What the product covers
The full IngramSpark feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
Other
- Ingram catalogue distribution
- Global print on demand
- Discount and returns settings
- Hardback and colour printing
- Ebook distribution
- Author copies at cost
People bring IngramSpark in for an author who wants independent bookshops and libraries to be able to order the book on normal trade terms rather than only through amazon, a small press that needs hardback and colour formats printed on demand without holding stock, a non-fiction author selling at conferences and events who wants author copies at print cost and trade distribution from the same title record, a publisher printing for international readers who needs local manufacturing in the uk or australia to avoid shipping costs killing the margin. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to IngramSpark are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Before you pay for IngramSpark
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: a single tier at On request. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare IngramSpark against the tools that do have one before committing.
IngramSpark runs on web, and is published by Ingram Content Group of La Vergne, Tennessee, United States. The full record is on the IngramSpark review, and the rest of the category is under best publishing tools.
