No transaction percentage. Ever.
No per-registration fee.
No SMS or email credit system.
The math you do not want to do.
Most enrichment registration platforms charge a monthly subscription plus a percentage of every registration that comes through. That percentage can look small until your business grows. A 2% transaction fee on $150,000 in annual registration revenue is $3,000 a year. On $400,000 it is $8,000. That is on top of the monthly subscription and on top of standard payment processing fees.
enrops is free to start.
No transaction percentage. No per-registration fee. No SMS credit system. No email volume tiers. The more families you serve, the more you keep.
A software company cannot fake running an enrichment business.
enrops was built inside Journey to STEAM, a 75+ site enrichment business, by the people running it. Every feature exists because we needed it on a Monday morning. Every pricing decision was made by someone writing checks for Stripe fees and wondering why their platform took a cut. We run The Enrichment Entrepreneur podcast and an operator community because this work is better when you are not doing it alone. enrops is the platform. The community is how operators connect, share what works, and shape what we build next.
