Creative Distro

Your First Sale Is Just the Beginning

Your creative journey starts with fair, transparent pricing. Our tiered fee structure rewards your growth — starting at just 7% for your first 6 sales as a Hobbyist, then dropping to 6% when you become a Creator at 7 sales.

Keep growing and you'll reach Icon tier at 1,000+ sales, with one of the lowest platform fees in the industry at just 4.75%. Plus, Stripe's standard 2.9% + $0.30 fee — no hidden charges, no tricks, no lock-in. This isn't just a tier system — it's a roadmap for creators serious about scaling their success.

Our Tiered Fee Structure

We believe creators should keep more as they grow. That's why our platform fee starts at just 7% and drops as you hit sales milestones. Unlike other platforms that lock you into 25–30% forever, we reward your growth.

Example below shows your earnings on a $10 download after Stripe’s 2.9% + $0.30 fee is applied.
