# Our fees

URL: https://sellmydatatoai.net/fees

No upfront fees, no listing fees, no retainers. We are paid when a deal you have chosen completes.

## Key takeaways

- Sellers pay nothing to be assessed. We charge a success fee only when a deal completes, and the fee is agreed in writing before we introduce you to any buyer.
- Buyers pay nothing to submit a requirement or review a shortlist. Any fee is agreed in writing before an introduction.
- We are independent of the buyers we work with. We do not own an AI model and we do not buy data for our own use.

## For sellers

Sellers pay nothing to be assessed. We charge a success fee only when a deal completes, and the fee is agreed in writing before we introduce you to any buyer.

- The consultation, valuation and rights pre-check are free.
- Our fee is a success fee, calculated on the value of a completed license.
- The rate and how it is calculated are set out in writing before we introduce you to any buyer.
- If no deal completes, you pay nothing.

## For buyers

Buyers pay nothing to submit a requirement or review a shortlist. Any fee is agreed in writing before an introduction.

## How this compares

Published fees across the market vary widely. Opendatabay's commission is tiered from 5% to 30% of the sale price, according to a February 2026 guide on GISuser. FileYield's FAQ states 8% for sellers and 6% for buyers. SellMyData takes a commission only when a sale closes but does not publish the rate. Some training-data companies such as Mercor charge sellers nothing and cover extraction costs, because they are the buyer.

## Why a success fee

A success fee means we are only paid when you are, and only on a deal you chose. It also means we have a reason to tell you early if your data is unlikely to sell, rather than charging you to find out.
