Our pricing
ClassBento can power orders on your website, and also offer you additional 'marketplace' bookings by connecting you with our audience on classbento.com
Our pricing is simple and competitive for both options, and we also provide free website hosting.
3.9% + $0.30 for orders originating through our widget (on your website/social)
20% for orders originating from our marketplace (classbento.com)
ClassBento is a leading destination for creative experiences, and we'll gladly connect you with our audience, to deliver you more bookings where we'll deduct 20%, and you'll keep the other 80%.
You can think of this 20% as a competitive advertising fee, with the extra benefit that you won't need to spend time/cost into managing advertising campaigns. Plus, it's risk-free - you only incur this fee when you actually get bookings.
One fee, nothing else. This 20% is all you pay: payment processing is included, there are no monthly fees, and your customers aren't charged a booking fee on top. We also calculate, collect and file any applicable sales tax for you, so you don't have to.
It also covers our donation to NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) with each marketplace order, so you'll be helping to do good too. Learn about our mission.

Hear from our teachers
As a full-time virtual art instructor, I could not recommend ClassBento more. My business has grown exponentially since I listed my first event on the platform back in 2019. Compared to other platforms, ClassBento offers the most freedom and control over how my business operates. I love that I can set my own pricing; ClassBento gives you the freedom to run your business independently and without the restrictions you’ll notice when listing your classes on other platforms. I look forward to many more years of working and growing together!
The advertising has been wonderful. The set up was super easy. Direct deposit has been a non issue. Great experience working with ClassBento. Have had a lot of new customers.
I like the support and help I get from ClassBento to improve my listings, and the technology that makes my life easier with a comprehensive, easy to use booking system. I also like that I get new customers from ClassBento, many who become repeats or bring large groups!
I like that the site shares all customer information with me and does not try to hide anything. And the commission structure is very fair. Other sites I work with take much more. I would prefer to do all my business through ClassBento.
Also, the booking engine (widget) for my site works great.
Overall the experience is very positive and I also like that ClassBento donates a portion of proceeds to mental health organizations.
ClassBento makes it incredibly easy to share my passion with people around the world. It's a smooth experience to list my class, there are plenty of tips and features for how to increase the chance of people finding my listings, and the automatic system to send participants reminders, reviews are very helpful. It also feels like a company with warmth, whenever I have questions, I can easily get help from a human representative within a business day.
I'd highly recommend ClassBento if you'd like to teach creative classes!
ClassBento has been extremely helpful for our business! Having our experiences listed on their platform has not only helped increase our bookings and introduce new customers to our business, but the booking system itself has made managing our classes so much easier.
We especially love that we can link our ClassBento experiences directly from our own website. This allows customers to discover us in multiple ways while keeping all of our bookings organized in one place, which has been incredibly valuable for our team.
The platform is easy to use, helps us stay organized, and has become an important part of how we manage and grow our workshops. We’re very happy with our experience with ClassBento and appreciate the additional exposure and support it has provided our small business!
There are many things I like... no, love... about ClassBento. The customer service is supreme, the tech support is expedient, the website set-up is easy, and the site maintenance is very user friendly. Choosing to join ClassBento has been one of the best decisions I've made as an entrepreneur.
ClassBento takes care of the admin duties for my business so that I can focus on teaching! What a great help!
I really love my ClassBento growth partner, Shannon. She’s been a huge help to me. I’m not tech savvy, and she’s been amazing with all my questions. She’s super knowledgeable, and is a big part of why I stay with your service. I also think the back end user design is great compared to other platforms
ClassBento is always so responsive; thank you for continouosly improving the platform and adding great features.
I like the fact that ClassBento acts as your partner - trying to support and encourage your business growth!
I like the ease of communicating with the prospective client via the dashboard and once booked, the fact that we can communicate directly with the client; it really creates a personal connection before the event and everyone is always so excited in anticipation. It makes the actual event so much more enjoyable because I feel like talking to friends.
I also like the ease of adding extra participants and charging for other extras, e.g., cold packs or extra chocolate boxes, etc.
Customer service is very responsive and detailed in their responses. I also appreciate the ease with which you can speak with customers, answer inquiries, create invites, etc. I feel like the ClassBento website is intuitive. I've also used the widgets and QR codes for my business website and flyers.
I appreciate how advanced the platform is with technology features and the opportunity for us business owners to grow with the platform
