Clipping services charge a monthly service fee plus the cost of each clipping. The monthly fee varies depending on the number of publications monitored. You can expect to pay between $100-300 each month, plus $1.00 for each individual clipping.

Internet-based clipping services are generally less expensive, with some even offering their services free, but their coverage can be drastically limited since print mentions are not tracked.

Additional charges may be incurred if the clipping runs over multiple pages of a publication, or if you require coverage of foreign publications.
