Pricing by exchange type
Exonome provides Exchange infrastructure that can operate as a Discovery Exchange, Connection Exchange, or Marketplace — depending on whether paid offerings and transactions are enabled.
You only pay for the capabilities your Exchange actually uses — not for scale, volume, or speculative growth.
Discovery is free · Connection from $149/mo · Marketplace from $349/mo — annual billing lowers Connection to $127/mo and Marketplace to $297/mo. Platform Operator is $2,999/mo for unlimited exchanges.
Choose Monthly or Yearly pricing. Annual pricing includes a commitment discount.

Common questions
How is Exonome priced?
Pricing is based on how an Exchange operates — Discovery Exchanges, Connection Exchanges, and Marketplace Exchanges — depending on whether coordination or paid transactions are enabled.
Is there a free option?
Yes. Discovery Exchanges are free up to early validation thresholds. They're designed for surfacing resources, validating demand, and capturing inbound interest — without coordination or transactions.
When do I need to upgrade from Discovery?
Only when activity grows, or when you want additional branding, routing, or coordination capabilities. Discovery can remain free until those needs arise.
What is a Connection Exchange?
A Connection Exchange supports multiple providers and enables coordination, inquiries, and introductions without enabling transactions. It's designed for ecosystems and networks before monetization.
What enables a Marketplace Exchange?
Marketplace Exchanges enable paid offerings, checkout, payments, and payouts. Providers become sellers, and transactions are introduced intentionally — without removing discovery or connection capabilities.
Are transactions required on Exonome?
No. Exchanges can remain discovery- or connection-based indefinitely without enabling transactions.
Can I run multiple Exchanges or Marketplaces?
Yes. Exonome supports running multiple Exchanges and Marketplaces under a single white-labeled platform, allowing operators to reach different audiences and launch new programs without duplicating infrastructure.
Do transaction fees apply?
Transaction fees apply only to Marketplace Exchanges and are based on the economics configured by the Exchange operator. Discovery and Connection Exchanges do not include transaction fees.
