Competitor figures are editable estimates based on publicly listed pricing as of July 2026 — check current pricing with each provider. Where a provider charges a per-cover network fee, only some of your covers may attract that fee in practice, so adjust the figures to match your own contract.

💡 Why per-cover fees matter
- ✨ A per-cover fee scales with your success. The busier you get, the more you pay. A flat plan does not.
- 📊 Read our honest comparison of the providers that claim to be commission-free and where the extra costs hide. See the breakdown.
- 🎯 Deposits and card capture are included with BookingNinja, so you are not paying an add-on fee to protect against no-shows.
