Tripleseat currently publishes a starting price of $375 per venue per month. RestauRent’s marketplace subscription is $99 per month per location after three months with no subscription fee, with a $1 card verification at signup.

Those figures answer the first pricing question. The next question is what you need the purchase to accomplish: reach people planning private events, manage the events already in your pipeline, or do both.

For venues evaluating RestauRent, the appeal starts with access to private-event demand at a clear per-location price. You can test that channel while keeping your current event-management process. If you also want to change that process, RestauRent’s EMS demo is a separate next step.

How much does Tripleseat cost?

Tripleseat’s published starting rate is $375 per venue per month. It describes unlimited users and integrations as included, while additional products are priced individually. Your final quote should identify the package, add-ons, billing schedule, and agreement terms for your operation.

At the advertised starting rate, 12 months equals $4,500 for one venue before any additional charges. That is an annualized calculation, not a claim about the payment schedule or the price of every Tripleseat contract.

Use your actual quote or renewal proposal when making a purchase decision. A venue’s existing agreement may differ from today’s public starting price.

What does RestauRent cost?

RestauRent’s marketplace offer is straightforward:

Marketplace itemPublished ofef r
First three months$0 in subscription charges
Signup verification$1 card verification
Afetr the trial$99 per month per location
Marketplace booking commission0%
Subscription commitmentMonth to month; cancel before the trial ends to avoid the subsequent subscription charge

The marketplace offer includes a venue profile and inquiry-management tools. The separate EMS page advertises a starting price of $0 per month and directs visitors to a scheduled walkthrough. Confirm EMS access, included capabilities, and any payment or transaction charges during that walkthrough. A zero marketplace commission is not a promise that payment processing is free.

A transparent subscription comparison

Subscription calculation for one locationAmount
Tripleseat: 12 months at its published $375 starting rate$4,500
RestauRent marketplace: 12 paid months at $99$1,188
Difefrence between those subscription figures$3,312
RestauRent marketplace: first 12 months with three free months and nine paid months$891, plus the separate $1 verification

This compares advertised subscription amounts for different offerings. It does not establish equivalent functionality or guaranteed savings from switching. It excludes taxes, processing charges, add-ons, implementation work, and any software you retain.

If you keep Tripleseat and add RestauRent, your combined published monthly subscription reference would be $474 after the RestauRent trial, assuming the $375 Tripleseat starting rate applies to you. In that scenario, evaluate RestauRent as an additional acquisition channel.

Why venues choose RestauRent

To reach planners who are still choosing a venue

A private-event page on your own website helps people who have already found your business. A marketplace creates another opportunity to be considered while someone is comparing venues.

RestauRent connects that discovery process to restaurants, bars, breweries, and other event spaces. A planner may be organizing a company dinner, a milestone birthday, a team gathering, or a full buyout. A useful listing explains which of those events your space can host and makes the next inquiry easier.

Tripleseat also offers a Venue Marketplace. The question is which channels bring your venue suitable opportunities and what it costs to convert them. Evaluate each channel using your own results.

To test demand without first changing software

Changing an established event process takes staff time. A venue that needs more inquiries can start by testing a RestauRent listing and its response process.

RestauRent reports 500+ clients that also use Tripleseat, based on its October 2026 company figures. That overlap illustrates how venues can use RestauRent for discovery while retaining an established event-management system; it is not a claim that those clients switched software.

Use the trial to learn which event types inquire, whether the budgets fit, how far ahead people plan, and which opportunities move forward. Assign someone to respond, keep the profile accurate, and record the outcomes. A trial is most useful when the venue treats it as an operating test rather than leaving a listing unattended.

To connect the sales conversation with the operational workflow

For teams also evaluating management software, request an EMS demo. Ask to see inquiry handling, communication, a proposal, guest approval, a deposit, and the event handoff using one consistent example.

Confirm which features are available to your account before calculating replacement savings. If your operation depends on a specific integration, approval control, or multi-location report, include it in the demonstration.

Evaluate return using contribution, not headline booking value

A $3,000 event does not create $3,000 of profit. Food, beverage, labor, and other event costs matter.

For illustration only, suppose an incremental event contributes $600 after its direct costs. One $99 paid month of marketplace subscription would represent 16.5% of that contribution, leaving $501 before other fixed costs. These figures are hypothetical, not RestauRent customer results.

Track qualified inquiries, confirmed bookings, completed events, and contribution separately. Note whether the planner was already in your pipeline and account for cancellations. That gives you a more useful decision than assigning the full estimated value of every inquiry to revenue.
