    Frames Data Subscription

    I'm looking to get some info on the cost of a subscription for frames data & frames data online. Our office uses it every day but the renewal price of $464/yr is awfully high. Is there a way around this cost or is this the only option? Please keep in mind our office is not high tech by any means

    The only "ways around it" will invite some legal trouble. Better cough it up! Since you do use it every day, it's worth it.

    That's like a buck fifty a day. I know things are tough in Pittsburg but a buck fifty a day?

    Totally worth it. Save somewhere else!

    Are you using it instead of Remote Tracing or instead of tracing your own frames in house for edging?

    I think you get a discount for going online only w/out the books

    Yeah, just pony up the bucks. It's a great resource, and hand-entering all of the frame information into your system is an unattractive option.
