Pricing & Revenue
Creators keep 92% of every sale. Not 30% like the App Store. Not 15% like Gumroad. Eight percent, because we're building infrastructure, not a rent-seeking empire.
Creators keep 92% of every sale. Not 30% like the App Store. Not 15% like Gumroad. Not 20-40% like most SaaS marketplaces. Eight percent — because we're building infrastructure for the Claude Code ecosystem, not a rent-seeking empire.
The numbers
| Component | Rate | Who pays |
|---|---|---|
| Creator revenue | 92% of sale price | Buyer (via Stripe) |
| Platform fee | 8% of sale price | Deducted automatically |
| Stripe processing | ~2.9% + $0.30 | Deducted from creator payout |
You set your own prices. Minimum $1.00 for paid products. Free products are always free — no fees, no Stripe requirement, no catch.
When a buyer purchases your product, the money flows directly to your connected Stripe account. We never hold creator funds. Payouts follow Stripe's standard schedule — typically 2 business days.
Why 8%?
The platform fee covers what it costs to run MyClaude well: hosting, CDN, search indexing, content scanning, security audits, and marketplace curation. It does not cover a 200-person sales team or a Super Bowl ad.
If we cannot sustain this platform on 8%, we are doing something wrong.
Free products are a strategy, not a limitation
Free products earn downloads, reviews, and reputation. They build your audience. Many successful creators publish free products first, build a following, then release paid premium versions. No fees apply — ever.
Common questions
How do I start receiving payments?
Connect your Stripe account in under 5 minutes during creator onboarding. Once connected, you can publish paid products immediately.
Can I change my price later?
Yes. Update vault.yaml and run myclaude publish. Existing buyers keep access at the price they paid. New purchases use the updated price.
Is there a subscription model?
Not yet. All products use one-time purchase pricing. Subscription support is on the roadmap.
What if I'm not a developer?
You don't need to be. MyClaude products include Minds (thinking frameworks), CLAUDE.md configs (project templates), and Skills (workflow automations) — many created by marketers, strategists, and domain experts who use Claude Code professionally, not as engineers.
How does this compare to other marketplaces?
