How Pricing Works
Your total cost is based on two things:
-
Workforce Setup & Launch
A one-time fee gets your event workforce configured and ready to run.
This includes:
- Event and staffing setup
- Workflow configuration
- Onboarding and support for your first event -
Workforce Usage
Pricing scales based on the number of staff working your event and how you choose to run your workforce.
- Self-Serve → based on confirmed staff
- Self-Serve + Payments → based on confirmed staff
- Full Service → based on staff who check-in to work your event
Why organizers like this model
- Pay for usage, not software complexity
No per-seat fees, feature tiers, or tools you don’t use - Scale your events without changing your plan
Run 1 event or 100, pricing grows with your workforce, not your software - Predictable costs for every event
Know what you’ll spend based on staff and support, before your event runs - No surprises or hidden fees
Simple, transparent pricing with no add-ons, upgrades, or fine print - Choose how much work you take on and how much you don’t
Full service, self-serve, or somewhere in-between

When do I get charged?
Each event includes a one-time workforce set-up and launch when you sign-up.
The workforce usage fee is based on your final staffing and service level and is typically invoiced around the start of each event.
What is the workforce set-up and launch fee?
The workforce set-up and launch is a one-time fee that launches your event and workforce set-up inside Tourney Direct.
It covers:
- Event setup
- Workforce coordination
- Platform usage during planning
- On-boarding support for your first event
What happens if my event changes or staff count shifts?
No problem.
Your final cost is based on your confirmed staffing count prior to the event. You can adjust your staff needs directly in the portal as your event evolves.
What happens if I cancel my event?
Because event staffing requires coordination and planning:
- Cancellations may incur a fee based on your planned workforce and support level selected
We’ll always communicate clearly and work with you if plans change.
Why is pricing based on the number of staff?
Because staffing is what drives the complexity of your event.
Instead of charging per user or feature, we align pricing with the size of your workforce. so you only pay for what you actually run.
How does Tourney Direct compare to other tools?
Most events today use multiple systems:
- Scheduling tools
- Payroll providers
- Communication tools
- Staffing platforms
- Marketplaces
- even paper and pens!
Tourney Direct combines all of that into one platform, saving time, reducing risk, and simplifying operations.
Can I change my plan later?
Yes. You can switch between service levels at any time based on your event needs.
