Membership billing and optional Patreon transfer are available with every site template.

What it costs.

  • Pro$12 a month, or $10 billed yearly, and 0% of sales.

At $1,000 a month in memberships, Free keeps $950 and Pro keeps $988. Stripe’s card processing applies on both and goes to Stripe, not Drate.

Good to know.

Anything else? Start free and look around. There’s nothing to cancel.

Does Drate host my podcast feed?

No. Keep your podcast host and the apps your listeners already use. Drate is the home around the show: member extras, posts, episode links and a community, on your own site.

What can members get?

Members-only posts, video and downloads in your library, a private community feed, and messages with you from your inbox.

I’m on Patreon already. Do I have to start over?

No. Connect Patreon and map each tier to a Drate membership, and your patrons get access to your site when they sign in. Add direct memberships beside them whenever you’re ready.

What does it cost?

Free costs nothing up front and takes 5% of membership sales. Pro is $12 a month ($10 billed yearly) and takes nothing. Stripe’s standard card processing applies on both, and goes to Stripe, not us.

Keep the show independent.

Start with podcast. Add your branding and content, set your offers, and publish when you’re ready.

Keep your podcast host and listening apps. Drate brings your videos, posts, episode links, and member extras together; it doesn’t host a podcast feed.
