# Frequency

> Frequency is a Community Collective. It exists to support every community effort and help
> everyone in it succeed, together. People find their people by topic, join a Circle (a small standing
> local group), show up to nearby Events, grow a Space (a business or organization), and gather at The
> Lab (a physical third space). You keep 100% of your own bookings; Frequency earns only a small,
> shrinking network-only take-rate on the business the network sends you. The Quest is a light,
> transparent game that rewards showing up in person, not scrolling. Community Collective.
> Free during the beta, taking root in North County San Diego.

- [Pricing](https://frequencylocal.com/pricing): Pricing for Spaces and members: connection is free, paid plans raise the limits. You keep 100% of your own bookings. Selling is NOT gated on any tier. Every rung, including a free Member and a free Space, can sell tickets and take payments and donations from day one; what a paid rung buys is a lower rate plus the tools that build the list which takes that rate to zero. The take-rate applies ONLY to a sale the network introduced: Member 10%, Crew 8%, Free Space 10%, Business 5%, Collective 3%, Non Profit 0%, Independent 0%. It is 0% for good once the buyer is already yours, meaning they follow your Space, they are one of your members, they are in your contacts, or they have bought from you before. Frequency charges once for the introduction. After that they are your people, free. Tips are always 0%. Three capabilities do need a paid plan and nothing else does: selling memberships (Business), campaigns and funnels (Business), and revenue splits (Collective). The whole ladder: Member Free, Crew from $4.99/mo, Free Space Free, Business $29/mo, Collective $79/mo, Non Profit $39/mo, Independent $249/mo.

## Pricing for Spaces (a Community Collective, not a tax on your work)
The core promise: your own people are always free, on every tier, forever. Connection is free, selling is free, and a business never pays for access to people. You keep 100% of the bookings and sales you bring in yourself. Frequency earns a share ONLY of the business the network sends you (a referral or a discovery inside the collective), and that rate drops as your plan rises. The whole ladder: Member Free, Crew from $4.99/mo, Free Space Free, Business $29/mo, Collective $79/mo, Non Profit $39/mo, Independent $249/mo. Monthly or yearly, two months free.

- Free Space: Free. Put your business on the map. Anyone standing something up, for as long as they want. No card, no clock. Fee: 0% on your own bookings, 10% on network-sourced sales.

- Non Profit: $39/mo or $390/yr. The full toolkit, verified. Verified 501(c)(3) organizations, with donations built in and no take-rate. Fee: 0% on your own bookings, 0% on network-sourced sales.
- Independent: $249/mo or $2,490/yr. Your own brand, standalone. Organizations that want the whole platform under their own name and domain, off the network. Fee: 0% on your own bookings, 0% on network-sourced sales.

- Operator seats: add-on seats for your team on any paid plan, owner-priced.

It is 0% for good once the buyer is already yours, meaning they follow your Space, they are one of your members, they are in your contacts, or they have bought from you before. Frequency charges once for the introduction. After that they are your people, free. Tips are always 0%. Three capabilities do need a paid plan and nothing else does: selling memberships (Business), campaigns and funnels (Business), and revenue splits (Collective).
