Portico — $1,500-$25,462/yr scaled; 1,076 publishers and 1,288 supporting libraries

Portico institutional membership ranges $1,500-$25,462 per year, scaled to library budget. The consortium reports 1,076 participating publishers and 1,288 supporting libraries in its 2023 Year in Review.

For C-0030, Portico's pricing reinforces the surviving-consortium pattern: proportional, scale-aware fees with a low entry point ($1,500 floor) that admits small-library participation while still aggregating enough total revenue to sustain operations across publisher and library customer bases. The combined membership volume — over 2,300 organizational participants — is the economic base that the continuous-operation pattern in C-0030 depends on.
