CutLedger How we make money

Where sources disagree

We show both sides and do not pick a winner unless the vendor’s own page settles it. Dates differ, countries differ, and some pages change. 4 items, all explained: three resolved as regional pricing or a vendor-confirmed figure, one as a currency difference.

Resolved as regional, not a contradiction: the US marketplace is free (Codersy, Sept 2026); the UK charges 20% since 14 July 2026 (Vagaro’s UK pages as read by several third parties). Vagaro’s own pages were not fetched: robots.txt disallows them.

“2.6% flat” in person and onlineSeptember 2026

Resolved: the vendor figure stands. The vendor’s own payments-rates page and comparison page both state 2.4% + $0.15; the pricing page renders the in-person rate as a JS placeholder in a text fetch, but the online rate (2.9% + $0.30) confirms in text. Codersy’s 2.6% is not repeated on any vendor page.

Resolved as regional pricing: $79 in North America and Asia (vendor page), €99 in Europe, £89 in the UK (vendor regional pages as read by third parties, Oct 2026). Only the entry plan has a published price.

Not a contradiction: US dollars vs UK pounds. Shown so UK readers do not mix them up.
