Commission-free sounds great in theory — but what does it actually mean for your business in real numbers?
A Real-World Comparison
Let’s say you run a salon with 50 coupon redemptions per month, average ticket $60:
- On Groupon: 50% discount → $30/customer → 50% commission → you keep $750/month
- On CouponsNearby ($79/mo Pro): 20% discount → $48/customer → 0% commission → you keep $2,400/month
That’s a difference of $1,650 per month — or $19,800 per year — going back into your pocket.
Why Platforms Still Charge Something
CouponsNearby charges a flat monthly fee to maintain the platform, run marketing, and provide merchant tools like analytics, AI-generated graphics, and promotional videos. You’re paying for a service, not giving away your revenue.
