De Gruyter Brill
Non-standard discount percentages: 80% off for low-income and 30% off for lower-middle income — not the usual 100%/50%. The Brill side uses EIFL partner countries, a different country set. Also runs a Subscribe to Open (S2O) model where some journals are free to all if libraries sustain subscriptions.
