One account, every library.

The same sign-in whether you borrow books or run the library. What you see afterwards depends on what your libraries have given you.

Some libraries have their own sign-in. If yours does, sign in from your library's page rather than with a password here.
Pricing

One product. You pay for size.

Nothing is held back on the cheaper plans. A fifty-reader library gets exactly what a five-thousand-reader one gets — the same catalog tools, the same apps, the same white labelling. The only thing that changes is how many readers you serve.

Up to 50 readers
$0forever

A real plan, not a trial. Enough for a village shelf, a small congregation or one person's collection.

Choose

Billed yearly is two months free. Card, invoice or purchase order. Every plan here covers one organisation — a trust, a school group or a council with several libraries is set up with us directly.

In every plan, including free

The whole product, at every size.

Your own catalog

Upload EPUB, PDF, audio and scans with no storage cap. Import CSV, ONIX or MARC records. We never charge for books we didn't supply.

Open collections

Standard Ebooks and the Open Textbook Library, taken by subject. Ask us for sources we don't carry yet.

Your name, not ours

Your logo, colours and copy on every page a reader sees — on the free plan too.

The DITA app

iOS, Android and desktop. Readers pick your library inside it and it takes on your branding.

Real lending

Loans, returns and renewals, with reading position and notes following the reader across devices.

Your own sign-in

Email and password today. Single sign-on with Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra or SAML — so access follows role and department — is on the roadmap after launch.

Your own domain

Point a subdomain at us and readers never see dita.digital. Certificates are handled for you.

Portable records

Catalogue records, collections, reader list and loan history export in open formats whenever you want them.

How we count

Readers, not books.

Everyone with access to your library counts toward your plan, whether they read this month or not. There is no activity threshold to argue about at renewal.

  • Stocking more never costs more. We don't charge by title or by gigabyte, so adding your whole back catalogue changes nothing.
  • Codes run out on their own. Where readers join from a printed code — a bedside, a waiting room, a classroom — that access expires on its date and stops counting. Your number settles at the size you actually serve.
  • Move whenever you like. Up or down, prorated, no renegotiation.
If money is the problem

Someone else can pay.

Charities, NGOs, closed and secure settings and public health services can apply for a sponsored place, where a funder covers the cost instead of the library.

  • The library applies, not the funder. You tell us who you serve and why the budget isn't there.
  • Credit, not control. A sponsor is named on your home screen. They never influence what's in the catalog and never see reading data.
  • Same product. A sponsored library is not a cut-down one.
Beyond self-serve

When it stops being a plan and becomes a conversation.

Past 5,000 readers, or when any of the following apply, we set you up directly. There's no list price because none of it is the same job twice.

More than one organisation

A trust, a school group, a council or a ministry running several libraries under one account.

Your own app

Published under your name in the app stores, rather than readers using the DITA app.

Publisher licences

Hosting commercial titles you license directly, under the terms you agreed.

Sovereign hosting

A specific region, your own infrastructure, or a procurement process with its own requirements.

Questions

What people ask about the bill.

Is the free plan a trial?

No. It doesn't expire and it isn't cut down. If you serve fifty readers, it's simply your plan.

What if we go over?

We tell you and you move up. Nothing switches off, and we don't bill you retroactively for a month you didn't agree to.

Do you charge for storage?

No. Upload as much as you like, in any format. Charging for storage would mean charging you for books we never supplied.

Can we pay by invoice?

Yes, on any paid plan. Purchase orders too, if your finance team needs one.
