We take 0% of what your members pay you.
On every plan, including the free one. Not as a launch offer, not until you cross a revenue threshold, and not only if you use our payment processor. This page says exactly what that covers, what it does not, and why we are able to mean it.
The commitment
Drry has never taken a percentage of a coach's revenue, and we are not planning to start. Our platform fee is 0% on every plan, on memberships, payment links, product sales and tickets alike, and we make our money from a flat monthly subscription instead.
Stated publicly on . If we ever proposed to change it, we would say so on this page and in writing to every coach on the platform, with notice, rather than by editing a footnote.
What 0% covers, and what it does not.
A promise with an unstated exception is worth less than no promise, so here is the whole of it, both halves.
We take 0% of
- Membership subscriptions
- Monthly or yearly, at one price or across membership levels. The charge is created on your own Stripe account, and no application fee is attached to it.
- Payment links and installments
- A one-time link or a fixed number of monthly installments, with the agreement signed before checkout opens. Same account, same 0%.
- Digital products
- Every file you sell from your bio-link store, on every plan including free.
- Event tickets
- Paid sessions and workshops settle to your account like everything else.
What you still pay, and to whom
- Stripe's own fees
- Whatever Stripe charges, Stripe charges you, not us: your connected account is set up so that Stripe's fees come out of your balance rather than ours, and Stripe publishes and sets that schedule rather than we do. Card processing is the main one, about 2.9% + 30 cents on a card in the US. None of it reaches us and we add nothing on top of it, but we are not going to pretend your sale is free of cost either.
- Your Drry plan
- A flat monthly subscription: $0 on Free, $29 on Creator, $99 on Growth. It does not move when your revenue does. That is the whole business model, and it is why 0% costs us nothing to promise.
- Live video beyond your plan
- If you run native video rooms past what your plan includes, and only if you switch overage on yourself, those minutes are billed as usage against a spend cap you set to the cent. It is a charge on video minutes, never a share of what your members pay you, and you can leave it off.
This is not restraint. It is the business model.
The money never touches us
Your members pay your own Stripe account directly. Drry is not in the flow of funds, does not hold a balance for you, and does not pay you out on a schedule. There is nothing for us to take a percentage of on the way past, which is a different thing from choosing not to.
Your growth costs us almost nothing
A community earning ten times more does not cost us ten times more to run. A platform whose price scales with your revenue is charging you for its own upside, not for its costs, and we would rather charge a flat price we can defend.
It is the one thing that cannot be copied cheaply
A platform that already takes a percentage cannot drop to 0% without cutting revenue on every customer it has today. That is why this is a position and not a promotion: it is expensive for them and free for us, and it always will be.
What the others charge, in their own words.
Quoted from each platform's own pricing, with the date we last checked it and a link to the source. Read the labels: a percentage on one of these rows is a platform cut, and on another it is ordinary card processing that you would pay anywhere, including here. We are not going to blur the two to make our own case.
Skool
September 2026- Hobby plan
- 10% + $0.30 per member payment
- Pro plan
- 2.9% + $0.30 up to $899, 3.9% + $0.30 above
- Our reading (August 2026, third-party pricing breakdowns): All-in: that rate already contains card processing, so Skool's own margin on Pro is close to nothing until a single payment passes $899, where about 1% returns. Hobby's 10% is all-in the same way, leaving roughly 7 points of Skool margin.
Kajabi
September 2026- With Kajabi Payments
- 2.9% + $0.30 on Basic, 2.8% + $0.30 on Growth, 2.7% + $0.30 on Pro (card processing, US entities)
- Our reading (September 2026, help.kajabi.com US Kajabi Payments fees article): That is card processing, not a revenue share, but it is not the whole bill: Kajabi's US fee article adds 0.7% to every subscription and payment-plan charge, the first one included, plus 1.5% on international cards and 1% on currency conversion.
- Subscriptions and payment plans (help centre fee article)
- + 0.7%, in addition to the base processing rate
- With an outside processor
- 2% on Basic, 1% on Growth, 0.5% on Pro, excluding PayPal; subject to additional fees from the selected payment provider
- Our reading (September 2026, kajabi.com pricing FAQ and Q4 2025 pricing notice): This percentage is Kajabi's own cut when you bring Stripe or another provider, charged on top of that provider's fees. Kajabi's FAQ says it applies only in regions where Kajabi Payments is offered, and its Q4 2025 notice exempts legacy plans.
Circle
September 2026- Professional
- 2% of member payments
- Business
- 1% of member payments
- Scale
- 1% of member payments
- Circle Plus
- 0.5% of member payments
- Add-ons
- Email Hub $99/mo, admin seats $10/mo, branded emails $40/mo, extra spaces $20/mo per 10
Mighty Networks
September 2026- Launch
- 2% of member payments
- Scale
- 1% of member payments
- Growth
- 0.5% of member payments
- Explore
- 5% of member payments
- Our reading (September 2026, docs.mightynetworks.com's transaction-fee article, which covers the plan their pricing page's fee table leaves out): Their pricing page's fee table stops at the four plans above this one, so this rate is not on the page the rest of this entry cites. The help centre states it directly: on the Explore plan, a 5% transaction fee applies. Worth reading next to the price, because Explore is the cheapest way in and carries the steepest cut: the far end of the same ladder, where the cheaper the plan, the bigger Mighty's share.
Patreon

