The 0% commission bet

Every booking platform takes a cut. We decided not to. Here is the reasoning, and how the maths actually works out for a host.

When you sell a session through most booking tools, the platform quietly keeps a slice, often 10% to 20%. For a creator running on thin margins, that slice is the whole difference between a side project and a living. It is also the part nobody mentions in the marketing.

We took the other side of that bet: hosts keep 100% of what they earn on their sessions. We make money on subscriptions and add-ons, not by standing between a creator and their customer with our hand out.

Doesn’t that leave money on the table?

In the short term, yes. In the long term, a platform aligned with its hosts grows faster than one that taxes them. When you win because they win, you end up building very different software, and you make very different decisions about what to ship.

  • Hosts keep their full session price, every time.
  • Payments settle straight to verified hosts with GST-ready invoices.
  • Our revenue comes from optional plans, not a per-booking cut.
The simple test

If a feature only makes money by costing the host money, it does not ship. That single rule kills a lot of tempting ideas, on purpose, and it is the most useful constraint we have.

It is a limit we put on ourselves deliberately, and it shapes every pricing decision we make. Compare it against the per-booking cut on the tool you use today, then come try the other way.
