The math

Year-1 cost breakdown

Cost component PaddleOps CourtReserve DIY stack
An honest note about this calculator. Pricing pulled from CourtReserve's published pricing page in May 2026. CourtReserve charges email overage at $5 per 1,000 over the 5,000 included; SMS overage at $5 per 500 over 500 included. The DIY column estimates Square POS fees (2.6% + $0.10/transaction), Mailchimp (≈$20-150/mo by list size), Eventbrite (3.5% + $1.59 per ticket), and a 4 hr/week labor cost at $35/hr to reconcile across them. Your real numbers may vary.