- 10% of memberships and one-off purchases
- Legacy pages

Podia
September 2026- Mover
- 5% of every paid sale
- Shaker and Earthquaker
- 0% platform fee
- Payment processing (all plans)
- 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction
Whop
September 2026- Platform fee
- 3% on products using an access app (Discord, Telegram, TradingView)
- Our reading (September 2026, Whop's Discord, Telegram and TradingView app pages, and whop.com/blog/getting-paid-on-whop): Neither the pricing page nor the fee docs list this 3%; each access app's own page states it for any payments on a product the app is added to. Whop's February 2026 article on getting paid says it charges a platform fee on most transactions, and may add a checkout service fee, without naming a rate, so no published figure covers a product with no access app.
- Card processing
- 2.7% + $0.30 domestic, +1.5% international, +1% currency conversion

- 1.5%, maximum $5
- Buy-now-pay-later

Linktree
September 2026- Free plan (from the help centre fee article)

- Our reading (September 2026, help.linktr.ee fee article): Linktree's own platform fee, per its help centre; Stripe's card processing is charged on top.

- Premium
- 0% seller fees

GoHighLevel
September 2026- Usage: SMS
- $0.00747 per segment, plus carrier surcharges on top
- Usage: email
- $0.675 per 1,000 sends
- Usage: phone calls
- $0.0166/min outbound, $1.15/mo per local number
- Usage: AI Employee
- $50/mo or $97/mo PER sub-account, on top of the plan
- Telecom pass-through
- a fixed 5% location-level markup on specific Phone System pass-through categories: A2P registration, SMS, MMS and RCS carrier fees, and Verified Caller ID
- Our reading (September 2026, help.gohighlevel.com LC Phone pricing guide): GoHighLevel's phone pricing guide says both that this markup applies "only when re-billing is enabled" and that it "always applies", and its own worked example charges it only with re-billing on. Budget as if it applies.
- MMS, inbound calls, toll-free numbers (help centre)
- MMS $0.0220 outbound; inbound calls $0.01165/min; toll-free numbers $2.15/mo
- SMS carrier surcharges, US sample (help centre)
- AT&T $0.0035, T-Mobile $0.0045, Verizon $0.0045 per outbound SMS; Verizon rises to $0.0050 on October 1, 2026

