What stays free

Every public page of every tournament — the draw, the tab, results, team and adjudicator pages — is free to read for anyone with the link, whether or not the tournament has been paid for. Debaters and audiences never hit a paywall.

The motion bank is free. Every tournament created before Premium launched stays free, forever.

Why we started charging

NekoTab was free for its first six months. In that time more than 550 tournaments ran on it, and it made no money at all. We tried advertising; it earned a rounding error and made the site worse to use.

The choice was to let NekoTab rot, or to ask for something. $5 per tournament is what it takes to keep the servers running, the backups honest, and someone available when a draw breaks an hour before round one.

We have set it deliberately low — well under what comparable tab software charges. It is a one-off, not a subscription, and it is per tournament, not per team.

Questions

Is this a subscription?
No. You pay once for a tournament and that tournament is unlocked for good.
I already run a tournament on NekoTab. Do I have to pay now?
No. Everything created before Premium launched stays free forever, including tournaments that are mid-competition.
Do my debaters and judges have to pay?
Never. Only the person setting up the tournament pays, once. Participants and the public use it free.
What if I run several tournaments a year?
Each one is a separate payment. If you are running a circuit or a series, write to us — we would rather find an arrangement than lose you.
We are a school society and genuinely cannot pay.
Then get in touch and tell us about it. We would rather your tournament ran than not. Contact us.
How do I pay?
Card or PayPal, through Lemon Squeezy. We never see or store your card details.
