Pricing & fees
What Waypoint Realms costs, and exactly what we keep when money changes hands. No listing fees, no buyer fees, no fee stack.
Free for everyone
- ✓ Finding sessions, circles and venues near you
- ✓ RSVPing — as many sessions as you like, on every account
- ✓ Advanced session filters and saved-search alerts
- ✓ Hosting sessions, free or paid
- ✓ Joining circles, messages and friends
- ✓ Starting your own circle — lead one of up to 25 members; Plus leads two of up to 50, Pro any number, uncapped
- ✓ Running tournaments in a circle you help lead
- ✓ Listing items in the Marketplace — there is no listing fee
- ✓ Trading items with no cash involved
Paying never moves you up a waitlist, and downgrading never deletes or locks a circle — an over-cap circle keeps everyone and just stops taking new members until there is room. See how waitlists work.
When money changes hands
Buyers pay the listed price, plus shipping and sales tax where they apply — never a buyer fee. Sellers receive the price minus one fee. Card processing is included in that fee: we pay the card network out of our share, so there is no second deduction.
| Sale | Fee | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Marketplace sales between membersTaken from the item price. Shipping goes to the seller in full. Trades with no cash are always free. | 6% | $5.00 sale → $0.30 fee → seller receives $4.70 |
| Paid seats at a sessionTaken from the seat price. | 10% | $25.00 sale → $2.50 fee → host receives $22.50 |
| Paid seats with an approved Game MasterTaken from the seat price. | 0% | $25.00 sale → $0.00 fee → game master receives $25.00 |
| Event ticketsTaken from the ticket price. | 4% | $20.00 sale → $0.80 fee → organizer receives $19.20 |
| Venue space bookingsTaken from the booking price. | 10% | $60.00 sale → $6.00 fee → venue receives $54.00 |
| Partner store ordersTaken from the items in the order. Shipping goes to the store in full. | 10% | $35.00 sale → $3.50 fee → store receives $31.50 |
| Cosplay design salesTaken from the design price. | 10% | $8.00 sale → $0.80 fee → designer receives $7.20 |
Fees apply to new sales at the rate shown when the sale is made — except that an approved Game Master listing or a published Marketplace listing keeps the rate it started with. An approved Game Master's rate is an introductory one. Refunds follow each listing's own policy.

Hub, for partners
Businesses that host playA monthly subscription you can cancel at any time — there is no set-up fee. Billed separately from a membership, and the sale fees above still apply to what you sell.
Selling a few things of your own? You don't need Hub: list them on the Marketplace. Listing is free, with no subscription; the Marketplace fees above are all there is.
- Free listing — free. A directory listing, and host sessions at your venue; Booking & availability management; Headline figures: sessions, attendees and revenue; Customer counts, new and repeat.
- Hub — $30/mo. Run your space: venues, bookings, events, staff and the full analytics picture.
- Hub Commerce — $50/mo. Everything in Hub, plus a storefront: sell products with your own Stripe payouts.
Hub partners can also buy an optional place in the labelled Sponsored row for a session, venue or product — at most two at a time, only where they match what a member searched for, and never inside the results themselves.
Your team
Staff logins beyond what your plan includes, per venue.
- Staff seat$3/mo
One more staff login for this venue, billed monthly.

Every figure on this page is read from the same settings our checkout uses, so it is what you will actually be charged today. Anything already paid for keeps its terms. A fee only goes up with at least 90 days' notice, and a listing keeps the rate it started with — see our commitments.
