Crowd-sourcing
If you dont have enough data already in real-time, you can choose to collect additional information via crowd-sourcing. Many organizations already do so, via Telegram, WhatsApp or for instance Facebook messenger. We want to make this as easy for you as possible and allow crowd-sourcing via multiple platforms. For instance post the below options on your website or Facebook page, and find the results in the real-time FloodTags dashboard:
Pricing
We offer a subscription price that depends on the average number of incoming tags for your monitored topic and area. For the full-detail event reports we charge an hourly rate. You can request a quotation by emailing us at info@floodtags.com.
In some circumstances, for local end-users with small financial capacity (such as some NGO's), we apply the PWYC principle: Pay What You Can. We offer this in exceptional cases, to achieve maximum impact. Reach out to us to inquire about the possibilities.
