What Does Pageant Planet Charge for People's Choice?

Directors who use us for People's Choice earn between 8-12x more than when they host it on their own. There is no set up fee to host a People's Choice or voting contest on Pageant Planet. Here's a step by step guide to set it up.

Pageant Planet charges 25% of your gross earnings but we give you that money back in the form of lead credits. (Click here to read more about lead credits).

Here's what that fee covers: 

• Software. Our gamification features allow you to earn an average net-profit of $123.40 per contestant. To date, we have never had a pageant earn a higher net profit on their own platform. (Average is taken from every contest ever hosted on Pageant Planet)
• Lead Credits. You receive 1 lead credit for every $20 you raise. 
• Customer Support. We are here to help your participants so you can focus on creating an amazing experience for your contestants! 
• Third party protection. Parents cannot accuse you of rigging a contest that isn't being hosted on a platform that you own. 
• Chargeback protection. If a buyer complains to their credit card company after you collected your funds that someone "stole" their credit card then we, not you, reimburse those claims.  
• Time. You don't have to manually count votes at the end of your contest. Our system automatically adds votes, determines winners, emails your contestants when they receive votes, reminders voters when the contest is ending and so much more. 

Finally, as the original creator of a pageant-oriented People’s Choice voting platform, Pageant Planet has established the blueprint for your pageant earning income through popular votes. We know that pageants that create their own People’s Choice fundraiser and control the payment processing encounter substantial transaction fees by payment processors like PayPal and Stripe.

• For example, PayPal charges 3.49% + $0.52. This translates to PayPal charging the donor $0.56 for every $1 vote. By streamlining your People’s Choice competition through the most popular pageant community website, you will attract more voters, save time, establish trust and gain more income.
