Two plans, and one fee you can work out yourself
Pick pay as you go and pay only when you are paid, or pay £29 a month for lower card fees and unlimited team members. Hopaby takes no commission on your clients.
Pay as you go
£0 No monthly fee
- 3% of each card payment
- Texts 5p a part
- Three team members included, then £5 a month for each further member
No VAT is charged.
Pro
£29 a month
- 1.75% + 20p on each card payment
- Texts 4p a part
- Unlimited team members
No VAT is charged.
On pay as you go, the first three team members are included and each further team member costs £5 a month. Pro has no limit on team members. At an average booking of £40, Pro costs less from about £3,900 a month in card payments. Below that, pay as you go costs less. The higher your average booking, the sooner Pro pays for itself, because the 20p is a smaller share of each payment.
