What does your Tripleseat stack really cost over three years?

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.

What one platform consolidates: floorplans, pace reporting, and goals included rather than sold as add-ons; staff training on the same system instead of a separate LMS; and one record of people, locations, and menus instead of admin hours spent re-keying. Excellent is $360 per location per month, everything included — more under “How the math works” below.

How the math works

Where do the numbers come from?

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.

Why include a separate training tool and admin hours?

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.

What does Excellent cost in comparison?

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.
