What does it cost?
Regular is $9 a month or $60 a year, with your own website, domain, memberships and members-only posts. Drate takes 5% of membership sales, and Stripe’s card processing applies. Pro adds your own iPhone and Android app for $12 a month.
Can some chapters be free and others for members?
Yes. Each chapter can be free for everyone or for the memberships you choose. Locked chapters show a preview and a way to join.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, on every plan. Connect a domain you own. Until then, your site lives at yourname.drate.app.
Can I bring my patrons from Patreon?
Yes. Connect Patreon, and your patrons keep their access while you switch.
Who owns my reader list?
You do. Download your members’ names and emails as a spreadsheet any time.
Does Drate email my chapters to readers?
No. Drate is a website, not an email newsletter. Readers read your chapters on your site.
