No system in this category hands another its saved cards or its ledger. We say it first, and we say what happens instead.
Questions, answered
No. There is a processing fee on a payment — 3.5% on cards, 1% on bank transfers capped at $8 — and your program chooses whether families or you cover it. We take no share of tuition.
Their published commission is 30%, 20% or 15% depending on the plan. On $50,000 of season tuition the lowest of those is $7,500 (read 6 September 2026). Ours would be $990 for the year plus the payment fee.
That is a real thing to weigh, and we do not do it. If the marketplace is filling your sessions, the commission may be worth it. If your families already know you, it is a tax on a booking you had already won.
Stop comparing. Start running.
