A flat monthly fee, never a cut of your bookings. Every payment lands in your own Stripe account, and you start with a 7-day free trial. Stripe’s standard card fees apply and go to Stripe, not us.

Correct — we never take a percentage of your bookings. You pay a flat monthly fee and keep everything else. The only deduction is the standard Stripe card fee (from 1.5% + 20p for standard UK cards; other cards cost more) on your own Stripe account — that goes to Stripe, not us.
No. Freelancer is a flat £29. Company is priced by team size, not by how many children or bookings you take. A busy summer never costs you more.
A £99/mo head-office base, plus a per-franchisee fee that gets cheaper as your network grows (£39 for the first five, £31 for the next ten, £25 after that). Your own head-office venues are included free.
No setup fee, no lock-in. Plans roll on until you cancel, and cancelling takes effect at the end of the period you’ve paid for. Start your 7-day free trial when you go live: you add a card then, and you are not charged until day 7 unless you cancel.
Yes — import your families from a spreadsheet, and run in parallel with your old tool until you’re ready.
7-day free trial — on your own brand, money straight to your account.