Thinkific
September 2026- Using Thinkific Payments
- will not incur a third-party payment gateway fee, at 2.9% to process the card
- Our reading (September 2026, our own reading of thinkific.com/pricing, which states the gateway-fee waiver rather than a 0% rate): This is the strongest fee story of any platform here and it is fair to call it 0%, as long as 0% is understood as THINKIFIC'S OWN MARGIN rather than 0% of the payment: the 2.9% is ordinary card processing, which every platform's processor charges. What it is conditional on is the row below.
- Using Stripe or PayPal instead
- an additional third-party payment gateway fee applies and it varies per plan type
- Our reading (September 2026, support.thinkific.com's transaction-fee article, which publishes the per-plan gateway rates the pricing page leaves out): The mirror image of the row above, and the one to read first if you want to keep your own payment account: bring your own and Thinkific charges a cut of its own on top of that account's processing, at a rate that falls as the plan gets dearer. Their pricing page states that the fee exists and varies without naming the rates, and their help centre does name them: 5% on Basic, 2% on Start, 1% on Grow, 0.5% on Expand, and none at all on Plus. It applies only to your first $1M of sales through Thinkific in a calendar year.
- The TCommerce default payment methods
- the transaction fees vary
- Our reading (September 2026, support.thinkific.com's payments articles, which price the default methods the pricing page only names): The quietest of the three, and it applies to methods that are ON by default rather than to something you opt into. Their pricing page offers Apple Pay and Google Pay as its examples here and names no rate for any of them; their help centre does, and the answer splits: the two wallets carry nothing extra, while Cash App, Link and Amazon Pay are 3.9% + $0.30 and buy-now-pay-later is 6.5% + $0.30. So the single 2.9% above is the floor rather than the whole schedule, and which of these your buyers reach for is what decides your blended rate.
Substack
September 2026- Paid subscriptions
- 10% of your subscription revenue
- Our reading (September 2026, our own reading of Substack's help center, which states Stripe's card and recurring-billing fees apply in addition): Substack's own cut, and not the whole cost: Stripe charges its card fee on top, plus a further fee on recurring billing, so what reaches you is meaningfully less than 90%. Read 10% as the floor, not the total. The cut also never stops, so it grows with you for as long as you stay.
Discord
September 2026- Server Subscriptions
- a Platform Fee, plus a Payment Processing Fee and a Transaction Fee as applicable
- Our reading (September 2026, Discord's Creator Revenue FAQ, which states the 90/10 split): Discord summarises this elsewhere as a 90/10 split in your favour, and 90% is the ceiling rather than the figure: the platform fee is the 10%, and the processing and transaction fees in the Terms come off on top of it. A subscription bought inside the iOS app pays Apple as well, which Discord handles by charging iOS members a higher price.
Gumroad
September 2026- Sold through your own link
- 10% + $0.50 per sale
- Our reading (September 2026, gumroad.com/help/article/66-gumroads-fees): The two rates are not comparable as printed, because only one of them is all-in: Discover's 30% already contains processing, while this 10% + $0.50 does not and card processing lands on top. So the gap between them is narrower than 20 points, and a direct sale costs about 13% all-in rather than 10%, before the $0.50. Card processing on a direct sale is 2.9% + $0.30, and the direct rate falls to 5% + $0.50 for the rest of a calendar month once that month's paid sales pass $20,000.
- Found through Gumroad Discover
- 30% per sale
- Payouts
- Direct deposit or PayPal, varies by country
- Our reading (September 2026, gumroad.com/help/article/13-getting-paid): A scheduled payout needs a balance of at least $100 (higher in some local currencies), and on the weekly, monthly and quarterly schedules each sale is held for at least 7 days first. PayPal payouts carry a 2% processing fee. US sellers who qualify can take an instant payout for 3%, up to $10,000 at a time. The article lists no fee on a standard bank payout.
Memberful
September 2026- Standard
- 4.9% transaction fee
- Our reading (September 2026, our own reading of the three charges memberful.com/pricing states): Three charges, not one, and the page states them separately: the $49, this 4.9%, and Stripe's processing on top of both. So the bill rises with your revenue while the subscription stays, which is the arrangement to model before comparing it with a platform that charges one or the other.
- Card processing
- Typically 2.9% + $0.30 through Stripe, on top of both the subscription and the 4.9%
beehiiv
September 2026- Paid subscriptions
- 0% Take Rate on Paid Subscriptions
- Our reading (September 2026, our own reading of beehiiv.com/pricing, where the 0% take rate sits under the paid tiers and the feature table marks paid subscriptions unavailable on Launch): The strongest fee story of any platform here, and the condition is which plan it is on: 0% is listed as a Scale and Max feature, not as a Launch one, and the feature table marks paid subscriptions unavailable on Launch. So the zero cut is bought with a subscription rather than available from a standing start, and what the subscription costs depends on how many subscribers you hold.
- Payment processing
- Stripe's standard processing fee of 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction
- Paid recommendations (help centre)
- A 20% fee applies to all paid recommendations, already factored into the marketplace price
Squarespace
September 2026- Basic
- 7% transaction fee on digital products
- Our reading (September 2026, our own reading of squarespace.com's transaction-fee article, whose digital-products table is the one that covers memberships and courses): Squarespace files member areas, courses and memberships under digital products, so this is the rate that applies to what your members pay you. It is charged on top of the monthly subscription rather than instead of it, and on top of payment processing, so it is the platform's own cut rather than an all-in rate.
- Core
- 5% transaction fee on digital products
- Plus
- 1% transaction fee on digital products
- Advanced
- 0% transaction fee on digital products
