Transaction fees

Same rate on all tiers. Two simple models depending on the transaction type. For example:

Tips

The tipper chooses at checkout: cover the fee so you keep 100%, or have it deducted from the tip.

Every tip — one rate, Stripe included

Questions

Can I really start for free?
Yes. Starter is a complete owned-audience toolkit forever — run unlimited giveaways, receive unlimited tips, send up to four newsletters a month, sell one product in your store, and create three membership tiers. A small transaction fee helps cover credit card transactions, but you won't receive a bill for subscription fees. Upgrade to Studio or Pro when you need more sends, more products, or more sendable contacts. Everything you've built carries over.
What happens to my giveaway entrants on the free tier?
They're saved, and they're yours. Every entrant lands in your fan database and you can export it anytime, on any plan. The plan caps only govern how many contacts you can email and how often — never what you can export.
What are YouTube Post Alerts?
When you upload a new YouTube video, Busker automatically emails your fans to tell them about it. No algorithm deciding who sees it.
Can I export my fan data?
Yes — on every plan, anytime, including Starter. Names, emails, subscription status, purchase history. It's your data. No lock-in.
Do I need a separate Stripe account?
No. Busker handles payments through Stripe Connect — you'll connect your bank account during setup and payouts go directly to you. No separate Stripe dashboard to manage.

Start free. Upgrade when it clicks.
