Why Kyre charges a transaction fee instead of a subscription

We thought about charging $30/mo for everyone. Here's why we didn't.

Most platforms in this space lead with a monthly price - and a fairly high one, often before you’ve made a single sale. We built Kyre differently on purpose.

The problem with subscription-first pricing

If you’re just starting out, a $150/mo bill is a real bet. You’re paying for the tool whether or not it’s working yet. That math is fine for someone who already has an audience and a proven offer. It’s brutal for someone testing their first idea.

Our model: free until it’s working, then a small fee

On Kyre’s Free plan, you get the full product - the builder, hosting, memberships, checkout, email - for $0/mo. The only thing you pay is a 10% fee on what you actually sell. No sales, no bill. Your first sale, a small cut. That’s it.

As you grow, you can move to a paid plan that lowers the fee - down to 2% on Creator, 1% on Pro, and 0% on Business. At some point, paying a flat monthly fee becomes cheaper than the percentage, and that’s exactly when it makes sense to upgrade. The pricing is designed to match the bill to the stage you’re actually at.

Why this is good for us too

A model like this only works long-term if we’re aligned with you. We only do well when you’re making sales. That’s a healthier incentive than a flat subscription that gets paid whether your launch goes well or not - it means we’re motivated to keep making the checkout, the templates, and the email tools actually convert, not just exist.

What this isn’t

This isn’t a “free trial” with a countdown clock. The Free plan doesn’t expire and doesn’t get feature-limited later. It’s free, permanently, for as long as the fee structure makes sense for where you’re at. Nobody should have to guess whether their free plan is about to disappear.
