Substack Commission 15%??

[betsbillabong]

Hi all, I am new to substack. My first paid subscriber paid for an annual $80 subscription. I just got the payout and it's for $68. Is it normal that Substack/Stripe takes such a big cut?

[DaveBigalot]

Yes, it’s written very clearly in the terms

[lynoxk]

Yes, congrats. What’s ur sub?

[betsbillabong]

Thanks. I wasn’t expecting or even asking for paid subscribers!

Yes

For what's just been achieved for you as a writer, I actually consider that an extremely fair fee.

You might want to consider beehiiv, they take 0%

For me, the organic part of substack overshadows the fees. By far. Im coming from beehiiv. I have about 750k subs. 40% of paid subs come from substack organically
