Also, the pricing makes participation accessible. If you have the means, or if your work is reimbursing you, you can choose to pay it forward for attendees who need registration support.

ThriveLib uses tiered pricing: $75 is subsidized, $100 is standard pricing with access to deliverables, $125 is the pay-it-forward ticket to help cover students, and un(der)employed attendees.
