freemium access model

freemium access model is a pricing model where basic lookups are free but bulk, analytical or commercial-grade versions of the same data are paid products. Of the 1,744 datasets Datadory catalogs, NAICS Association - NAICS 42 Wholesale Trade Code Directory and BauerFinancial Bank Star Ratings both document it in their listings.

In this catalog it shows up concretely:

• NAICS Association - NAICS 42 Wholesale Trade Code Directory — One row per NAICS code from 2-digit sector down to 6-digit national industry; web scraping delivery, quality score 6/10, freemium.
• BauerFinancial Bank Star Ratings — One rating per insured institution per quarter; web scraping delivery, quality score 6/10, freemium.
• Nasdaq Data Link (formerly Quandl) — Real-time and delayed tick/quote data on the streaming and real-time APIs; daily time-series rows on the v3 datasets API; row-level entity records (per ticker per period) on tables products; official API delivery, quality score 8/10, freemium.

Both the NAICS code directory and BauerFinancial's ratings use it, with paid tiers spanning data appends, APIs and $24-$78 reports.

Licence terms are part of the price. A dataset whose terms forbid your use case is not a bargain - it is unusable, and you find out after building on it.

In this catalog, NAICS Association - NAICS 42 Wholesale Trade Code Directory carries "Site content proprietary to NAICS Association LLC; NAICS code system itself is a US government standard free of copyright" at freemium cost. Demand wording that specific from any vendor before signing; vague "commercial use allowed" promises are where audits start.
