The options

What people compare Klopotek with

Klopotek's published cloud offers for association members start at US$400 a month for two full users and one read-only user, plus US$75 a month for each extra user, or US$4,800 a year before extra users. Other pricing is quoted privately. Owners look for alternatives because the bill grows with each user and the system separates contracts, royalty accounting and rights into different apps.

How to choose

How to choose a Klopotek alternative

  1. 1

    What drives the bill

    Check whether your bill follows users, usage or a fixed fee. Klopotek's published member offers charge monthly for two full users and one read-only user, then add a monthly charge for each extra user. Ask for the full quote and what changes when your team grows.

  2. 2

    Who owns your records

    Ask where your records sit and what you can take with you. With an owned version, your records sit in a database you own. Check what data can be brought across and what stays behind before you decide to switch.

  3. 3

    How well it fits your rules

    List the fields and rules your business relies on, including contract terms, royalty rates and local obligations. Klopotek separates contracts, royalty accounting, recipients, rights sales and rights accounting into different apps. Compare that with a version built around how your business works.

  4. 4

    What switching involves

    Ask what data needs to move and what will remain in Klopotek. Titles can come from your metadata export, while contracts and carried balances can come from a royalty schedule spreadsheet. A test run lets you check the data before anything changes. Statement history stays in Klopotek or as PDFs.

The option that fits
