The public Schedule of Terms at /pricing controls unless your workspace has a signed custom agreement. Regional billing may vary; the figures below are the standard Founding Pilot plan ladder in USD.
The plan
Every workspace is on a Plan. The Plan determines: included seats, included roster size (for agencies), feature entitlements, and the booking-fee rate.
The full schedule is at /pricing. At a glance:
- Artists — Free during the Founding Pilot; Artist Pro $49/mo; Artist Office $149/mo.
- Agencies — Solo Manager $299/mo; Agency Pro $999/mo; Agency Enterprise from $5,000/mo.
- Presenters — Presenter Basic $299/mo; Presenter Pro $799/mo.
- Orchestras — Orchestra Season Desk $1,500/mo (or $15,000/yr).
- Institutions — Institution Enterprise from $5,000/mo.
Yearly billing is offered at the equivalent of ten months of the monthly rate on tiers that support it.
Booking fees vs BYO fees
Two booking-fee rates apply, depending on how the engagement originated:
- BYO ("bring your own") — you found the engagement off-platform and used Kalinklo to run the paperwork. Lowest rate, capped per engagement.
- Marketplace-sourced — the engagement originated from a request-hold filed through Kalinklo. Higher rate, also capped per engagement.
The applicable rate and cap are recorded against the engagement at booking confirmation and surfaced on the Settlement. Exact percentages are on the /pricing Schedule of Terms.
When fees are charged
Platform fees move through two states:
- Projected — written at the moment a Booking is confirmed. Visible to admins and the workspace owner; not yet billed.
- Charged — flipped to charged when the engagement's Invoice is marked Paid.
If a Booking is cancelled before payment, the Projected fee is released. If a refund issues after Paid, a negative settlement entry reverses the charge.
Invoicing inside an engagement
Invoicing happens between the two parties of the engagement — the presenter's workspace pays the artist's (or agency's) workspace. Kalinklo does not custody funds by default; we record the obligation and the settlement.
Each Invoice line is auditable: who drafted it, when it was sent, what was agreed in the parent Quote. Both sides see the same numbers on the same row.
Settlement and payouts
Settlement is the closing record of the engagement. It carries: final fee paid, platform fee charged, any commissions or splits, and the resulting net to each party. Statements at the workspace level aggregate Settlements across the season.
Important. Contract-specific terms may override platform defaults. Kalinklo records the process and applies platform rules; it does not provide legal advice.
