The math, if you’re used to a cut
Move the slider to what you book in a year.
Half the cut. $7,500 a year stays with you.
Around 6% is a commonly reported platform fee, not one we have verified. Slate’s 3% is the whole price: nothing else is added to it.

Migration & Setup — optional, one-time
Do it yourself in an afternoon, or have Slate set you up in 24 hours*.
At a one-time fee. We import your existing bookings, customers and calendar, set up your resources and hours, and hand you a page that is ready to sell — priced by how much there is to move, and quoted before we start.
One rate, published, whatever you run: 3% of what you book.

No trial — we migrate you
There is no free trial: moving a live booking calendar is not something to do unattended, so we walk through it with you.
Unlimited staff, every plan
Staff scheduling is unlimited — you’re never charged for hiring seasonally.
3% of what you book
There is no tier to outgrow and no monthly fee, so growing does not reprice you.
Booking-fee termsThe things operators ask first.
What does Slate actually cost?
One thing, and it is on the pricing table above: a booking fee of 3% of booked revenue. The subscription is $0 — there is no monthly fee, no tier to pick and no minimum.
The booking fee applies to card bookings Slate processes. Exactly how it is collected is set out in the Terms — the marketing pages deliberately do not paraphrase it.
Is there a free trial?
No, and that is deliberate. Moving a live booking calendar is not something to do unattended, so we do it with you instead of leaving you to it.
The Free plan is not a trial that lapses. It is a plan you can stay on.
How long does it take to switch?
An afternoon for most operators. We bring your services, resources and opening hours across, and nothing goes live until your booking page matches what you already run.
What happens to the bookings I already have?
They come with you. Existing bookings keep their times, their guests and their payment status.
Can two guests book the same slot?
No. It is not that Slate checks and warns you — a second booking on a slot that is already taken cannot be saved at all, so it holds even when two people tap Confirm at the same instant. The second one is refused and told the slot has gone.
Do I need to take payment online?
No. You can take a deposit, the full amount, or nothing at all and settle in person. The booking page works either way.
What counts as a resource?
Whatever you actually run — a boat, a room, a chair, a jet ski, a guide. Everything is unlimited, so a twelve-vessel fleet costs the same monthly as one: nothing.
Can I cancel?
Yes, monthly, and your data comes with you. Export your bookings and guests whenever you like, including on the way out.
Take bookings you can actually trust.
We move your calendar across with you, so nothing goes live until it matches what you already run.
