We do not take a share of your tuition either, but a payment through Bloomily carries a processing fee — 3.5% on cards, 1% on bank transfers capped at $8 — and you choose whether families or you cover it. If you take payment outside the software, Bookeo will cost you less.
Bookeo publishes waivers from $9 to $249 a month (read 6 September 2026). In Bloomily, waivers are part of the plan.
