For artists, writers, podcasters and anyone who shares their work for free
Buy me a coffee,
on a site of your own.
Take tips with a message, and turn regular supporters into members.
Browse the homepage, content, and membership pages. An illustrative example, ready for your own name and work.
What your site starts with.
- PostsA clean editorial home for essays, updates, and long-form posts. Publish once, share everywhere.
- Member messagesHave private conversations with active members from your inbox.
Membership billing and optional Patreon transfer are available with every site template.
What it costs.
- Regular$9 a month, or $60 a year, and 5% of membership sales.
- Pro$12 a month, or $99 a year, and the same 5% of membership sales.
At $1,000 a month in memberships, Regular keeps $941 and Pro keeps $938. Stripe’s card processing applies on both and goes to Stripe, not Drate.
Good to know.
Anything else? Write to support@drate.app and we’ll answer there.
What does Drate keep from a tip?
4% of each tip, less than the 5% Buy Me a Coffee takes. Stripe’s card fee still applies, and goes to Stripe. Tips are paid straight into your own Stripe account. Memberships carry Drate’s usual 5%.
Do supporters need an account?
No. They pick how many coffees, leave a name and a message if they like, and pay with a card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Signed-in members tip the same way.
Can a tip be something other than a coffee?
Yes. Name what one tip buys (a coffee, a slice of pizza, a new brush), its emoji and its price, and choose the quick counts visitors pick from.
Who sees the messages?
Your newest public messages show on your page. A supporter can keep theirs private, and you can take any message off your page from Members › Supporters.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, on every plan. Point a domain you own at Drate. Until then, your site lives at yourname.drate.app.
What does it cost?
Regular is $9 a month or $60 a year and takes 5% of membership sales. Pro adds your own app for $12 a month or $99 a year and takes the same 5%. Stripe’s standard card processing applies on both, and goes to Stripe, not us.
