The Digital Library: DL Corporate Pricing
As of January 1, 2026, marking the flip to full open access, the ACM Digital Library offers Basic and Premium options to balance ACM’s mission of accessibility with the need to sustain publishing activities. Basic is a limited public access option. Premium is a complete research experience including the Guide to Computing Literature bibliographic database. ACM Books are sold separately.
Corporations can access Digital Library Premium through a subscription to ACM Open, which includes APC-free publishing, or Digital Library Premium only. ACM Open or Digital Library Premium are available for the same price.
2026 Corporate Pricing
To determine ACM Open/ Digital Library Premium subscription prices for new subscribers, tiering is determined by annual revenue and total staff. Renewal subscription prices will receive an inflationary price increase.
All subscriptions starting within the 2026 calendar year (January 1 to December 31) will receive 2026 pricing.
