Public prices involving TollBit
- TollBit bot paywall: share of the publisher's own per-page rate that the publisher receives
The AI customer, not the publisher, pays TollBit's transaction fee, and the page gives no percentage for it. TollBit's rate guide says the same thing in other words: it takes no percentage of the publisher's rates and no revenue share. The cost to the buyer is therefore the publisher's rate plus a fee of unstated size.

- TollBit bot paywall: monthly earnings of the publisher sites that have made money from it (nearly 20% of a network of nearly 7,000 sites)
Stated by TollBit's chief executive to Digiday. It is money paid by AI companies per page fetched, at rates each publisher sets, not the purchase of an archive. The article does not say what the other sites earned or how the range is spread, so the typical site cannot be read from it.
