Launch pricing & offers (2026)
Updated event pricing and the first-3-months-free Pro launch offer for shops.
CrankMart is in launch mode. Two pricing changes landed on 2026-05-24 — both apply to new bookings only. Anyone already on the previous rates is grandfathered until their current package ends.
Event listing pricing (new rates)
| Tier | Old price | New price |
|---|---|---|
| Free | R0 | R0 (unchanged) |
| Featured | R299/event | R120/event |
| Headline | R799/event | R499/event |
Featured stays the most popular option — same 30-day window, social share card, and search-result highlighting. Headline retains the homepage spotlight, newsletter inclusion, and dedicated event-page boost.
Grandfathering: if you booked at the old rates before 2026-05-24, your current event runs out at the price you paid. New bookings from organisers (and re-runs of past events) use the new prices.

Why we adjusted prices
For events: the SA cycling event market anchors around R150/listing on competing platforms. The previous Featured rate (R299) priced us out of comparison; the new rate puts us decisively below the anchor while keeping a clear margin between Featured and Headline.
For shops: the Pro tier compounds best after a shop has a few months of inventory and reviews on the platform. The 3-month runway lets new shops cross that threshold before paying — and shops that don't get value during the free window can leave without friction.
