Pricing & Plan Questions

  1. How much does it cost?

    Festology has three plans:

    Free Plan: If you're interested in a free plan, you can get a fully-functional site, but with limits on design and customization, for $0. (Coming Soon!)

    Plan 1: For a typical event series, such as an annual conference or festival, the costs start at $500/year.

    Plan 2: If you're running multiple series in a year (example: if you run a conference every three months), the costs start at $1500, which means you get four event series for the price of three.

    Festology is highly customizable, but if you need our help to create custom sites, that is not included in the standard pricing and you should contact Festology.
