  • Each has a real cost: Luma 5% platform fee on paid events in free tier can add up for high-volume organizers; MoEngage no dollar figures are published for any tier across its three products (Inform, the core cross-channel platform, and Personalize); every plan routes to a Let's Talk or Request Demo sales conversation
