§ 02What you get

Not another quote builder. A pricing desk.

01

Every number cited

Click any source link, see the original cost guide. No crowdsourced rates, no guesses. If the number is not in a public source, we do not use it.

02

Sits beside your CRM

Rateven sits next to HoneyBook or Dubsado, not in place of them. Calibrate, export, paste, win the booking.

03

Legally defensible

No user-submitted rate data, no antitrust exposure, AI Act Article 50 labels on every AI output, couple data stripped at the browser.

§ 06Common questions

What people ask first.

Q01
Is this HoneyBook or Dubsado?

No. HoneyBook and Dubsado help you format a quote you already decided. Rateven helps you decide what to charge in the first place. Every number traces to a public source like The Knot 2026 Real Weddings Study. Your existing CRM stays where it is.

Q02
How is the $199 lifetime real?

One-time payment, 100 founder seats, 5-year minimum service commitment written into the terms. If we shut down earlier, a pro-rated refund formula is published in clause 3c. Not equity, not a security, not transferable. Read all five acknowledgments on the lifetime page before you buy.

Q03
Solo $19 a month or Lifetime $199 once, which makes sense?

Lifetime breaks even after 10 Solo months. If you intend to keep the workflow longer than that, the one-time payment costs less in real money. Solo is the right pick if you want to try before deciding or if you only need it for a single season. Both tiers unlock the same Pro features today and the same future Pro features. Lifetime is capped at 100 founder seats and will not be re-offered at $199.

Q04
What data do you use?

Public wedding-industry cost guides only. The Knot 2026 Real Weddings Study (n=10,474 couples), Zola, WeddingWire, Fearless Photographers, PPA, NACE, SAF, Mobile Beat, American Marriage Ministries. Every component in every calculator cites its source. No scraping, no user-submitted rate data.

Q05
Can I use this if I am not a wedding vendor?

Yes. Freelance software developers have their own calculator and 30 cited pricing guides for Stripe, Shopify, HubSpot, and Supabase integration work. The wedding and developer verticals share the same calibration engine.

Q06
Is my couple's data safe?

We never store personal identifying data about your couples. The HoneyBook CSV import strips client names, emails, phone numbers, and addresses in your browser before any calibration runs. Portfolio grading uses image URLs you paste; no images are stored, cached, or used to train AI models.

Q07
Do I need to sign up?

No sign-up for the free tier. Paid tiers require an email for license delivery. No tracking cookies, no analytics, no ad networks.

§ 07 / Sister desk

Freelance software developer?

Same calibration engine. Stripe, Shopify, HubSpot, Supabase taxonomies, 30 cited guides, client-ready PDF export. See the developer calculator ↗

§ 08Colophon

Trust, by design.
