Premium Tier

If your club is accepting online payments then you are already considered premium tier.

What is Premium Tier?

Premium tier clubs gain access to the non-essential but convenient benefits and features listed here.

There is no obligation to join premium tier. All clubs retain access to Curling IO's core functionality regardless.

If your club is not accepting online payments there will be an option to purchase one year of premium access for your club. Upon purchase, premium features are unlocked for all of your club's users.

  • Only purchasable by clubs who are NOT accepting online payments.
  • Not a subscription and will not auto-renew.
  • Need to purchase it again every year to continue using premium features.
  • There is a 2 month window where you can re-purchase before it expires, and have another year added to your expiry date.
  • There are no refunds for premium tier.

Why have a Premium Tier?

Our premium tier features and benefits all have an outsized cost, whether it's infrastructure or support. Since nothing is actually free, we have to pay for this using revenue generated by our paying clubs. Essentially the free option is subsidized by our paying clubs.

That being said, we firmly believe that having a functional free option of Curling IO is important, and this means we must keep our operating costs to a minimum. We believe that having a premium tier to limit our costs is a fair solution, since none of these premium features are essential to benefit from Curling IO.

We also want to build new, potentially resource intensive features without worrying about how much it will cost us to offer them for free.
