Definition:

Number of subscriptions that have been either

• newly added to the Type.World system (first appearance)
• or updated with added fonts

Description:

For a commercial type publisher, a newly added subscription means either a sale to a completely new customer or the first access of a Type.World subscription by an existing customer. Therefore, this number will be a bit higher in the beginning of each publisher’s Type.World rollout. In the long run, first accesses of existing customers will vanish entirely and only new sales will count.

Added fonts normally means a new sale for an existing customer where new fonts are being added to an existing subscription.

Example Calculation:

For calculation of continuous costs, enter your average monthly number of sales.

Attention: You will have additional initial roll-out costs, because you need to create one subscription for each of your previously existing customers, which to Type.World appears technically the same as a new subscription for a new customer of yours. Therefore, make sure you initiate this initial onboarding of your previously existing customers within the 6 month free trial period.

Number of subscription updates that show a new font version for at least one of the fonts

Description:

For a commercial publisher, this normally means no added revenue, as font updates are normally published free of additional charge to customers. But they do put strain on Type.World resources and therefore need to be billed.

Example Calculation:

For an estimated calculation of continuous costs, enter the number of font updates you publish per month as well as the average number of your customers who hold access to that font. In other words, if your customers hold access to about 10% of your library on average, enter 10% of your total customers multiplied by the amount of font updates per month.

The example calculation will be a multiplication of the two values.

Number of monthly active users

Description:

Active users are users that open their Type.World App at least once per month and who hold at least one subscription originating from your API Endpoint. Active users cause real costs mainly on the messaging server that holds one connection per active user to send out update notifications. The reason this billing metric exists is mostly because of Free Font Websites who show no measurable resource consumption other than a potentially very high number of active users.

Note: In reality, your number of active users will be lower than your total amout of customers, but we don’t know by how many, so put the total amount here for worst-case scenario.

Number of monthly user data access via Type.World Sign-In, using the Basic scope

Description:

If you offer Type.World Sign-In to the users of your app or website accessing only the Basic scope (name, email, user ID), these are the number of times you access the user data endpoint using the access token you have previously received from Type.World Sign-In.

Normally, this number should correlate strongly with your monthly font sales.

Tokens that contain both Basic and Extended scopes are counted as Extended only (see below). The billed metric is the maximum number of tokens used per month on the user data endpoint. Multiple queries per month for the same token are billed only once.

Number of monthly user data access via Type.World Sign-In, using the Extended scope

Description:

If you offer Type.World Sign-In to the users of your app or website accessing the Extended scopes (billing address, VAT ID etc.), these are the number of times you access the user data endpoint using the access token you have previously received from Type.World Sign-In.

Normally, this number should correlate strongly with your monthly font sales.

Tokens that contain both Basic and Extended scopes are counted as Extended only. The billed metric is the maximum number of tokens used per month on the user data endpoint. Multiple queries per month for the same token are billed only once.
