Frequently asked questions
Questions people actually ask
Do I need to talk to anyone to try this?
No. The free churn-cost calculator runs without an account, a card or a call.
What does it cost?
The free tier is free forever. Paid plans start at $29 per month.
Who is this actually for?
Independent writers, researchers, analysts, educators and small publishers who have an audience and no way to charge them without moving to a platform that takes a cut forever.
What problem does it solve?
Someone with a good newsletter, a research report or a set of tutorials who wants to charge for some of it faces a choice between moving their whole operation onto a publishing platform that takes a permanent percentage and owns the relationship, or building payment infrastructure themselves.
Can I get my data out?
Yes. You can download everything as a JSON file from your account settings at any time, and deleting your account deletes your data.
Why should I trust the result?
It is plain arithmetic on the numbers you put in, worked out in your browser. Change any input and every figure updates, so you can check each one yourself.
