Pricing

No Per-User Fees. No Feature Tiers. Pay for the Workforce You Run.

Three ways to run your sports event workforce. Every customer gets the full platform, the difference is how much work you want on your plate. A setup fee gets you live. After that, you only pay when an event is actually running.

How Pricing Works

Three Components.
No Subscriptions.

Your total cost is built from three simple parts. You only pay when you're running an event. There are no monthly subscriptions, no per-seat fees, and no annual contracts to lock you in.

01

Workforce Setup

One-time fee to configure your account, onboard your team, and launch your first event in the platform.

  • Event & staff configuration
  • Workflow setup
  • Team onboarding & training
  • Support for your first event
One-time, upfront fee
02

Workforce Usage

Pricing scales with the number of staff working your event — not the number of users in the platform.

  • Self-Service: confirmed assignments
  • + Payroll: confirmed assignments
  • Full Service: staff who check in & work
Per event · Quote on call
03

Payments & 1099s

If you're using us to run payroll, this covers staff payouts, W-9 collection, 1099 generation, and compliance.

  • Direct deposit to staff
  • W-9 collection
  • Year-end 1099 distribution
  • Tax compliance

Built for Sports Operations

Replace the Stack.

Most tournaments today are run on a tangle of disconnected tools. Scheduling apps, spreadsheets, payroll providers, and hundreds of manual group texts. We replace all of it with one, integrated platform built for sports.

Real Questions, Real Answers

Pricing Q&A

"What are the actual prices?"

Every event is different. The number of staff, the service level, whether you're using us to run payroll — these are the things that move the price up or down. Rather than publishing numbers that don't apply to your event, a 30-minute call gets you a real quote based on your actual workforce. No pressure, no obligation. Just a number you can plan around.

Event-based pricing — not per-user, not per-feature, not per-seat. Your cost depends on:

  • The number of staff working your event
  • Which service level you choose (Self-Service, +Payroll, or Full Service)
  • Whether you're using us to handle payments

No long-term contracts. No subscriptions. You pay when you run an event.

Yes. Every customer gets the full platform — staffing tools, marketplace access, scheduling, assignments, communication tools, Teddy, the Messaging Hub, all of it. The only thing that changes between tiers is how much support you want from our team.

You'll see two charges:

  • Upfront setup fee — one-time, when you sign up
  • Workforce usage fee — invoiced around the start of each event, based on your final confirmed staffing

If you're using us for payments, payment processing is handled separately as a percentage of total payments.

No problem. Your final cost is based on your confirmed staffing right before the event. You can add or remove staff in the portal as your event evolves — pricing adjusts to match what you actually run.

Because event staffing requires planning and coordination, cancellations may incur a fee based on how close to the event the cancellation happens and the workforce already committed. We're sports people too — we'll always work with you when plans change. The specifics get covered on your initial call.

If you're using us for payments, staff are paid in 48 hours after you approve payment. Funds flow via direct deposit. Credit card payments process immediately and settle in 2 business days; ACH payments process in 1–2 business days.

Anytime. Most customers start in one tier and adjust as their event volume grows. Some run Self-Service for their smaller events and Full Service for their flagship — and that's perfectly normal. Tell us what you need before each event and we'll match the service level to it.

No. The Stipend Marketplace is optional — you can bring your own staff, use our marketplace, or do both. Same with payments — you can pay staff directly outside the platform if you'd rather, though most operators find the time savings worth the processing fee.
