Business model
Mingle Room hosts can upgrade to MinglePro for only $49/year. Upgraded Mingle Rooms have a larger capacity, access to business features such as desktop broadcasting, and also have privacy options.
Hosts have the ability to charge for their Mingle through our full MingleVite and MingleTicket service which guarantees the host gets paid for hosting a live mingle. Mingleverse adds 10% service fee on the ticket price but rebates the Mingle Room fee.
