We don't charge you for your own growth.
Most platforms take a cut of every member payment or gate the basics behind their top plan. Here is how Drry stacks up, honestly.
| The other platforms | Drry | |
|---|---|---|
| Cut of your member payments | A percentage off the top, or a pricier plan to lower it | We take 0%. You only pay Stripe's standard card fee (about 2.9% + 30 cents) |
| Who owns your payments | Their processor and their billing relationship, so leaving means starting over | Your own Stripe account. Your customers and subscriptions stay yours |
| Cost to start | Monthly fee from day one, or a short trial clock | Free, no card, no countdown |
| Your own branded space | Often locked behind a higher tier | Your own address like grace.drry.com, plus full customization, on free |
| Courses, community, payments | Frequently split across separate add-ons | All in one, from the start |
| Funnels and landing pages | A separate $49 to $97/mo tool, tracking that stops at the click | Built in, with views, joins, and revenue attributed per page |
| Emailing your members | A separate $40/mo email tool, or no native broadcasts at all | Built in on every plan, even free. On Growth, Spark drafts your emails and funnels for you |
| Seeing who is drifting away | Knowing who is active is locked behind a $199/mo plan, or you only get basic charts | See who is active, who is drifting away, and which lessons people love, on Creator ($29) |
Why creators switch
What you actually get.
- Keep 100% of member payments. Only Stripe's standard processing fee applies, we take nothing on top.
- Payments run through your own Stripe account, so your customers and subscriptions belong to you, not the platform. No payment lock-in.
- Funnels built in: fast landing pages on your domain with views, joins, and revenue attributed per page. Standalone funnel tools charge $49 to $97 a month for less.
- A genuinely free tier: 100 members, 5 GB storage, unlimited courses, and the community feed, with no card required.
- Courses, a community feed, members, and payments in one branded space you own.
- Your own address like grace.drry.com out of the box, with custom domain and site white label on paid tiers, and white-label email from your own domain on Growth.
- Member analytics on the $29 Creator plan: who is showing up, what is landing, and who is quietly drifting away. The kind of insight other platforms save for their priciest plans.
- Get paid for 1:1s and packages: send a client a one-time or installment link with an agreement they sign before paying. Built in, free on every plan, and no platform fee. Other platforms make you bolt on a separate contract tool, and most never reach 0%.
- Email your whole community, built in on every plan, even free (100 sends a month free, unlimited on paid), no add-on and no second tool to wire up. Creator adds email automations: welcome journeys, lead-magnet delivery, and win-backs that run on their own. And on Growth, Spark drafts your emails AND your funnel pages for you, pulling from your own courses and writing in your voice, so you start from a finished draft instead of a blank page. Tweak it and send.
