Can Your Society Afford Digital Allotment?

Let's find out together - and discover an opportunity you might not have considered

Calculate Your Annual Cost

Enter your society's details below:

Current members with an allocated plot
People waiting for a plot to become available
Inspections, Finance, Communications, etc.

Your Annual Cost

Total members: 150
Base platform (150 × £5.00): £750.00
Modules (3 × £12.00): £36.00
Total per year: £786.00

"But We Can't Afford £786.00 Per Year..."

That's understandable. Allotment societies aren't flush with cash. But here's something worth considering:

Your Waiting List Is an Untapped Resource

You have 50 people on your waiting list. They want a plot. They're invested in your society's future. But right now, managing that list costs you time and money - with nothing in return.

£12/year
50 waiting list members × £12: £600.00/year

The Real Picture

Digital Allotment cost: £786.00
Waiting list revenue: - £600.00
Net position: -£186.00 shortfall

The waiting list fees don't just cover the platform - they generate surplus for your society.

Why Waiting List Fees Work

Engaged Applicants

People who pay stay in touch. They update their phone number. They respond to emails. They're invested.

Cleaner Lists

Free waiting lists fill with ghosts - people who moved, forgot, or lost interest. A small fee is natural list hygiene.

Fairer System

Plot holders pay rent. Why should waiting list members get indefinite free service? A nominal fee says "you're part of this community too."

Less Admin

Fewer "is this person still interested?" phone calls. Fewer bounced emails. The list maintains itself.
