# Pricing
Free for customers. Hotels pay a placement fee.
Workgrounds is **100% free** for companies booking group hotel rooms. There are no contracts, no per-user charges, and no hidden fees.
## How is this free?
Workgrounds operates like a modern, AI-first travel agency. Hotels pay us a standard placement fee (typically 10%) for bringing them your bulk business. You get the full negotiated discount — no room rate markups, no selling of your data.
| Line item | Amount |
| --- | --- |
| Hotel rate | $200 |
| Your discount | -$40 |
| You pay | $160 |
The hotel pays Workgrounds a placement fee from their marketing budget — not from your pocket.

## What counts as a room block?
20 room nights is the minimum. That's when hotels start treating you like a group with contracts, attrition policies, and negotiated rates.
