Surge pricing, or dynamic pricing, was once largely limited to large corporations in the airline and ride-share spaces.

Now fitness studios, movie theaters, bowling alleys and even restaurants are charging customers different prices for the same goods and services.

Surge pricing can make planning ahead difficult — if for example you've budgeted for an activity that suddenly changes in price.
