Free Plan vs. VIP Plan: Which Saves More for Basketball Programs

The break-even point is simple. At $4-11 savings per item, a program selling 15 items per month breaks even on the $59/month VIP plan. Any volume above 15 items per month is pure savings that flow into program profit.

Example: 50 tees per month on Free plan at $23.93 base = $1,196.50. Same 50 on VIP at $19.88 base = $994. Monthly savings: $202.50. After $59 plan cost, the VIP plan puts $143.50 extra in the program's pocket per month.
