How revenue works
| 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 |
Creators set their own prices with a $1.00 minimum for paid products. Free products are always free — no fees apply. The 92% creator share is the highest of any AI tool marketplace — for comparison, Apple's App Store takes 30%, and most SaaS marketplaces take 20-40%.
How do creators get paid?
Creators connect their Stripe account during onboarding via Stripe Connect Express. Payouts follow Stripe's standard schedule (typically 2 business days after a sale).
Are there free products?
Yes. Creators can publish products at no cost. Free products have no fees, no revenue split, and no Stripe requirement. Free products are the fastest way to build reputation and downloads.
What does the 8% platform fee cover?
The platform fee covers infrastructure (hosting, CDN, Firebase, search), content scanning and security audits, payment processing overhead, and marketplace curation.
Can I change my product price?
Yes. Creators can update pricing at any time via vault.yaml and myclaude publish. Existing buyers who purchased at the previous price retain access. Price changes apply to future purchases only.
Is there a subscription model?
Not currently. All products use one-time purchase pricing. Subscription support is planned for a future release.
