Pricing

Flexible pricing for improv companies of all sizes

Many theaters pay $10–25 a month. You'll never pay more than $49. And in any month with no shows, your bill is $0 — truly.

Your first month is free — on us, while you try it.
The difference

You don't pay for your roster.

Most tools charge you by the number of people in the system — so adding the person who plays twice a year costs the same as adding someone on every weekly show. SchedgeHog only counts people who actually sign up to play.

Everyone else
Per-seat pricing

Flat fee per person in the system. Big cast? You keep paying for them, even when they're not performing. Every person you add, you pay more — whether they perform this month or not.

SchedgeHog
Pay for activity, not headcount

Add every performer you might ever cast. The ones who don't sign up to play or get scheduled this week don't cost you anything.

$0
In inactive months

Gone dark? No shows scheduled? No bill. The base fee is waived completely in months that your team is on hiatus.

Flexible
Pricing that scales

We charge based on usage, not for the size of your roster or which features you can afford.

$49
Monthly cap

No runaway costs, ever. The most you'll ever pay in a month is $49, however big or busy you get.

What theaters actually pay

Activity-based pricing that scales with you.

Here are a few examples of what your monthly bill might look like.

Example 1
Small community troupe
One show a week · 8 performers
~$11–13
per month

Weekly show with a regular ensemble. Everyone marks availability; most nights the same eight people. Quiet summer? Drops to single digits.

Example 2
Regular weekly theater
3 shows a week · 30+ active performers
~$17–27
per month

Multiple weekly shows, rotating casts. Heaviest months don't cross $32.

Example 3
Busy mainstage
5+ shows a week · 50+ active performers
$49
per month

High-volume theater with a big ensemble. You hit the cap. The cap is $49. That's the bill.

How pricing is calculated
The mechanics
  • $5/month base fee, waived entirely in months with no scheduled shows.
  • $0.25 per player, per week they are "in play."
  • Monthly total capped at $49, regardless of activity.
  • Every plan includes every feature. No upsells, no tiers.
What "in play" means

A player counts for a week if either (a) they marked themselves available for any show that week, or (b) they were scheduled into a show that week. Each player counts at most once per week, no matter how many shows they're in.

Why this model

A small troupe should never pay the same as a mainstage theater.

We built this pricing on one idea: you shouldn't pay for a tool in a quiet month, and scale shouldn't equal a surprise invoice. Usage-based pricing with a hard cap means SchedgeHog scales down when you do — and never scales past what's fair.

FAQ

Frequently asked

When do I get billed?
Monthly, at the end of the month. You see your actual usage and total before it charges — no surprises.
How do I pay?
Credit card by default. If your theater needs an invoice instead (common for nonprofits and venue-based orgs), just ask — we handle invoicing on request.
Is there an annual option?
We don't love locking theaters in with annual contracts, but if it works better for you to pay annually we can do that.
What if I'm coming from another tool?
We'll match your current pricing for your first year, and setup is on us — we'll get you up and running fast. Switching is easy.
Can you help me estimate the exact monthly cost?
Sure, just reach out. We'll ask a few questions about your typical week and show you exactly what you'd pay. You NEVER pay more than $49 a month, but many theaters pay quite a bit less.
Can I just pay a predictable, flat rate instead of usage-based pricing?
You bet. Since the maximum you'll ever pay is $49 a month, we're happy to charge you that if it makes accounting easier.
Are there nonprofit or educational discounts?
The discount is already baked in. Theaters don't have money — nonprofit, for-profit, university program, youth ensemble — so we priced this as low as we could from day one.
