SportsEngine fees, compared
The fee shouldn't appear at checkout.
It should be on the entry.
If you're paying a monthly tier and a processing fee that only shows up at the end, there's a simpler deal: EasyChamp is free to run, you connect your own Stripe, and every per-entry fee is printed before a parent pays.

How the money moves
Four things that stay true on every entry
Your Stripe
You connect your own Stripe account. Registration money settles to you directly — not to us and back.
Printed first
Every per-entry fee is shown before checkout, on the entry, not surfaced at the end.
Free to run
No subscription to operate a league: fixtures, standings, brackets and a public site on the free tier.
Pay on use
You only ever pay when you collect entry money. No collection, no fee.
