2% of what you collect. That's the whole price.

The gross amount a family pays you through Gigpie: the post-discount package price plus any processing surcharge you pass along. Discounts reduce the fee because they reduce what you collect. Payments you record manually, like cash or checks, never run through Stripe and carry no fee.

No. Stripe charges its standard processing rates on top: about 2.9% plus $0.30 per card transaction, or 0.8% for pay-by-bank, capped at $5 no matter the payment size. Every platform that processes payments has the same processor cost underneath its advertised price; ours is just written down here. You can pass processing costs to families as a configurable surcharge.

You pay nothing. The fee is a percentage of collections, so no collections means no fee. There is no monthly minimum, no platform invoice, and nothing to pause or freeze. Your account and your families' portal access keep working.

Really. Educator accounts are unlimited at every size, so adding your ninth or twenty-first coach changes your bill by zero dollars. Your cost only moves when your revenue moves.

The fee is returned in proportion to the refund, automatically. Refund half of a payment and half of its fee comes back; refund all of it and the full fee comes back. You do not pay 2% on money you gave back.

Pay-by-bank lets families pay by ACH bank transfer with instant account verification instead of typing card numbers. Processing costs Stripe's standard 0.8%, capped at $5 per transaction no matter the payment size, against roughly 2.9% plus $0.30 for cards. Gigpie's 2% applies either way. On a $1,000 payment, pay-by-bank saves about $24.30 in processing.

The 2% is charged on each installment as it is collected, not on the package price upfront. A $2,400 package split into three $800 payments carries a $16 fee per payment. If an installment is waived or never collected, no fee applies to it.

No. The fee is collected as part of Stripe payment processing. A check or cash payment you record manually never passes through Stripe, so there is nothing for the fee to apply to. We think the online flow is worth using anyway: autopay and balance tracking come with it.

Every tool in this category prices differently: monthly subscriptions, per-tutor seat fees, or a percentage like ours. The comparison pages have the exact math against each competitor, with their published pricing and the break-even points worked out.

The whole product. Scheduling, packages, the parent portal, CRM, payroll, and reports, with no card on file and no trial countdown. The first fee happens when the first family payment clears through Stripe. Until money moves, Gigpie costs nothing.

We do the import work with you no matter which platform you are coming from, including custom imports when your data needs them. A full migration typically takes a few weeks, and the help is included. Email support@gigpie.com to plan it.

There is no contract and no termination fee. Since there is no subscription, there is nothing to cancel mid-cycle; you stop taking payments through Gigpie and the fees stop with them. Your user data and payroll records export to CSV. Email support@gigpie.com and we will help you wind down.
