Pricing built for guides, not against them.
No monthly fees. No hidden charges. No subscriptions. Ever. Pricing is tiered based on how the client finds you — and your existing clients book fee-free.

How pricing works
You set your trip price. Your client pays exactly that — nothing more. A tiered platform fee and Stripe processing (approximately 2.9% + $0.30) are deducted separately from the total. No monthly subscriptions, no hidden charges, no surprises for your clients.
| Scenario | Platform Fee | Stripe Processing |
|---|---|---|
| Imported clients (within first 30 days) | 0% | ~2.9% + $0.30 |
| First-time Hooks.ly client | 15% (one-time) | ~2.9% + $0.30 |
| Returning Hooks.ly client | 5% | ~2.9% + $0.30 |
| Clients you book yourself | 5% | ~2.9% + $0.30 |
| Cash or check | 0% | 0% |
10% of the platform fee goes back to guides and clients through our referral program when referrals exist.
