What the Side Hustle Summit costs

Attending costs nothing; the decision that costs money comes mid-week. Here is every price attached to this event, plus the version history that explains the contradictory figures you will find elsewhere.

Editorial card: the ticket is free and the paid program is $1,995 one-time

There is no ticket price — attending is free

Settled on August 9, 2026, when the official event page published its full content: attendance is 100% free — no paid tickets, no card required, no upsell to attend — and replays are included within 24 hours of each session. Registration opened August 17, 2026 and is live now. There is no paid ticket tier to evaluate at all, which breaks this format's usual free-plus-VIP pattern. Every price on this page is carried, dated, in the ledger on our Side Hustle Summit review.

The prices that are published

Partner documentation sets out the full offer stack sold during the event.

Bar chart showing the spend range from $0 to attend, $1,995 for the main offer, up to $3,040 for everything. — Declining the companion offer removes nothing from the core program.

Table of the published offer stack: $1,995 core, $995 companion, two $25 order bumps. — Every price here is carried and dated in the ledger.

Item	Price	What it is
Core offer	$1,995 one-time	Monetise, Iman Gadzhi’s program. Not summit-exclusive.
Companion offer	$995	A second offer presented after the core purchase.
Order bump	$25	A small add-on at checkout.
Order bump	$25	A second small add-on at checkout.

So the realistic range for someone who buys the main thing is $1,995, and for someone who takes everything presented, roughly $3,040. Nobody is required to take the companion offer, and declining it does not remove anything from the core program.

Why other reviews say $999

Search for reviews of this product and you will find at least three different prices. They are not contradictions. They are different versions, and almost nobody dates them.

Table of three versions and prices: $999 in early 2025, $1,995 from September 2025, $1,995 in 2026. — They are not contradictions. They are different versions, undated.

Version	Price	When	What was in it
Monetise 1.0	$999 for 12 months, plus an optional $97 upgrade	January–February 2025	Personal Brand Blueprint, Synthesise AI, Flozy Pro
Monetise 2.0	$1,995 one-time	From September 29, 2025	Digital Product Formula 2.0, Synthesise AI, Ghostwriter OS
Current	$1,995 — also the Side Hustle Summit core offer	Selling September 2026	The above, plus AskIman AI and Perfect Product Insurance

Version 1.0 was sold as software with the program included, which is why the original launch framing emphasised paying for the software and getting the program free. Version 2.0 inverted that: a one-time $1,995 purchase, Flozy Pro dropped, Ghostwriter OS added.

So a page telling you this costs $999 and includes Flozy Pro is not lying. It is describing 2025. Check the publication date on any review quoting a price, including this one — ours says August 31, 2026.

The stated value figure

The offer is presented with component values attached: Digital Product Formula 2.0 at $1,495, Synthesise AI at $2,999, Ghostwriter OS at $2,999, Perfect Product Insurance at $7,800, plus AskIman AI, the Monetise Mania competition, and bonus courses including Agency Accelerator, Ad Architect and Sam Ovens’ Consulting Accelerator. The stated total is $15,293.

Treat that the way you would treat any stacked-value figure: it is a marketing number, not a market price. None of those components has an independent market at those prices. That does not make the bundle bad — the Consulting Accelerator inclusion in particular is the item buyers most often single out as genuinely valuable, since the rights to it were bought outright — but a $15,293 headline against a $1,995 price is persuasion, not valuation. We cover this further under complaints and red flags.

When you can actually register

Registration opened on August 17, 2026 and is open now. The event runs September 6–13 — five live sessions (Sept 6–9 and 13) at 1 PM Eastern — and the sales window closes September 13. Attendance is free, so registration is just a sign-up; the fastest route is the official event page. We are not running a mailing list.

Before you spend anything, read the refund terms. They are the part of this offer most commonly misunderstood, and the misunderstanding runs in the expensive direction.

Common questions

What is the real cost of the Side Hustle Summit?

Attending costs nothing - the official page confirms no paid tickets and no card required. The paid program sold during the event is $1,995 one-time, with a $995 companion offer and two $25 order bumps also documented.

Is the Side Hustle Summit free to attend?

Yes - confirmed. The official event page states attendance is 100% free: no paid tickets, no card required, no upsell to attend, and replays are included within 24 hours of each session.

Why do some reviews say the program costs $999?

Because they are describing Monetise 1.0, sold January to February 2025 at $999 for 12 months. Version 2.0 launched September 29, 2025 at $1,995 one-time, and that is the version being sold at the summit.

What is the total if I buy everything offered?

Roughly $3,040: the $1,995 core offer, a $995 companion offer, and two $25 order bumps. Only the $1,995 core purchase is required to get the program itself.

Is the $15,293 stated value real?

It is a marketing figure built by assigning prices to bundled components. None of those components trades independently at those prices, so treat the number as persuasion rather than valuation.

Is Monetise cheaper if I buy it at the Side Hustle Summit than directly from monetise.com after September 13?

No. The price is $1,995 one-time through either door. Monetise 2.0 has sold at that price since September 29, 2025, and the summit's core offer is the same product. The only thing buying inside the launch can add is event-specific bonuses, and none had been published as of August 31, 2026. Two timing facts matter. The summit sales window closes September 13. Monetise.com currently shows the offer closed with a waitlist and is expected to reopen during the summit, so waiting means waiting for the next opening rather than buying the same day.

Is the free Side Hustle Summit ticket enough, or do I need a paid VIP tier to get the replays?

The free ticket is enough. The official event page confirms attendance is 100% free, with no paid tickets, no card required and no upsell to attend, and replays are included within 24 hours of each session. There is no VIP tier to buy at all, which breaks this format's usual free-plus-VIP pattern. The one open point is how long each replay stays available, which the organizers have not stated. Anyone asking you to pay to reserve a seat or to access replays is not the official registration.
