Your First Sale Is Just the Beginning
That first sale isn’t just income — it’s a launch. It marks your transition from hobbyist to professional, the true beginning of your content business. That’s why we take a one-time 25% cut on your first sale — not to profit off your start, but to cover up to 2 years of hosting and platform access, so you can grow without limits.
After just 7 sales, you unlock Pro status — dropping our fee to only 7%. Keep going and you’ll reach Icon tier, with one of the lowest platform fees in the industry at just 4.75%. 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 25% (to cover hosting + setup) 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.
