You set the rate. You keep almost all of it.
Publsh does not charge you to build a page, to list, or to stay listed. You price your own stream, and one flat fee comes out of a deal only when it settles. Founders lock 8% for life, standard is 12.5%, so you keep 92% or 87.5% of everything you close.
Free to build · you set the rate · no deals required to startOne flat fee, and it only lands when you get paid.
No tiers to decode and no add-ons. There is a founder fee and a standard fee, both a flat percentage of a settled deal. That is the whole pricing model.
The first founding creators lock an 8% fee on every deal, forever, however it originated. The reward for getting in and building early.
Still one flat fee, still no fine print, and still well under the roughly 20% a management agency takes. Founders never move off 8%.
The fee is the only thing between the rate and your balance.
You set a rate. A brand books it. When the deal settles, the fee comes out and the rest is yours, in your balance, ready to move to your bank. There is no ad-spend markup, no placement surcharge, and no monthly cost eating into it.
The numbers below are an example to show how the fee is applied. They are not a forecast or a promise of what you will earn, what you make depends on the rate you set and the deals you close.
Example math: you set the rate. Founders keep $92 of every $100. Not a forecast of earnings.
The math, in three numbers.
No listing fees. No monthly cost. One fee, out of the deal.
No listing or monthly fees
Building your page and keeping it live costs nothing. The only time Publsh earns is when you close a deal, so we only win when you do.
You set the rate
You price your corner, your lower-third, your banner. We never set a rate for you. When there is data to show, we will show you what creators your size charge, but the number is always yours.
One fee, out of the deal
The fee comes out of a deal when it settles, not up front and not on a subscription. On the founder tier that is 8%, on standard 12.5%. Nothing else is deducted.
The founder rate is earned by being early, not by signing up.
The founder cohort is the first 100 creators to claim their handle. No booking needed. Founders are the ones who help build the market, so the 8% rate is the reward for getting in early, and it is locked for life. Publsh may add or remove founding creators at its discretion.
A finder's fee for bringing a brand
Bring a brand to Publsh and earn 4% of everything that brand spends with other creators, for its first year, paid out of our take and never charged to you. Founders only, once referrals open.
The pricing questions creators actually ask.
Does it cost anything to start?
No. Building your page, listing, and staying listed are free. The fee only applies to a deal when it settles, so you can set up and hold your handle without a deal.
Who sets my rate?
You do, every time. Publsh never prices your hours. When there is enough data, we will show you what creators your size charge as a reference, but the rate is yours.
What is the fee, exactly?
One flat percentage of a settled deal: 8% if you are a founder, 12.5% on the standard rate. You keep 92% or 87.5%. There is no separate listing, placement, or monthly charge.
How do founders lock 8%?
The founder cohort is the first 100 creators to claim their handle. No booking needed. Claim yours and your 8% is locked for life. Publsh may add or remove founding creators at its discretion.
What can I expect to earn?
That depends entirely on the rate you set and the deals you close, so we do not publish an earnings figure and any number on this page is a labelled example, not a forecast. What we can promise is the fee: you keep 92% or 87.5% of what you close.
No listing fees, no monthly cost, and no surprises in the fine print.
