No subscriptions, no per-seat licences, no setup charges. Dola earns a small, transparent slice of each booking — and only when your business does. The rates below are today's defaults, always shown live at checkout.
6% booking fee
Added at checkout as its own line item on top of your rate — currently the default, never hidden in the price your clients see.
10% service fee
Deducted from each payout — you set your own rates and keep the rest. Currently the default. Founding businesses pay a 0% service fee for the founding window — every dollar of your rate is yours.
Let's talk
Running several locations, a franchise, or something that doesn't fit a card on a pricing page? We'll shape it with you.
$31.80
$30.00 service rate + $1.80 booking fee (currently 6%), itemized at checkout.
$27.00
$30.00 rate − $3.00 service fee (currently 10%; 0% during the founding window).
Rates are platform defaults and can change — checkout always shows the live numbers before anyone confirms anything.
| Dola | The usual stack | |
|---|---|---|
| Software bill | None — a service fee (currently 10%, 0% for founding businesses) only when a booking happens | A monthly per-seat subscription, booked or not |
| Payments | Included — in-app checkout, automatic Stripe payouts | A separate processor with its own fees, or invoices to chase |
| Client experience | Live GPS walks, report cards, one-tap rebooking under your name | A booking form, then texts and phone tag |
"The usual stack" — scheduling software plus a card processor plus manual invoicing — varies by vendor; the point is the shape, not any one competitor's rate card.
They're defaults, not promises carved in stone — both rates are platform settings Dola can adjust. Whatever the current rates are, they're shown at checkout before a booking is confirmed, and a change never rewrites a charge already made.
It keeps Dola running for owners: payment processing, confirmations and reminders, report cards, and support when something needs a human.
If a cancellation refunds the full service amount, the booking fee comes back too. Partial refunds follow the caregiver or business's cancellation policy, which you see before booking.
No. There's no per-seat licence and no monthly bill — a business of one pays the same way a fifteen-person team does: a service fee on bookings, nothing otherwise.
Your rate plus the booking fee (currently 6%), itemized at checkout before they confirm. Joining Dola is free for them — they get in by your invite.
