Same Powerful Platform. Two Flexible Ways to Pay.
Both plans include full access to CaFÉ. The only difference is how you’re charged.
Plans do not auto-renew. Subscribers receive a notification near their subscription expiration date. CaFÉ’s use is subject to CaFÉ’s terms of service.
Pick the plan that's right for you.
CaFÉ Pro Plan:
Limited budget? No problem! Take advantage of a lower call fee and then pay as artists apply.
- Great for: Independent galleries, nonprofits, and inaugural events and competitions.
- Best when: You expect fewer than 250 submissions and/or want to minimize upfront costs.
CaFÉ Plus Plan:
Plan ahead with confidence when you choose this scalable option.
- Great for: Government agencies, universities, arts councils, and more.
- Best when: You want a predictable, fixed cost for budgeting, or if you expect a high volume of applications for your call.
