The cost behind the creator economy
Creator economy platform costs
A pricing calculator for creator economy platforms.
I don't use Ghost as a way to supplement my income (I've disabled every membership feature), but I'm still interested by the costs behind the different platforms creators can use to monetize their audience. I support folks on a couple places, so I'm curious about what their best options are. Ghost, behiiv, Buttondown (publisher of the above calculator), and Kofi are all waaaaaaay better than Substack.
Speaking of which, a few notes on Substack:
- Don't call it a Substack. (Anil Dash)
- Substack is at it again (The Handbasket)
- Substack still sucks (Platformer)
