QUESTIONS?
FREQUENTLY ASKED.
Yes. Starter is free for artists and stays the permanent entry tier. The only cost is a 9.9% booking fee on client-paid deposits — your client pays it, and it does not touch your own earnings. It comes from the client's deposit. The 9.9% (Starter) or 4.5% (Plus) is charged on deposits the client pays through LVL2, not on your base session rate. Pro is $99/mo, self-serve. LVL2 does not add a booking fee on Pro deposits — you pay Stripe processing only. Start it from onboarding or upgrade from your dashboard. Every LVL2 feature is included on both. Plus lowers the client-paid booking fee on deposits, takes a smaller merch fee as a share of profit, and includes priority support instead of email support. Starter is free with 9.9% on client-paid deposits and a 30% merch profit share; Plus is $39/mo with 4.5% on deposits and a 20% merch profit share. Yes. Start free, move up to Plus or Pro anytime as your booking volume or shop setup changes.
