The platform fee applies equally to individual content sales and fan subscription revenue. Stripe processing fees (~2.9% + $0.30 per transaction) are separate and passed through — never folded into RTST’s platform fee.

How fees work

One simple rate, applied to everything.

Whether a fan buys your album for $15 or subscribes to you for $5/month, the platform fee is the same flat percentage. Creator and Lifetime Creator tiers cut it in half.

Example

On the Creator tier, if you earn $3,000 this month — $2,000 from sales and $1,000 from subscriptions — RTST’s platform fee is $120 total (4% of $3,000). Stripe processing (~2.9% + $0.30 per transaction) is separate. You keep the rest.
