Folloverse pricing: one flat 6% fee
One flat platform fee, free for your first three months. The only other cost is standard payment processing, which Stripe bills directly. Every creator platform pays that same processing fee.
flat platform fee
The 6% applies to what your fans pay you. For your first three months it's 0%, so you keep everything except payment processing. After that it becomes 6% automatically. There's nothing to activate.
What you actually pay
Your take-home is what your fans pay, minus two things:
- 1. Folloverse platform fee: 6% (0% for your first three months). That's all we take.
- 2. Payment processing, billed by Stripe: roughly 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. This isn't a Folloverse charge. It's the standard cost of accepting cards, and every creator platform pays it. Exact rates depend on your fans' payment method and country.
Example: a $10 monthly pledge
Stripe processing comes to about $0.59. The Folloverse fee is $0.00 for your first 3 months, then $0.60. So you keep around $9.41 to start, and about $8.81 once the intro period ends. On a platform charging a 10% fee, the same pledge leaves you about $8.40.

Pricing questions
When does the 0% intro period end?
Three months after your first payment. After that the standard 6% applies automatically, with nothing for you to do.
Do my fans pay anything to follow me?
No. Following and free accounts are free. Fans only pay for paid memberships, pay-per-view posts, or products you choose to sell.
Who holds my earnings?
Payments and payouts run on Stripe. Folloverse never holds your fans' card details, and there's no lock-in — you can leave at any time.
