£0 in fees to your business. Ever.
No monthly fee. No setup fee. No per-booking fee. No lock-in. You receive your full price on every booking, bookings are paid in full up front, and your business is never billed a penny — and that's the whole pricing page, really.
A £44 weekend stay
Costs your business £0 in fees. Your price for the stay — never below your £44 — lands in your bank, reconciled to the penny.
A £250 fortnight
Also £0 in fees. Paid in full when the customer books — and if you decline or the request expires, they're automatically refunded in full.
A quiet January
Costs you £0. We only earn when you do. That's the whole point.
What would Sable cost your business?
Drag to your typical month. The answer never changes — Sable bills your business nothing, in a busy month or a quiet one.
You receive your price for the dates in full: your rate card, lifted for demand on those dates and never below it. Customers see one all-in price that also carries Sable's booking-service charge to the customer — paid by the customer, never by you.
What the monthly-fee crowd actually costs.
Subscription kennel software bills you every month before you've boarded a single dog — January just the same as July — and often adds a setup or training fee to get started. Sable bills your business nothing at all: no monthly fee, no setup fee, no per-booking fee. A £4,000 month costs you £0 in fees; so does a quiet one. There's no subscription ticking away through the off-season. And because Sable is paid by the customer, per booking, our interests stay linked: a subscription company gets paid whether your pens are full or empty. We don't — which is exactly how we like it.
And that's only the software half. The other half of Sable does a marketplace's job — bringing you customers, through the app and through AI assistants that can check your live availability. Pet marketplaces charge 15–20% commission for the introduction alone. Sable bills your business nothing for either half: you receive your price for the dates in full — your rate card, lifted for demand and never below it — and the customer's all-in price carries Sable's booking-service charge to the customer.
Why we price it this way.
Sable is built inside a working kennels & cattery, and boarding is seasonal — everyone in this trade knows the January dip. Software that charges the same in January as in July is priced for the software company's convenience, not yours. Never billing your business — and earning only when a booking happens — felt like the only honest way to do it.

The fine print, without the fine print.
Is there really no monthly fee?
Really. Sable has no monthly subscription, no setup fee, no training fee, no per-booking fee and no lock-in. Your business is never billed anything — a quiet month costs £0, and so does a busy one.
How does Sable make money, then?
You set your rate card. Customers see one all-in price for their dates, made of two things: your price for those dates — your rate card, lifted for demand on those dates by Sable's system on your behalf, never from anything about the customer and never below your rate card — and Sable's booking-service charge to the customer, set from the same demand signal. For every £1 that demand adds to a night, 20p lifts your price and 80p is Sable's charge; the customer pays both. Your price lands in your own account in full; only Sable's charge goes to Sable, and never anything from you. So Sable earns only when your diary fills — never by billing your business.
When do I pay?
You don't — ever. No invoices, no direct debits, nothing to remember. Customers pay in full when they book, and your price for the stay lands in your bank account, reconciled to the penny.
What does a quiet month cost?
Nothing. If January brings in no bookings, Sable costs £0 in January. Monthly-fee software charges you the same in January as in July.
What would a typical month cost?
£0 in fees, whatever the month brings. A £44 weekend stay, a £250 fortnight, a £4,000 month — your business is billed nothing on any of them. Sable is paid by the customer, as part of the listed price, for the booking service.
Do my customers pay anything extra?
No. They see one all-in price for their dates and that's what they pay — no booking fee or service charge added at checkout. Sable's booking-service charge is inside that price, set from demand on those dates, never an extra on top of it.
Is setup free too?
Yes. We come to your premises, set up your services, rates, capacity and policies, and bring your existing client and pet records across. Most businesses are live in about half an hour.
What's the catch?
There isn't one. Sable is paid by the customer, per booking, so we only earn when your diary fills. A subscription company gets paid the same whether your kennels are full or empty; when your bookings dip, our income dips with yours. That keeps us on your side of the table — everything we build is built to fill your diary, because that's the only way we grow.
Let's have a cuppa.
We come to you, set everything up for free, and you take your first booking before we leave. Everything Sable does is included — no tiers, no add-ons, no “pro” plan — and because we only earn when your diary fills, the work doesn't stop when the setup visit ends. It costs your business nothing: not to start, not per booking, not ever.
