Publishing $0 share of paid revenue pricing page 2026-10-20

Publishing: No monthly fee, free no matter how many subscribers. If paid subscriptions are on, Substack keeps 10% of each subscription payment, plus Stripe fees (2.9% + $0.30 per US card payment and 0.7% for recurring billing, per the same article). Not comparable to per-subscriber pricing: cost depends on paid revenue, not list size.
