About Sprout

Sprout is a customer relationship management (CRM) and marketing automation platform built specifically for hospitality, leisure, and events businesses. Venues such as restaurants, bars, hotels, clubs, attractions, and event spaces use Sprout to centralize guest data from multiple sources (bookings, Wi‑Fi, POS, ticketing, and loyalty systems) into a single profile. From there, Sprout enables targeted email and SMS campaigns, automated guest journeys, and personalized offers designed to increase repeat visits, grow per‑guest spend, and build long‑term loyalty. The company is based in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia and operates online via its web platform at sproutsend.com.

A Sprout charge may appear on your bank or card statement when your venue or organization pays for its CRM and marketing platform subscription. Most customers are billed on a recurring basis (monthly or annually) for a software-as-a-service (SaaS) plan that may include a set number of contacts, venues, or messages, with additional charges for exceeding agreed limits or adding modules (such as SMS, marketing automation, or integrations). You might also see one‑time charges for onboarding or consulting services, SMS top-ups, campaign sends, or an authorization hold placed when first adding or updating a payment method. If your business started on a trial or promotional period, the first paid charge typically occurs automatically at the end of that trial, based on the plan you selected in your agreement or online account.

If you’re unsure why you see a Sprout charge, start by checking with your venue’s owner, marketing manager, or finance team to see if your business uses Sprout for CRM or marketing. Then log into your Sprout account (or ask the account holder) and review the Billing or Subscription section for recent invoices, plan details, and payment history, which normally match what appears on your statement. To resolve questions, use the support or contact options listed at sproutsend.com or within the platform (such as an in‑app help widget or contact form) and provide the last four digits of the card, the charge date, amount, and business name. Common issues—like duplicate subscriptions, outdated cards, overage fees, or trial-to-paid transitions—are usually resolved by updating billing details, adjusting your plan, or requesting a review of the transaction with Sprout’s support team.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why am I seeing a recurring charge from Sprout on my business card?

Sprout operates on a subscription basis, so most customers are billed monthly or annually for access to the CRM and marketing automation platform. The recurring charge you see is likely your agreed plan fee for your venue or group of venues, sometimes combined with any extras such as higher contact limits or additional modules. Check the Billing or Subscription area of your Sprout account (or your latest invoice PDF) to confirm your plan, billing cycle, and next renewal date.

What are Sprout’s typical pricing and subscription tiers?

Sprout generally offers tiered SaaS plans that scale by the number of venues, contacts, and features included—for example, entry‑level plans for single venues and higher tiers for multi‑venue groups or enterprise hospitality brands. Pricing is often provided via a tailored quote based on your venue size, database volume, messaging needs (email/SMS), and required integrations, rather than as a flat public price list. To see the exact amounts you’re being charged, refer to your Sprout proposal, contract, or the invoices available in your account’s Billing section.

Why was I charged by Sprout after a trial or demo period?

If your venue signed up for Sprout with a free or discounted trial, you may have been asked to enter a payment method that would be charged automatically when the trial ends. When that date passes, your account usually rolls into the selected paid plan, and the first subscription fee appears on your bank or card statement. You can confirm the trial end date and current plan by viewing your original signup or onboarding emails and by checking the Subscription details in your Sprout dashboard.

How do I cancel or pause my Sprout subscription to stop future charges?

To cancel or change your Sprout subscription, the account owner (or an authorized admin) should log into the platform and go to the Billing or Subscription section, where options are typically available to request cancellation, downgrade, or pause service at the end of the current term. Some customers are on minimum-term contracts or annual agreements, so cancellation may only take effect at the end of that agreed period and may require written notice. If you’re unsure of your contract terms, review your original service agreement or contact Sprout support through the contact details at sproutsend.com to confirm timelines and any applicable conditions.

Why do I see multiple or unusual Sprout amounts, such as smaller or irregular charges?

In addition to your main subscription fee, you may see separate or occasional Sprout charges for items like SMS credit top‑ups, high‑volume campaign sends, additional venues or contact bundles, or professional services (such as onboarding or consulting). These amounts might be smaller or vary month to month, depending on your usage and agreed pricing. Check your recent Sprout invoices and usage reports to see line‑item details that explain each extra charge; if something doesn’t match your expectations, contact Sprout support with the invoice number and date for a breakdown.

Does Sprout place temporary authorization holds or $0–$2 test charges?

When you add or update a payment card in Sprout, your payment provider may show a small temporary authorization or test amount to verify that the card is valid. This is not an actual fee and should automatically reverse or disappear from your pending transactions within a few business days, depending on your bank. Only finalized invoices and subscription or usage fees from Sprout represent real charges; you can match them to invoices in your Billing section.

How can I get a copy of my Sprout invoice or receipt for a specific charge?

Log into your Sprout account and open the Billing, Invoices, or Payments area, where you can usually view, download, or email PDF invoices and receipts for each transaction. Match the charge date and amount shown on your bank statement to the invoice list to locate the correct document. If you don’t have access to the account or can’t find the invoice, ask your venue’s Sprout admin or contact Sprout via the support options at sproutsend.com with the charge date, amount, and last four digits of the card so they can help locate the record.

How do I dispute a Sprout charge or request a refund?

If you believe a Sprout charge is incorrect—such as a billing error, unexpected renewal, or duplicate payment—contact Sprout support directly before initiating a bank dispute. Provide details including your venue name, account email, charge amount, date, and any relevant invoice numbers so they can review your account and contract terms. Refunds are typically evaluated case‑by‑case and may be limited for services already delivered or for charges within a fixed contract period, but support can clarify whether an adjustment or credit is possible.
