Quick Reference & Frequently Asked Questions

Why am I losing nearly 20% of a $5/month Substack subscription when Substack says their fee is 10%?

Because three fees stack on every payment: Substack takes 10% ($0.50), Stripe takes 2.9% + $0.30 ($0.445), and Stripe Billing charges an extra 0.7% ($0.035) for recurring subscriptions. On a $5.00 monthly charge, $0.98 goes to fees—an effective 19.6% take rate.

At what subscriber count is it cheaper to leave Substack for Beehiiv or Ghost?

A flat-fee newsletter platform costing $99/month ($1,188/year) with 0% platform commission breaks even against Substack's 10% fee as soon as your gross subscription revenue hits $11,880/year—which is just 142 subscribers paying $7/month.

Why does converting monthly subscribers to an annual plan increase net margin even with a 2-month discount?

First, you only pay the $0.30 fixed Stripe fee once per year instead of 12 times ($3.30 saved per subscriber). Second, monthly subscribers churn at 5%–8% per month (~48% annual attrition), whereas annual subscribers lock in 12 months of cash flow upfront.

How does Apple's 30% iOS App Store fee affect Patreon creators?

New memberships purchased inside the Patreon iOS app are subject to Apple's 30% in-app purchase fee unless the creator either absorbs the 30% cut or enables price gross-up (raising an $8 tier to ~$11.50 on iOS, which reduces conversion). Routing followers to subscribe via mobile Safari/Chrome avoids the 30% Apple tax completely.
