Why we've chosen a commission model
Most software charges a monthly subscription whether it helps your business grow or not.
Whimsy is different.
We're not just another management system—we're building a platform that helps families discover, compare and book children's activities.
Rather than charging every provider a fixed monthly fee regardless of results, we've chosen a commission model so our success is directly aligned with yours.
If Whimsy helps bring new families and bookings to your business, we earn a small commission.
If we don't deliver value, we don't get paid.
No upfront costs
No monthly subscription
No lock-in contracts
We only succeed when you succeed
"If Whimsy isn't helping grow your business, we don't deserve to get paid."
