run the YOOCHOOSE solution in their own IT organization can purchase classical software licenses for the various usage scenarios of the YOOCHOOSE Recommendation Engine (Product). The license model is linked to the number of processors or application server on which the YOOCHOOSE Recommendation Engine will be used. To support the IT organization of the customer in delivering a sustainable operation of the YOOCHOOSE Recommendation Engine, YOOCHOOSE also offers support and maintenance. services. Please request prices for the different product models and the support contract by contacting our sales force (info@yoochoose.com)..
For large companies, YOOCHOOSE also offers an enterprise license on request and a customized solution (Professional Services).
