What stays free
Posting, browsing, messaging, and reviews stay free for everyone. Sponsors never pay, and always send proposals free.
Planned fees, once payments launch
A fee on cash deals paid through Maple: 8% of the deal, taken from the organizer’s payout. Sponsors pay the package price and nothing more. For the first 6 months it’s 5%, pilot events pay 0%, and the minimum fee is ₩10,000. In-kind deals, like food, cloud credits, mentors, or a venue, are free.
Extra proposals for organizers: each event gets 3 free proposals to sponsors, then ₩5,000 each, or 10 for ₩39,000. If a sponsor doesn’t reply within 14 days, the proposal is free again.
How paying through Maple will work
The sponsor pays Maple. We hold the money and pay the organizer after the event, once the results report is in. Organizers know they’ll be paid, and sponsors pay for an event that happened.
Our promise
We’ll tell you 60 days before any fee starts, and fees never apply to deals already marked Won.
