The all-in-one submission and awards management platform that doesn't break the bank. Dapple is designed with both the creator and the mid-size org in mind. It gives you lots of enterprise-grade features at an affordable cost, saving you both hours in admin as well as a high annual subscription bill! We're also independent with no outside investment, meaning we can focus on you.
Submittable charges a whopping 5% + $0.99 per transaction and use their own payment system to manage your payments. This means you don't receive your funds for over a month. Dapple by comparison, charges 3.5% + $0.65 per transaction and you receive your funds instantly. Try out our pricing calculator to show you just how much you'll save!
Dapple uses Stripe Connect to integrate directly with your own Stripe account. Every payment is instantly deposited into your Stripe account with Dapple's fees already deducted. There are no additional Stripe fees to pay, as these are fulfilled by Dapple.
