What UltraSignup charges
UltraSignup doesn't publish its rate — it adds a fee to every registration at checkout. Below: what that comes to over a year at three volumes, what is not in that number, and what the same job costs when you own it instead of renting it.
What UltraSignup publishes
Vendor FAQ: fees are a percentage driven by event price, cover card processing, 'can either be added to your event price or netted out, your choice'. No numbers published. A search summary claimed $3-$3.50 per signup but source unidentified, not recorded.
There is no public rate card, so the only figure that exists for you is the one on your own invoice. That is worth finding before your next renewal: a platform that quotes per contract is a platform whose price is negotiable.
What to ask UltraSignup before you sign
There is no published rate card, so these are the questions that turn a demo into a number. Ask them in writing.
- What is the fee on a single paid registration, in money?A percentage and a fixed part, both named. "Competitive" is not a rate.
- Who is charged it — us or the buyer?If the buyer pays, it is still coming out of what they were willing to spend.
- Is card processing inside that number or on top?Normally on top, around 2.9% + $0.30 an order.
- What is the term, and what happens to our data at the end of it?Ask for the export format in writing before you sign, not after.
- What does the fee become if our volume doubles?A share of every registration grows with you; a build does not.
Once you have that number, ours is simple: a tenth of what you pay now, with hosting, fixes and changes included.
What you would own instead
- The part you actually useMost of a platform like UltraSignup goes unused. We rebuild the parts your business runs on and leave the rest out.
- The code and the dataYours, in your own account, exportable on any day for any reason.
- A price that does not scale with your takingsa tenth of what you pay now — hosting and changes included, and it does not grow with your takings.
When to stay put
- You use nearly all of itIf your team lives in every corner of UltraSignup and the bill is small, replacing it is work for no gain.
- The fee is tiny against your marginRun the numbers above on your real volume first. If it is noise, leave it.
- It is the only place your customers can find youA marketplace that brings you buyers is selling you demand, not only software. That is worth paying for.
UltraSignup pricing, asked and answered
What does UltraSignup cost?
UltraSignup doesn't publish its rate — it adds a fee to every registration at checkout. Vendor FAQ: fees are a percentage driven by event price, cover card processing, 'can either be added to your event price or netted out, your choice'. No numbers published. A search summary claimed $3-$3.50 per signup but source unidentified, not recorded.
What would UltraSignup cost me over a year?
UltraSignup does not publish a rate we can total.
Who pays UltraSignup's fee — me or my customer?
You can choose: absorb it out of your payout, or add it to what the buyer pays at checkout. Either way somebody is paying it every registration.
Is card processing included?
No. Taking the money is a separate cost, normally around 2.9% + $0.30 an order, and it is charged whoever you use. The figures on this page leave processing out on both sides so the comparison is like for like.
Is there a cheaper alternative to UltraSignup?
That depends on what you actually use it for. Most businesses use a small part of a platform like this — take the money, hold the record, send the confirmation, show the list. That part can be built once and owned, and we price it against your own bill: a tenth of what you pay now, instead of a share of every registration forever. You keep the code and the data, and the old system keeps running beside it until the new one is proven.
