Activation and automatic billing
Activate through Stripe with a temporary $10 card hold and consent to automatic final billing. After the contest closes, we release the hold and charge the saved card for the actual total, which can exceed $10 even if the hold has expired. Zero presenting teams means no charge.
Accept the payment terms on the pricing card, then authorize your card through Stripe.
Activation keeps SparkStage available in your menu; no recurring subscription fee applies.
A separate bill for each contest
The contest owner pays $1 per team that starts a live presentation, for the whole contest including finals and repeats. Presenters pay nothing. Teams withdrawn before presenting are free.
Future contests use the saved card without another activation or temporary hold.
Outstanding contest bills must be settled before creating another contest.
Common questions
Do presenters need to pay?
No. The contest owner pays for teams that present. Presenters pay nothing.
Are finals charged again?
No. Finals and repeat appearances by a team entry in the same contest are included.
What happens if a team withdraws?
Teams that never start a live presentation are free. Zero presenting teams means no charge.
Do I activate SparkStage for every contest?
No. Activate once, then pay the actual total automatically after each contest closes. You can keep using SparkStage unless access is revoked; unpaid bills block new contests.
