AI data pricing guide: how licensing partners pay

What does getting paid actually look like? Here is what each partner publishes, in plain words. Nordic MarTech never pays you, holds your money or sets the price.

Via Nordic MarTech, an independent referrer. We may receive a referral fee; you pay nothing.

The four steps

  1. 1. You apply to the partner

    You fill in the partner's own form. Applying is free and does not commit you to anything.

  2. 2. The partner reviews your records

    They look at which software you use, how many years of records you hold and who owns them.

  3. 3. You get a written offer

    The amount and the payment schedule are set out in writing before anything leaves your firm. Only the partner can value your records.

  4. 4. You sign and share

    Records move only after you sign, through the partner's own secure process.

What each partner publishes

Ranges are the partners' own figures. They are indicative, not an offer, and only the partner can value your records.

How a Mode deal runs

  1. Step 1

    Week 1

    30-minute call, then a non-binding letter of intent with a mutual NDA.

  2. Step 2

    Weeks 1–2

    Short intake form, indicative range, then a fixed offer in the data licence agreement.

  3. Step 3

    After signing

    Your team uploads copies of the agreed systems within 10 days.

  4. Step 4

    Review

    Mode reviews and de-identifies; you can audit a sample.

Mode said it may revisit your data about 12 months later for a follow-on licence.

Exclusive licence

  • Mode licenses to its AI customer on an exclusive basis.
  • The company agrees not to sell or license the same data for external AI training for 24 months.
  • The AI customer is bound by confidentiality and barred from trying to identify anyone.
  • Choosing Mode means the same data can't go to micro1 for AI training for 24 months, so pick one partner per dataset.

Review exclusivity terms and compare partners before you sign.

Mode licenses the data on an exclusive basis: the company agrees not to sell or license the same data for external AI training for 24 months.

An application is not a payment commitment

Is a published range an offer?
No. Only a written offer after review counts.
Why doesn't this page estimate a value?
Only the partner can value your records. Mode's own site has an indicative estimator; any figure becomes real only in a written offer.
Do our originals stay with us?
Originals stay with the company; partners agree systems and date ranges before any export.

Check before you sign

  • Who owns the records and can sign for the firm.
  • Which records and dates are included, and whether any are excluded.
  • Whether the licence is exclusive, and for how long.
  • How personal details are removed before records are used.
  • When and how payment is made, as written in the agreement.

This is general guidance, not legal or financial advice. Ask your own adviser before signing.
