Plans
How a reserve account is priced
Two components, always: a platform subscription for holding and operating the reserve, and a fulfilment charge for each protected delivery. What changes between plans is the support, the integration depth and whether video is in scope.

Why there are no numbers on this page
Fulfilment pricing turns on catalogue size, format mix, delivery region and expected download volume, and video pricing turns on bandwidth rather than titles. A number printed here would be wrong for most of the people reading it. Tell us the volume and we will quote against it in writing, in INR or USD.
Commercial terms
How the agreement works
- Non-exclusive
- You keep selling through every other channel you use. Nothing here is exclusive to DMR.
- Monthly subscription
- A platform fee, invoiced monthly, covering the reserve and its operation.
- Per-unit fulfilment
- A charge for each unique fulfilment — download and activation — by an end user.
- Periodic invoicing
- Invoices raised on a periodic basis and settled on the agreed cycle. GST applies to Indian entities.
- Content policy
- Publishers remain responsible for rights and for legal compliance in the territories they sell into.
- Retained inventory
- We hold titles for customers who already bought them, even after you withdraw the title from sale.
Send us the volume and we will send you the number.
Catalogue size, formats, channels, expected monthly downloads, and hours of video if that is in scope.
