Readerware currently offers three product lines:
Readerware (Books) - The tool for anyone who needs to maintain a collection of books. With auto-catalog, reports, loan tracker, integrated backup & restore, import/export and more.
Readerware (Music) - The same great features as Readerware but for music libraries, CDs, SACD, LPs etc.
Readerware (Video) - For video collectors, with support for DVDs, Blu-ray, VHS and LaserDiscs etc.
Each product line comes in three editions:
Standard Edition - This is the base product for a single user with auto-catalog, reports, loan tracker, integrated backup & restore, import/export and more. If in doubt, this is what you need.
Mobile Edition - This is Readerware for your desktop and supported mobile devices. It includes everything in standard edition and adds the ability to take your databases with you on your iPhone, iPad and Android phones and tablets.
Client/Server Edition - This version adds support for multiple users, external databases and includes the standalone loan client. It includes all the features of standard and mobile editions. The Readerware server allows multiple clients to access and update the Readerware database. The loan client is an additional client program for circulation management. External database access allows you to use other databases like MySQL etc. Available in 5 user and unlimited user versions.
You can purchase individual products or order a bundle of all three for substantial savings:
| Edition | Single Product | Three Product Bundle |
| Standard Edition | $39.95 | $74.95 |
| Mobile Edition | $49.95 | $84.95 |
| Client/Server Home Edition | $89.95 | $124.95 |
| Client/Server Enterprise Edition | $499.95 | $499.95 |
If you are unsure of future needs you can always upgrade later. For example if you only need to run Readerware on one computer now but might need to access your database from multiple computers in the future, you can order Standard Edition now and upgrade to Client/Server Edition if and when needed for the difference in price.
Prices are a one time charge and support is always free. We do charge for major upgrades, i.e. Readerware 3 to Readerware 4.
