SMS is purchased as it is used.
Text messages carry a direct delivery cost, so SMS balance stays separate from the 5% agreement. Email and the rest of the supported platform remain included.
Is there a monthly plan or feature tier?+
No. Blade uses one commercial agreement: a 5% platform fee for the full supported platform. There is no Starter or Pro tier to outgrow.
What does the 5% cover?+
It covers Blade's supported booking, front-desk, lane-screen, scoring, league, customer, promotion, analytics, and reporting tools, including ongoing platform improvements within our agreement scope.
What is billed separately?+
SMS usage is separate because every text has a direct carrier cost. Venues purchase SMS balance as needed; Blade does not bundle a message allowance into a plan.
Where does booking revenue go?+
Blade connects directly to your Stripe or Square account, so booking revenue settles through the payment processor connected to your venue.
