For wedding planners
What planners pay
Nothing. The planner workspace has no subscription and no per-wedding fee.
The workspace itself
Mission Control, per-wedding workspaces, the master timeline, BEO and vendor briefs, the couple recap and your own unitedvows.com/by/ page are included at no charge during the planner beta. There is no card on file to use them.
What can cost extra, and what cannot
Every tool in a vendor account is included. A few tools that draft for you come with a monthly allowance, which you can see on your billing page. Signing contracts in the app is included.
What about payment processing fees?
Stripe processes every card payment and charges roughly 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. On payments couples make vendors, the vendor pays that fee, in addition to the United Vows commission. On registry cash gifts, United Vows takes no fee; Stripe's fee is deducted from each gift and the couple receives the rest. Either way, the fee goes to Stripe, not to United Vows.

Why United Vows
Built differently
Couples pay nothing, and our fee comes out of the bookings vendors win — so what is good for the couple and the vendor is good for us.
No hidden fees
No monthly subscriptions, no lead fees, nothing you did not choose. Couples pay nothing. Vendors pay commission on the payments they receive, plus Stripe's card processing fee on those payments, and anything else is opted into with the price shown first.
Matching that knows you
Matches are scored on style, budget, location and preferences — so couples meet vendors who actually fit.
Secure payments
Couples pay their vendors directly and securely through Stripe, against a signed contract. Verified badges, ratings built only from paid bookings, and a claims process with real deadlines keep both sides honest.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is United Vows really free for couples?
Yes. Couples pay nothing. Every planning tool, the Vows Assistant, and vendor matching are free, and you check out and pay your vendor directly through Stripe. The price a vendor quotes is your total, and commission comes from the vendor's side, not added to your bill.
How does vendor commission work?
Commission is set by your tier and falls as the value of the contracts you book grows: Starter is 9% (up to $2k), Established is 8% ($2k to $25k), and Elite is 7% ($25k and up). Tiers update automatically, so you never apply or upgrade manually. Stripe's standard card processing fee on each payment is paid by the vendor, in addition to the commission.
When do vendors get paid?
Couples pay their vendors directly and securely through Stripe when they book. There is no waiting on a hold. If a couple files a claim on a booking, you have seven days to answer it, and answering on time is what keeps it from counting against your standing here.
Are there any monthly fees for vendors?
No. There is no monthly subscription. Commission on the payments couples make you is the only charge United Vows takes automatically; Stripe's standard card processing fee on those payments is also paid by you. Pay-per-use coaching past your monthly allowance is optional and stays off until you choose it.
Does United Vows charge extra for its features?
Only where you opt in. Every tool is included, and contracts are signed in the app at no extra cost. Vendor Coach has a monthly allowance of 15 answers; past it you can switch on pay-per-use at the displayed rate, and it stays off until you do.
What payment methods are accepted?
All major credit and debit cards, processed securely through Stripe.
