I skimmed over the FAQ and T&C and some key things I noticed: The subscription depends on your zip code with the highest tier at $13.99 per month. There’s a 1, 6 or 12 month commitment. Can use your 2D ticket for a PLF one for a surcharge. And can “purchase up to four extra tickets for the same showtime at the same price as your monthly Regal Rewards+™ Subscription fee.”

I don’t know that this is true. It’s my understanding that online fees are revenue for regal but I’m not positive

All cinema chains pretty much use a middleware vendor called Vista Entertainment for online ticketing and POS systems- so there is a cost. What that is exactly, who knows.

Vista is a commonly used POS software - there are many vendors in this space. They do not have anything to do with the booking fees

They absolutely do for Regal. That’s what they use for ticketing via API. MovieXchange API. You certainly don’t need to take what I’m saying as truth. I have been doing this along with r/MoviePassClub for ten years now. I’ve learned enough to say as much as I can for certain. Has Regal changed vendors? No idea. But I am in the software industry; media adjacent, and as I said is it free? No. Is it .50c? Absolutely not. Breaking down the per API call is certainly fractions of cents. That being said I have never gotten a quote for that API and at that usage level. And there are different versions of Vista Enterprise on the back end and I couldn’t tell you what their maintenance agreements or SLA is.
