Pricing
No upfront cost; revenue-sharing model, exact percentages not publicly disclosed — pricing discussed on a demo call.
NudgeAI is an engagement widget for online publishers, built by Candela Labs — a company that, per its About page, also operates its own content properties, NewsBytes and DevBytes. NudgeAI watches real-time reading behavior (scroll velocity, cursor hesitation, reading speed) to predict roughly 3 seconds before a reader would bounce, then contextually surfaces one of four interactive modules: a quiz, a poll, a recommendation carousel, or an AI-generated 60-second article summary. It installs as a one-line JavaScript snippet and is described as working with any CMS or custom stack, naming WordPress, Shopify, and Ghost specifically; a dedicated WordPress plugin is also available. The company describes the product as GDPR-friendly with no PII collection. There is no self-serve pricing page — prospective customers are directed to book a 15-minute demo call, after which pricing is structured as a revenue share with no upfront cost.