- Our reading (September 2026, our own reading of the plan and fee tables on squarespace.com, read together): The zero is real and it is bought: Advanced is the only one of the four plans that reaches it, and it lists at $139 a month. Every cheaper plan takes a percentage of what your members pay you, so quoting Squarespace as a 0% platform without naming Advanced would describe the most expensive plan and charge the reader for the other three.
- Legacy plans, no Digital Products plan
- All other plans 9% unless you have a Digital Products plan
- Our reading (September 2026, our own reading of support.squarespace.com's Digital Products plan pricing article): Only a site still on an older website plan (Personal, Business or Commerce) lands here. Those sites could once buy a Digital Products plan to cut the rate, to 7% on Starter, 3% on Core and 0% on Pro, and a site that holds one keeps that rate, but none can be bought since July 23, 2026: the help centre sends everyone to the current four plans instead.
- Online store, physical goods
- 2% on Basic, then 0% on Core, Plus and Advanced
- Card processing (US)
- Credit card rates starting at 2.9% + $0.30 on Basic and Core, 2.7% + $0.30 on Plus, 2.5% + $0.30 on Advanced
- Our reading (September 2026, our own reading of support.squarespace.com's transaction fees and payment processing rates article): Those are Squarespace Payments' standard-card rates, and "starting at" is doing work: premium cards, American Express among them, are 3.2% + $0.30 on every plan, and an international card adds 1.5%. Connect Stripe or PayPal instead and their own rates apply, with the transaction fee collected alongside.
- Add-ons
- A free custom domain for one year on annual plans; Email Campaigns and Acuity Scheduling are billed as their own subscriptions
- Our reading (September 2026, our own reading of acuityscheduling.com's pricing page and support.squarespace.com's Email Campaigns and transaction-fee articles): So a site with email and booking is three bills, not one. Email Campaigns is priced by monthly sends: its entry plan allows 500 sends and keeps the Powered by Squarespace footer, and its prices sit behind a slider we could not read without a browser. Acuity lists Starter $16/mo billed annually or $20 monthly, Standard $27 or $34, and Premium $49 or $61, each with a 7-day trial, and Squarespace takes no transaction fee on appointment payments.
Kit
September 2026- Commerce sales
- 3.5% + $0.30 per transaction
- Our reading (September 2026, help.kit.com, the Kit Commerce overview and FAQs, read through domain-restricted search because the site refuses automated fetches): That rate includes card processing, and the help centre calls it the only cost of selling, so it replaces the card fee rather than stacking a platform cut on top of Stripe's. Against Stripe's standard US card rate, the platform's own share is well under one percentage point.
- Subscriber count
- Paid plan pricing scales with your subscriber count
- Our reading (September 2026, help.kit.com, the subscriber profile and status article, read through domain-restricted search): Only confirmed subscribers are billed. Unsubscribed, bounced, complained, blocked and unconfirmed subscribers stay in the account without counting toward the price, so the bill follows the people you can actually mail rather than the size of the whole database.
- Paid Recommendations (help centre)
- 20% service fee and 3.5% transaction fee on each successful referral
Systeme.io
September 2026- Transaction fees
- 0% on every plan
- Our reading (September 2026, help.systeme.io Stripe and PayPal connection articles): 0% is the platform's cut only. Payments run through the Stripe or PayPal account you connect, so that processor's standard fees still apply to every sale.
- Going over a contact limit (help centre)
- Free: restricted after three warning emails, one per day, and opt-ins and payments stop working; paid plans: automatically upgraded to the next available tier
- SMS (help centre)
- costs and delivery managed directly through Twilio, depending on your country and plan
Pricing changes, and some of these will have moved by the time you read this, so check the current terms before you commit to anyone, us included. The full comparison goes dimension by dimension, the head-to-heads below take two platforms at a time, and the calculator does the arithmetic on your own numbers, and the membership side shows what 0% looks like once the recurring payments are yours.
The fee questions.
Does the 0% fee apply on the free plan too?
Yes, and that is the point of saying it here rather than in a pricing footnote. There is no plan on Drry where we take a share of what your members pay you. A coach on the free plan keeps exactly the same 100% as a coach on Growth.
Is there a limit on what I can earn?
Not on a paid plan, and the fee is 0% either way. The free plan includes up to $500 of earnings a month, counting everything you take through Drry: memberships, your store, payment links and event tickets. Past that, new paid members and new orders pause until the month resets, while members already paying keep renewing as normal. That is a plan limit, like the storage or the number of products, and not a cut: we take nothing from what you do earn, at any level, on any plan.
Is 0% an introductory rate?
No. It is not a promotion, a launch offer, or a rate that steps up at a revenue threshold. This page is our public statement of it, 31 August 2026, and if we ever proposed to change it we would say so here first and in writing to every coach, not in a pricing-page footnote.
So what do I actually pay?
Stripe's fees, and your Drry plan. Stripe bills you directly on its own published schedule, card processing being the main one at about 2.9% + 30 cents in the US, and none of it passes through us. Your Drry plan is $0, $29 a month, or $99 a month, and the only charges we add beyond it are for usage past what your paid plan includes: live-video hours, email sends past your monthly allowance at $0.25 per 1,000, and files stored past your plan's included storage at $0.20 per GB at your peak each billing period. Each is opt-in and capped by you to the cent. What no part of that includes is a share of your revenue going to us, on any plan.
Who holds the money?
You do. Payments run as direct charges on a Stripe account in your own name, so your customers, their subscriptions, and their payment methods belong to your business rather than to ours. If you left Drry tomorrow, that account and those subscribers would still be yours.
How much does a percentage actually cost?
Multiply it out over a year rather than reading it per payment, because that is how it lands. A cut of a few percent on a community earning a few thousand a month is a four-figure annual bill, and it grows exactly as you do, while a flat subscription does not. Our calculator does the arithmetic on your own numbers.
