# Choose an integration model

> **TL;DR** — Almost every app uses the **standard model**: your server syncs Wandura's catalog and asks Wandura for a playback ticket each time a viewer plays an episode. A second, **managed model** exists only for apps operated by the Wandura group under a separate agreement. A third, **open video** path for content with no rights to protect (for example fitness clips) is [coming soon](https://docs.wandura.ai/developers/open-video). If you are not sure, you are on the standard model — start with the [integration guide](https://docs.wandura.ai/developers/integration-guide).

## Compare the models
|  | **Standard model** (all partner apps) | **Managed model** (apps operated by the Wandura group) | **Open video** (coming soon) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who uses it | Any partner app with a licence | Only apps run by the Wandura group, by separate agreement | Apps showing videos with no rights to protect (fitness…) |
| Where the film list comes from | Your server polls the Wandura [catalog API](https://docs.wandura.ai/developers/reference/catalog) | Delivered to your team by Wandura's content team | `GET /api/delivery/v1/videos` with a `videos:read` key |
| Who issues playback tickets | Wandura, per episode, through the [playback API](https://docs.wandura.ai/developers/reference/playback) | Your own backend, set up together with Wandura | No tickets — plain video links |
| Licence checks | On every ticket, automatically | Agreed in the contract | Per organisation (collections granted to you) and per key |
| Usage reporting | Recorded by Wandura on every ticket | Agreed in the contract | Not per play |
| Paywall, free episodes, VIP | Your app | Your app | Your app |
| Player | The Player SDK licensed to you by Wandura | The Player SDK licensed to you by Wandura | Any standard player — no SDK licence |

## Which one should I use?

Use the **standard model**. It needs no special set-up beyond an API key, your licence is checked for you on every play, and Wandura can add films to your catalog or end them without any change on your side.

The managed model is not offered to external partners. It exists for apps that Wandura's group runs itself, where content operations are shared between the teams.
