Things prospects ask before signing.
Never. All plans are flat monthly. Per-booking fees are a tax on your growth — we do not take that tax.
Any court you schedule on Pickle Jar — indoor, outdoor, bookable, or open-play-only. Reservable ball courts, kid courts, and off-hours blocks all count.
Yes. Upgrades prorate immediately. Downgrades take effect at the start of your next billing period. No upgrade calls required.
Exactly what Stripe or Square charges you directly — we don't mark up card fees. Members pay through your merchant account; we don't touch the funds.
Month-to-month. Cancel any time. We give you an export before your last day.
Multi-location tier. Custom pricing based on facility count and feature needs. Includes SSO, audit logs, dedicated onboarding, consolidated reporting.
Starter: self-serve with docs + support. Growth and Multi-location: white-glove migration, first open-play night run alongside our team, included in your monthly price.
