FEH Web Service credit pricing will increase from the 3rd January 2023 to reflect recent inflation rate rises.

The FEH Web Service was launched in 2015 with a pay-as-you-go charging model replacing the previous FEH CD-ROM upfront three year licence fee. Income generated through the FEH Web Service pays for the maintenance and development of the web service platform itself and is also re-invested into the web service's underpinning scientific research base. Pricing for the FEH Web Service has remained unchanged since launch in 2015, but will rise for the first time in January 2023. The increase in pricing reflects the 12 month CPI rate increase at August 2022 of 10% and will be applied equally across all purchasing size bands.

The discounted rate for Educational and Research Use will not be increased.
