The subscription is one line. The stack is the subscription, the paid add-ons, the platform fee on every payment, the separate training tool, and the admin hours that glue it together. Put in your own quote and see the three-year total.
Tripleseat pricing is quote-based — replace this with your quote.
Floorplans and Insights (pace, forecasting, benchmarking) are priced separately. Set 0 if not quoted.
The dollars of deposits and balances guests pay by card through the platform — not a count of payments.
Tripleseat documents a 0.3% platform fee on top of processor fees. Editable in case your terms differ.
The training software (LMS) you keep because the events tool doesn't train staff. Set 0 if you don't pay for one.
Hours spent copying the same data between the events tool, the training tool, and spreadsheets.
For the Excellent side of the comparison. It starts at your stack's hours — no time saved is assumed until you change it.

Subscription, add-ons, payment platform fees, setup, a separate training tool, and the admin hours that glue it together — over 3 years across 3 locations. An estimate from example inputs — replace them with your quote.
Card-processing fees are left out of both sides — your processor charges them either way. Excellent is priced at the monthly rate; annual is two months free. More under “How the math works” below.

From you. Tripleseat pricing is quote-based, so the calculator never asserts their prices — the subscription, add-on, and setup fields are starting points to replace with your actual quote. The one published constant is the 0.3% Tripleseat platform fee on payments described in their documentation, applied on top of processor fees — and even that field is editable in case your terms differ.
Because the real cost of a stack is the stack. Most events platforms do not train staff, so groups keep a separate LMS with the same people and locations entered twice — plus the weekly hours spent re-keying between systems. Total cost of ownership counts all of it, not just the subscription line.
Excellent is $360 per location per month, everything included — every user, no setup fees, and never a percentage of your sales (annual is two months free). What the comparison also shows structurally: floorplans, pace reporting, and goals are included rather than sold as add-ons, and staff training runs on the same platform, which removes the separate LMS line and most of the re-keying hours.
