€350.00 a year, plus the price of 1 national postage stamp per member
Not “about the price of a stamp”. We peg the member fee to the actual price of an An Post national stamp — €1.85 today.
€3.25 per member, per year
And it leaves your club roughly
€898.00
better off every year than running it on paper — and countless thankless hours nobody has to spend on it.
Here is the itemised sumOn this plan, day permits are not charged for. Sell fifty or five thousand and the price above does not move. On this membership plan there is no percentage on permits, and the money goes straight into the club's own Stripe account.
No setup fees. No per-transaction platform cut on the membership plan. Cancel any year.
Where that saving comes from
The same 250-member club, costed both ways.

Why price it in stamps?
Because it is the cost we remove. A club that posts membership cards spends a stamp on every member before it has printed anything, stuffed an envelope, or chased the members whose cards never arrived. Tadpole's member fee is that same stamp — except the card is already on their phone.
Because it keeps us honest about inflation. Our costs rise the way every Irish business's costs rise. Rather than announce arbitrary increases, we track a public, independently-set benchmark. An Post moved the national rate to €1.85 on 3 February 2026. So did we. If it never moves again, neither do we.
It also means you can check our pricing without taking our word for it. The rate is published on anpost.com.
Everything is in the price
Card payments go through your club's own Stripe account, so the money goes straight to the club. Stripe's fees go to Stripe, not to us.
Email is sent through your club's own free Brevo account. Its free tier allows 300 emails a day — comfortably enough for day-to-day club traffic. Very large clubs sending one-day blasts to every member may occasionally need a paid Brevo plan, paid to Brevo, not us.
The one optional extra: SMS
Email to your members is included, and for most clubs it is all you need — renewals, confirmations and club news all go by email. Text messages are the one add-on that costs extra, for clubs that want to reach members by SMS as well: €49.00 a year for SMS sending, plus message credits as you use them.
Skip it entirely and nothing above changes — SMS is never required.
