One published plan: $199/month, described as full access to every feature with no locked screens and a dedicated account rep handling setup. The pricing page is currently running a promotion — 50% off ($99/month) for the first 12 months, plus an 8-week free trial — struck through the $199/month list price; the list price is recorded as the plan price and the promotion is noted separately. Other Spark Membership landing pages advertise different introductory offers and a $249/month recurring rate (see notes); this record uses the vendor's primary /pricing/ page.

Plan Price Includes Checked
Spark Membership $199/month [src]
Struck through on the pricing page in favor of a running promotion: "Get 50% Off Spark for your First 12 Months ($99/month) [$199] + 8 Week Free Trial." The $99/month rate and 8-week trial apply only for the stated period/condition; $199/month is the list price. Two other Spark Membership pages show a different figure: /price/ and /direct-to-trial/ both state the subscription continues at $249/month after their (differently sized) free trials. These pages disagree with each other and with /pricing/, which is why $199/month list is used here rather than $249/month.
"Full access to every feature — no limits, no locked screens." Setup is included: "Your dedicated account rep handles the entire setup," configuring automations, payments, and attendance for the school.

Fees beyond the subscription

Spark Membership fees beyond the subscription as published at sparkmembership.com
Fee Amount Checked
NSF fee (merchant account) $35 flat fee when a transaction fails due to insufficient funds in the merchant's own account (governed by payment processor Priority's policy); a $0.10 authorization fee applies instead when a customer's card is declined for insufficient funds [src]
White-labeled member app "Possible too at a small additional cost. Talk to our team" — amount not published [src]
Spark Ignite (website + marketing automation add-on) $199/month for the Ignite Pro Website and marketing toolkit, a separate add-on product; advertised setup offer of $1 for the first 30 days, described on the page as a $599 value [src]

Trial and commitment

Free trial
8 weeks, per the pricing page [src]
/pricing/ states "8 Week Free Trial" stacked with the first-12-months promotion. Other Spark Membership pages advertise different trial terms: /price/ offers "8 Weeks for free" converting to $249/month; /direct-to-trial/ offers a "4 Week Free Trial + 4 More Weeks for Just $1," also converting to $249/month; /app/ offers "$1 For 2 Weeks." These figures are inconsistent across the vendor's own landing pages.
Contract
No fixed term is stated generally. The Terms and Conditions define a "Service Term ... as specified in the applicable Order Form," which automatically renews for the same term (or one year, whichever is shorter) unless either party gives 30 days' notice of non-renewal. Payment obligations are non-cancellable during the term. [src]
Refunds
Fees paid are non-refundable once paid: "Payment obligations are non-cancellable and Fees paid are non-refundable." Downgrading a plan is explicitly excluded from any refund or credit. [src]
