WSO2, a provider of enterprise digital infrastructure, has introduced a new initiative called ‘Fair Pricing for Governments.’ The program is designed to help public-sector organizations worldwide access high-quality, ethical digital services at prices that match their country’s economic conditions.

The initiative ensures that government technology fees are proportional to the average citizen’s income. This approach promotes fairness and transparency. By standardizing pricing for government customers, WSO2 seeks to reduce corruption and remove financial barriers to adoption.

Dr. Sanjiva Weerawarana, Founder and CEO of WSO2, said, “Fair pricing must reflect the economic context in which governments operate. We are taking steps toward equitable digital modernization globally.”

The program uses an index-based pricing method. Fees are aligned with World Bank Country Income Classifications. W3C government membership fees serve as the baseline. Countries can receive standardized discounts. High-income countries get 20%, upper-middle-income countries 35%, lower-middle-income countries 50%, and low-income countries 62%.

Discounts apply only to official government entities funded by taxpayers. Public-private partnerships are excluded to maintain transparency. WSO2 will continue to offer professional services at standard commercial rates.

Prices under this initiative are predictable. Annual increases are capped at 5%, allowing governments to plan digital investments confidently. This ensures affordability and sustainability for long-term digital transformation.

WSO2’s Fair Pricing for Governments initiative is now live globally. Governments can access high-quality, ethical digital services at fair prices.
