Early bird discount

We offer an early-bird discount if you decide to sign up before the 2-week trial ends. Please be aware that the discount reduces daily, so the earlier you sign up, the more money you can save. 🤑

You can find this offer under the Plans & Billing page. The discount amount and how many days remaining on your plan appear at the top of the page:

💡 To note: Features not available on the free plan include Payments, Discount codes, Bulk booking discounts, Ticket transfers, Passes, Waiting lists, Reminder emails, and File attachments. You also cannot take payments on the free plan.
