Detailed Review
Uplisting's pricing page lists three plans, Independent Host, Operator and Manager, each available as a flat monthly fee or pay as you go. Pay as you go means no monthly fee and a commission of 3% (Independent Host) or 1.5% (Operator) per booking, with nothing due in months without bookings.
The privacy policy names Uplisting, Ltd., Cedar House, 63 Napier Street, Sheffield, registration number 10331916, as data controller, and the terms are governed by English law.
