How is pricing for SHIPTools determined?
SHIPTools pricing is based on a licensing fee that allows a program access for their users for a one year timeframe. This licensing fee is based on a sliding-scale that corresponds to the amount of effort involved in site administration and maintenance. HAP secures philanthropy to offer SHIPTools at a considerably reduced rate to SHIPs based on this sliding scale. SHIPTools pricing is not based on access to functionality because HAP wants a way to make improvements and new developments of SHIPTools to be as widely available as possible when for example, HAP is able to secure foundation funding to develop new ways for the system to help meet SHIP needs.
