Know what your checkout actually costs.

An auto checkout budget has three separate parts: your membership, the products you buy from retailers and the service fee for eligible successful checkouts. This guide shows how Snagged calculates those costs, including a worked example you can check before choosing a plan.

Keep membership, retailer charges and service fees separate.

Membership
Your recurring Snagged plan pays for service access and its included features. Monthly and annual billing have different payment schedules.
Retailer purchase
The store charges for the products, plus any applicable tax and shipping. Buying a Snagged membership does not pay for the products on your watchlist.
Snagged service fee
A separate drop invoice applies your rate to the eligible margin described below. The pricing page calls this a “profit cut.” Optional purchases, such as retailer accounts, are separate too.

All figures on this page are in USD. Check the retailer’s currency and your payment provider’s conversion charges when buying across regions.

What the membership costs

Current paid membership charges and standard service-fee rates in US dollars
PlanMonthlyAnnual, paid upfrontProfit cut
Snagged Pro$39.99$426.6910–15%
Snagged Enterprise$449.99$4,589.905%

The 14-day trial has no membership charge, but requires a payment method. Its 20% profit cut still applies to eligible successful checkouts. Unless you cancel before it ends, the trial automatically renews on Snagged Pro at $39.99 per month.

An eligible referral gives 25% off the first paid monthly membership invoice. At the current Pro price, that first month is $29.99, then $39.99 per month. The referral discount does not apply to annual billing, retailer purchases or drop service fees.

Compare profile allowances and other features in the current plan table. Review the price, billing interval and renewal terms at checkout; manage renewal in Settings → Membership.

The fee uses a recorded margin, not your actual resale proceeds.

For each product in a drop, staff records a unit retail price and a market value. The positive difference between those two values is multiplied by the number of billable units. Those amounts are added together, then your service-fee rate is applied once to the drop total, rounded down to a whole cent.

Fee basis = max(market value − unit retail price, 0) × billable units

The market value is a billing input set for the drop. It is not evidence that you sold the product at that price. Snagged does not wait for you to resell an item, and keeping it for your collection does not remove the fee. If the recorded market value is at or below the recorded retail price, that product contributes zero to the fee basis.

Service invoices use checkout reports marked successful, subject to verification and cancellation adjustments. Failed or declined attempts are not successful checkouts. Approved cancelled units are excluded or adjusted through the cancellation workflow. Review the product values, units and rate on your invoice, and ask support about anything that does not match your order.

The standard plan rates appear above. Your invoice can use a separately agreed rate, so use the rate shown for your account when estimating a charge.

Example: two items at the same retailer

This is an illustrative calculation, not a current product offer or a forecast of resale value. Assume one full monthly Pro term, two billable units, no cancellations and no discounts or account credits.

Retail price per unit
$69.99
Staff-recorded market value per unit
$99.99
Retailer product total · 2 units
$139.98
Fee basis · 2 × $30.00
$60.00
Pro service fee · 10–15%
$6.00–$9.00
One monthly Pro membership
$39.99
Combined cost in this example
$185.97–$188.97

This combined amount excludes retailer tax, shipping, payment-provider conversion charges and optional purchases. It includes the full monthly membership once, even if these are the only two items you buy that month. Any costs of later selling the items are outside this example.

Check the whole purchase before adding it to your watchlist.

  • Confirm the exact product, its sale unit and the quantity you want. One bundle is not the same as one pack inside it.
  • Set a maximum product price deliberately. That field is not a combined budget for membership, service fees, tax and shipping.
  • Check all related requests if you are following the same item at multiple stores. Plan for more than one request succeeding.
  • Confirm your service-fee rate and ask about the drop’s recorded values before committing to a purchase you cannot evaluate.
  • Keep retailer receipts and watch for cancellation or shipping updates. A successful checkout does not guarantee fulfillment.

Use the first-drop setup checklist to prepare your profile and watchlist. If you no longer want an item, pause the saved request and confirm with the team that any active tasks have stopped.

Auto checkout cost questions

Is the service fee a percentage of everything I spend at the retailer?
No. It applies to the positive difference between the drop’s recorded market value and recorded unit retail price, multiplied by billable units. Membership and the retailer’s purchase charge are separate.
Does the free trial include free products or waive the profit cut?
No. The 14-day trial waives the membership charge for that period. You still pay retailers for purchases, and the trial’s 20% profit cut applies to eligible successful checkouts.
Do I owe a fee only after I resell an item?
No. The calculation uses values recorded for the drop, not your eventual sale price. A service fee can apply when you keep an item, and the recorded market value is not a guarantee of what you could sell it for.
What should I do if the retailer cancels an order?
Submit a cancellation claim with the order details through the dashboard. The team reviews the cancelled units and any invoice adjustment. Keep the retailer’s refund or authorization status separate from the Snagged service invoice.
