The fine print, in plain language
It usually pays for itself
The donation tip jar and sponsor tiers built into your show can bring in more than the plan costs, so the fee comes out of new money, not the club budget.
See the fundraising tools →Running a charity show?
Registered 501(c)(3) shows can go white-label free or at a reduced rate. Reach out and we will get you set up.
Contact us →Your money never touches us
Registration payments go straight from your registrants into your own Square account. We are never the merchant of record and never take a cut of your gate. The plan fee is the only thing we bill, separately.
Why organizers switch →Pricing questions, answered
How much does Car Show HQ cost?
The full product is free with no feature or size limits. If you want the show fully under your own brand, white-label costs $39, $79, or $149 per show depending on size, or $199 a year for unlimited white-label shows.
What is the catch with the free plan?
There's no feature catch. Free shows run on a carshowhq.com web address and display a small "Run your show on Car Show HQ" card. Registration, sponsor tiers, QR voting, and automatic tallies all work exactly the same as on white-label shows.
Is there an overage charge if my show runs bigger than expected?
No. You pay for the band you picked, there's no surprise per-car charge if more cars register, and we never hold your results back. Predictable beats precise.
When am I charged for white-label?
Not while you're building. Setup, configuration, and duplicating last year are always free. We charge the white-label fee when you go live, open registration, or publish under your own domain.
Does Car Show HQ take a cut of registration money?
No. Entry fees, sponsor payments, and donations settle to your own Square account, and Car Show HQ is never the merchant of record. We bill the white-label fee to the organizer directly, completely separate from event money.
Start free. Upgrade if you ever need to.
Build the whole show first. You commit nothing until it goes live.
