Pricing
Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor, and additional usage. You pay upfront or in installments according to your contract terms with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. Usage-based pricing is in effect for overages or additional usage not covered in the contract. These charges are applied on top of the contract price. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before the contract end date, access to your entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
Dimension | Cost/12 months | Overage cost |

Dimensions summary
Yellowdig Engage uses a single pricing dimension: the Engaged User. This is a contract-based model, so you commit to a set quantity of Engaged Users for your term. Your cost scales with the number of Engaged Users you buy, rather than by features or seat count. Engage supports academic settings such as course communities and faculty communities. Because there is one dimension, there are no tiers or add-ons to compare. You size your purchase to the number of learners you expect to engage across your programs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
An Engaged User is a learner who participates in a Yellowdig Engage community, such as a course or faculty community. You are billed by the number of users you expect to engage, not by seats purchased or features enabled. You size your commitment to your program's active learner count.
You commit upfront to a set quantity of Engaged Users for your contract term. The rate is fixed per Engaged User for that term. Your total cost scales with the quantity you buy. There are no usage-based hourly charges and no feature tiers to add on.
The listing bills for a set quantity of Engaged Users you commit to for the term. Because there is one dimension with no published overage rule, contact Yellowdig to confirm how additional learners beyond your committed quantity are handled and priced.

What do you like best about the product?
Here's what my students say:

"I /really/ like using Yellowdig, and I think that it's a really good way to understand concepts through other student's responses."

What do you dislike about the product?
Needs an easy archiving solution: a way for the instructor to download a record of the conversations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It gets students engaged and they don't just crank out rote answers.

What do you like best about the product?
Yellowdig is easy to configure and integrates well my institution's LMS. The customer support from the Yellowdig team is top notch, truly some of the best I've ever seen.
I used Yellowdig in my online asynchronous course and also led a team of faculty using it across different disciplines and course modalities. I have been teaching the same introductory course for the past 6 years using standard discussion boards. The Yellowdig community was a game changer for my students, which was evident from the introductory discussion. The gamification and ease of use meant that students were able to create multimedia discussions with pictures, video, links, and emojiis that really added to the community discussion. Posts and replies were creative and demonstrated critical thinking skills as students engaged with the content and with each other more readily than I've observed with a standard discussion platform. Yellowdig was also featured prominently in my course evaluations because students overwhelmingly loved it. I can't imagine teaching this course without Yellowdig in the future.

What do you dislike about the product?
Yellowdig is great, there is nothing I dislike. The biggest challenge to using Yellowdig is changing your mindset as an instructor to let the students lead the discussion. I also wish there was a dedicated mobile app with push notifications, but that's not a dislike, just a wish list item for the product roadmap.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating a fun and engaging community is a challenge in an online asynchronous class, especially in a larger class (50-100 students). As an instructor, it's not fun to grade discussion boards where most students are providing perfunctory responses to prompts. Yellowdig solves that issue, too. I can now spend my time engaging with students as they connect the course material to their lived experiences. Yellowdig's point earning gamification makes participation safe for my more introverted students, and students have choice in how they engage with the community to earn points. Most importantly, students are able to "find their people" in the class which helps support student retention and completion.

Yellowdig revolutionized my experience with online learning

What do you like best about the product?
What passed for online discussion in my Canvas discussion boards made me question the value of online learning. From the first day of class after adopting Yellowdig, I have been amazed and encouraged by what is possible when students take the lead. And, not having to grade discussion posts has really freed me up to use the platform to do what I love to do, which is share my passion for philosophy and connect with learners in my class. I’m having the most fun I ever have teaching online.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's hard to think of a downside to using Yellowdig. There are definitely challenges to learning a new platform and getting students on-board with trying something new, but not only was it far less difficult to learn than I expected, Yellowdig has an amazing support team available to assist with the entire process. If only learn any new tech tool could be so effortless!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Yellowdig helps generate engagement with users. My students are happy when they engaging course content in a way that is flexible to their needs and allows them to express their creativity. My students are fulfilling our learning goals and find greater satisfaction with the course. This benefits me as their instructor because I'm happy when my students are happy. Teaching engaged, empowered learners is far more professionally and spiritually rewarding than teaching apathetic and mildly annoyed participants in my class.
