Multi-posting firm idibu has introduced an instant quote tool that displays the price of its software subscriptions publicly.

The widget can be found at www.idibu.com and will appear across a growing network of job boards. A revenue share scheme allows boards displaying the widget to be rewarded for successful referrals.

Steve Walker, idibu managing director, says: “We’re launching this as we feel for too long, agencies have been kept in the dark over the pricing of multi-posting systems. Talking to people that multi-post we’ve heard of similarly sized companies, say 20 consultants, both with the same supplier but paying vastly different amounts for exactly the same service - sometimes more than double.”
