Core subscriptions
Business Starter, Business Pro, Venue Operations, Association & Network, and Enterprise plans.
ASCA COMMERCIAL MODEL
Commercial revenue sustains
free student access.
External, non-academic organizations pay for useful software and services. ASCA subscription revenue, standalone product revenue, and optional service revenue remain separate from memberships, tickets, products, dining, bookings, rentals, donations, sponsorships, and other funds owned by participating organizations.
REVENUE SOURCES
Several commercial relationships
with different terms and cost drivers.
Standalone products
Independent A.M.A.R., M.A.C.R.O., and future product-specific plans or usage.
Marketplace terms
Disclosed platform or application fees where enabled and contractually appropriate.
Optional operational services
SMS, streaming, storage, printing, hardware, dedicated support, or other measurable high-cost services.
Professional services
Setup, migration, configuration, training, implementation, and onsite support.
Partner and network services
Approved commercial network, sponsorship, referral, analytics, or program-administration services.
REVENUE SEPARATION
Software revenue and organization funds
must remain distinct.
Core plan, standalone product, metered usage, implementation, or optional service.
Membership, event, food, product, booking, rental, service, donation, sponsorship, or vendor transaction.
PRICING PRINCIPLES
Charge for meaningful capability
and measurable cost.
Student Free is an organization mission program, not a per-student lead-generation model.
A.M.A.R. and M.A.C.R.O. retain independent pricing and cost boundaries.
Payment processing, messaging, storage, hardware, printing, or onsite services should not be hidden.
Customers consume documented units tied to visible work, with included capacity and additional charges shown before purchase.
Bundle the common workflow and reserve usage charges for genuine marginal cost.
Plans should support reliable processing, responsible retention, payment handling, dispute resolution, and responsive customer support.
NO DATA-SALE MODEL
Businesses buy operational value.
Student identity is not advertising inventory.
Commercial organizations receive the capabilities, partner relationships, eligibility decisions, transactions, and aggregate outcomes required by approved workflows. They do not purchase unrelated private member lists, organization histories, or user profiles.
Build a sustainable platform without weakening the student mission.
Core plans, standalone products, transaction terms, optional services, and professional support remain separately understandable and tied to real value or cost.
