# How do I price a competition?

> The five competition pricing modes and how to assign a GL code for revenue tracking.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * Available on plans that include **Competitions** (defaults off) — if you don't see it, ask your Uplifter contact.
  * Uplifter always recomputes the price at checkout on the server — the amount shown in the browser is never trusted, so registrants can't be charged the wrong amount.
  * Assign a **GL code** so competition revenue is tracked in your financials.
</Note>

Set pricing on the **Pricing** step of the competition builder. Pick one of five modes:

* **Free** — no registration fee.
* **Flat Fee** — one flat entry fee per athlete, no matter how many events they enter.
* **Per Event** — a set price for each event an athlete enters.
* **Tiered** — a price per event that changes by how many events the athlete enters (event-count bands), so entering more events can lower the per-event price.
* **Per Category** — a price set individually on each event/category.

Where the price is stored depends on the mode. **Flat Fee** and **Per Event** use a single entry-fee field (labeled "Competition Entry Fee" or "Price Per Event"). **Tiered** prices live on the tiers you define, and **Per Category** prices live on each individual category.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose a pricing mode">
    Select Free, Flat Fee, Per Event, Tiered, or Per Category.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the amounts">
    Fill in the flat fee, the tier bands, or each category's price depending on the mode.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the GL code">
    Pick a GL code so the revenue posts to the right account, then continue and save.
  </Step>
</Steps>
