Plans

Start free. Keep almost all of it.

Your wall costs nothing to run. Paid plans lower our cut and switch on the tools you grow with — and every plan pays out straight to your own Stripe account.

Plans are not tiers

Two different things share the word “tier” in this business, so here is the difference in one line each. You never pay for a tier, and a backer never pays for a plan.

You pay for this

A plan — Free, Pro, or Max

A monthly subscription you buy from us. It sets our cut of each backing and which tools are switched on. Change or cancel it any time; your wall stays live either way.

Your backers pay for this

A tier — Bronze to Title

The level of a single backing, decided by the amount someone gives you. It sets which plaque appears on your wall and what perks you promised at that level. It costs you nothing.

Free walls take the standard $5–$100 amounts, which is Bronze. A paid plan lets you open the tiers above it. See how the wall works →

Fees

Two fees, and nothing else

There are no setup fees, listing fees, or payout fees. Two things come out of each backing, and they are independent of each other — our cut does not include Stripe’s.

01

Our platform fee

10% on Free, 5% on Pro, 3% on Max. This is the only fee your plan changes.

02

Stripe’s processing fee

About 2.9% + 30¢ for US cards. Stripe sets it, it varies by country and payment method, and it never comes to us.

What a $100 backing looks like on Pro

Backing$100
SponsoredBy fee (5%)−$5
Stripe processing (approx.)−$3.20
You receiveabout $91.80

Stripe’s share is an estimate — the exact amount depends on the card and country. Because you are the merchant of record on your own backings, Stripe issues your 1099-K where applicable, not us.

Payouts are U.S. only for now. Receiving money needs a United States–based Stripe account. Your wall works everywhere — more payout countries are coming.

Free is a real plan, not a trial.

Start with a wall that costs nothing. Upgrade when the backers show up.
