A clear guide to how Edovo defines, counts, and prices each piece of content you upload.

On Edovo, content comes in many shapes—courses, podcasts, meditations, newsletters—but everything you upload is counted as an “item.” This article breaks down exactly what qualifies as one item, how item-based pricing works, and how to plan your submissions to get the most value from your publishing tier. 

Your cheat sheet for this article

• An item is a single, publishable unit of content on Edovo—whether it’s a podcast episode, a 6-lesson course, or a 10-minute meditation.

• Pricing is based on the number of items, not file size or lesson count.

• One item = one publishing slot. No matter how big or small.

• Additional hosting and maintenance fees apply annually based on your total number of items.

• An item is a single content card. If it has its own title, description, and icon, it counts as 1 item—no matter what’s inside.
  

Understanding Edovo’s Pricing: How Publishing and Hosting Fees Work

Edovo Publishing and Hosting & Maintenance Tiers

Edovo Content Publishing & Hosting Fees

1. Content Publishing Fee (One-Time)

The Content Publishing Fee is a one-time charge based on the number of items you publish on the Edovo platform during your contract year.

This fee includes:

• A content review to ensure appropriateness for a correctional audience
  
  

• Uploading, formatting, and tagging your content for Edovo’s system
  
  

• Publishing to all eligible correctional facilities
  
  

• Quality assurance to ensure your content performs well for our learners
  
  

What counts as one “item”?

Each piece of content counts as one item, whether it’s:

• A standalone course (1 item)
  
  

• A single MP4 sermon video (1 item)
  
  

• An MP3 audio podcast (1 item)
  
  

• A PDF newsletter (1 item)

Think of your publishing tier like a bucket you fill throughout the year. You can add items at any time during your contract year, up to the numerical limit of the tier you purchased.

• Ongoing hosting, storage, and secure distribution of your content

• Upkeep and support of your content for application updates, partner-requested changes, and learner support needs
