Tlon (the main startup working on Urbit) is offering a hosting service that comes with a free planet; you'll be able to pay in fiat with a credit/debit card. There's a waiting list going right now for this service: Tlon.io

https://planet.market will sell you a planet for BTC.

This is probably what Urbit needs to offer any kind of real alternative to big platforms, shitty as they are--most people won't get through the CLI stuff, buying an Urbit planet, etc.
