Create your free accountRun one event for $99. Per-event platforms charge around $299 an event. One month of Plus, no annual commitment, is $99 for a 100-player outing; a month of Prime is $9.99 for a 32-player trip. Cancel any time — there's no per-event pricing on Perch.
How the registration fee works
The golfer pays the fee, not you. On paid events it's a flat $4.00 per paid registration — the same on every plan — and never more than 5% of the entry fee, so a $25 league night pays $1.25 and a $65 entry pays $3.25. Free events are always free, and anything you don't collect through Perch is never charged.
You keep the spread. You set the golfer-facing fee; everything above Perch's flat fee is yours. On other platforms that money goes to the platform — on Perch it's your revenue line, and it's what makes the subscription pay for itself.
Never a percentage of your money. Perch does not take a cut of entry fees, pots, prize money or wagers. A flat fee to run the event is the whole of it.

● full · ◐ partial or paid add-on · — not offered. Competitor pricing verified August 2026 from public pricing pages and golf association program documents. “League trackers” covers the common season tools. Golf Genius is shown at TM Club Premium, the only tier that includes online registration and payment processing — their $1,425 Club tier does neither. Perch's per-registration fee is a flat $4.00 (or 5% of the entry, whichever is lower), paid by the golfer, with the host keeping anything they charge above it.
One platform. Your whole golf life — and your whole season.
