About Us
In 2010, Southwest Airlines was the nation's leading airline carrier, and was best known for its low prices along with its on time service. AtoZdatabases aims to become the Southwest of the Reference Industry by providing first class databases and services at affordable prices. We're having a lot of fun on our journey and we think it shows in our product and services.
How can AtoZdatabases be priced so much less than its primary competitor?
Like Southwest, AtoZdatabases won't nickel and dime customers for "extra baggage or snacks." There are no hidden fees for additional "modules." A subscription to AtoZdatabases includes every data element on every database we offer. AtoZdatabases works hard and smart to keep costs down and pass those savings on to our customers.
What did AtoZdatabases find in its market research?

I wanted to let you know that I was working the reference desk last week and had a patron inquire about a business. I couldn't find it in ReferenceUSA, but I knew it existed, so I tried it in your database and found it right away. I was really impressed.
