Frequently asked questions

How does the 0% commission model work?

Writizzy charges a flat monthly subscription fee for the platform itself. When your readers pay for a subscription, the money goes directly to your Stripe account. Writizzy does not take any percentage of your revenue. You only pay standard Stripe processing fees (approximately 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction).

How much more do I keep compared to Substack?

On Substack, a creator earning $5,000 per month pays $500 in platform fees plus ~$175 in Stripe fees, keeping about $4,325. On Writizzy, the same creator pays only Stripe fees (~$175) plus a flat platform fee, keeping significantly more. The savings grow as your revenue grows — at $10,000/month, Substack takes $1,000 while Writizzy still charges the same flat fee.

Do I need my own Stripe account?

Yes. You create a free Stripe account (or connect an existing one) and link it in your Writizzy dashboard. This means you own the payment relationship with your subscribers — you can see transactions, manage disputes, and receive payouts on your own schedule.

Can I offer both free and paid content on the same blog?

Absolutely. Each post can be set as public (visible to everyone), free-member-only (requires a free subscription), or premium (requires a paid subscription). You control the mix — many creators keep most content free and reserve deep-dives or bonus content for paying subscribers.
